GAIA cerebrated its UK Premiere at London's Frightfest.
Following its UK premiere at FrightFest in August, Altitude have released new artwork for the intense and extraordinary horror GAIA, ahead of its release on altitude.film and other digital platforms from September 27.
GAIA stars Monique Rockman & Carel Nel.
A timely and terrifying eco-horror that will appeal to fans of gripping mindbenders Midsommar, The Ruins, Annihilation, and In The Earth, GAIA is a chilling and remarkable assured feature film debut from South African director Jaco Bouwer, with buckets of atmosphere, superbly unsettling effects - and a magnificent central performance from Monique Rockman (Number 37) as a forest ranger who encounters some serious weirdness in the forest - including a fanatical recluse brilliantly played by Carel Nel, who Kim Newman says, “is a compelling maniac figure” whose off the grid lifestyle isn’t what it appears to be.
GAIA Is released on ALTITUDE.FILM & other Digital Platforms from 27 September 2021.
SYNOPSIS: An injured forest ranger on a routine mission is saved by two off-the-grid survivalists. What is initially a welcome rescue grows more suspicious as the son and his renegade father reveal a cultish devotion to the forest. When their cabin is attacked by a strange being it’s clear there is a far greater threat in this unrelenting wilderness.
