Decal has released the official trailer for Gaia (2021), the South African eco-horror film written by Tertius Kapp and directed by Jaco Bouwer.
Presented in world premiere at SXSW in Austin, Texas, Gaia will be released in US theaters on June 18 (single date) and on streaming platforms on June 25.
The film's story focuses on a malevolent creature that lives in the forest, a being older than humanity itself.
Plot: During a surveillance mission in a primeval forest, a park ranger encounters two men, father and son, who live in the wild, a condition, perhaps, that has led them to have a mysterious and strange relationship with nature.
When the chalet is attacked one night by strange, semi-human creatures, the ranger will discover that the place is ruled by a malevolent deity but not only that. The woman will eventually stumble upon a murky secret that could change the world.
The cast of Gaia includes Monique Rockman, Carel Nel, Alex van Dyk, and Anthony Oseyemi.
