A bit overrated, but still an amazing film
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
View MoreThis is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.
View MoreAlthough a slow start, half-caste becomes willingly more exciting towards the end. The story line has good potential. Easily to become another cult-classic. To easily describe the movie, Half-caste combines Cabin Fever and Blair Witch rolled up into one. Although it is not a comedy, half-caste seems to point out the sarcastic humor which takes place when people are in fear, the kind of survival of the fittest cliché, the "its you or me who is going to die, IT Ain't GOING TO BE ME!", that takes on most horror films. Although some parts seem to be overly scripted, there are many parts of this film that seem very interesting, original and hauntingly real. According to the Press Release, this movie was filmed right in the South African Backyard, steps away from the real "Nature". This movie also boasts the first taping of a real Sangoma Witch. Much of the bush footage is real. While watching this film you start to think how tough it was to find a crew willing to go out in the middle of nowhere to and face that much danger for a film. This was no San Diego Zoo. I would definitely give this movie a second viewing.
View MoreIn this horrible attempt at a Blair Witch mockumentary, a bunch of people go to Africa to investigate a creature called the Half-Caste. It's pretty obvious that there was no script to speak of, and that everything was improvised. That can work if you have good actors, which this film didn't. This movie tries to gain points for originality by exploring a more obscure myth and an exotic culture. As a result, there are a lot of scenes out in the bush where characters do "quirky African stuff" like eating elephant dung. There is also some pretty good footage of lions eating (from a National Geographic perspective) but there's not a single scare in the whole movie. If you've seen Cannibal Holocaust or the Blair Witch Project, this movie will hold no surprises for you, and you can probably watch better lion footage on the Discovery Channel.Definitely a Half- Aste effort. A note to the filmmakers: guys, do us all a favor and next time save the "How I spent my African Vacation" home movie for your family and close friends. Nobody else wants to see it.
View MoreIt was absolute FUN and I'm ready for the CULT following! You have to be a little tweaked to get it and I got it. There is a lot of wise ass remarks and crazy behavior on the Safari that made me laugh so much. If you like things that can not be explained and roam in the night, then this half leopard is for you. I love to find new stuff out there that has a cult appeal, and this is really different. Not for everybody's taste though. But I truly enjoyed it. Especially the interviews with the natives in Africa and that strange thing running on all fours at the end. Thank god it wasn't some CGI thing running around. Lighten up, it was a fun ride! I highly recommend it to the strange out there.
View MoreWarning....possibly some minor spoilers ahead.The DVD box to Half-Caste looked quite interesting, the movie description sounded very interesting, too bad the movie was worthless. I had to force myself to sit through the entire movie, it really was that bad. Most of the time I was so bored that it was sleep inducing. I'm still in shock of how terrible this movie truly was.I still don't know what exactly they were trying to do with this film. It's an incoherent mess of a film that looks more like an MTV episode of The Real World than anything. The acting is about on par with a reality TV show program, in other words not very believable. In many scenes there's even an annoying web address in the corner of the screen. What was the point of this? It didn't look like a webcam broadcast at all...it was simply annoying and looked fake. There's nothing scary, nothing funny, and the characters are ALL intensely annoying. In fact there's nothing memorable at all in regards to the film. I only wish now that I hadn't rented this one!
