Showmax has just released their first original South African horror movie, and if you love to be frightened out of your wits, this is the perfect film for you to watch during lockdown.
Here’s the storyline: A group of school-leavers descend on a tiny coastal town for a celebration of their freedom. Roxy, Sihle, Kyle, Leon, Tamsyn and Neo party on the beach and drink themselves silly every night. The townsfolk, Hermien and her son Albert, are welcoming – too welcoming. During a psychedelic trip on the beach, the friends witness a disturbing birth ritual, which could be a hallucination, or not. Soon fertility figurines start to appear at random places, and what is supposed to be the best holiday of their lives turns to horror as the teenagers are picked off one by one.
Rage is directed by multi-award-winning theatre director Jaco Bouwer and stars Nicole Fortuin stars as Tamsyn, Jane de Wet as Roxy, Tristan de Beer as Kyle, Carel Nel as Albert, Sihle Mnqwazana as Neo, Shalima Mkongi as Sihle and David Viviers as Leon.
