"It's hard to really review this proof of concept short that is Apocalypse Now Now, as it feels like a 5 minute snippet from a completed film. The story is set in South Africa where our sixteen year old protagonist has hired a drunken, drug fulled paranormal bounty hunter to help him track down his presumed kidnapped girlfriend. Oh, and our protagonist has killed people, apparently.
The setting of South Africa mixed with supernatural is an interesting one, the delivery of deadpan swearing in that accent works so well and even these brief back and forths between the two characters is funny and engaging. A tense encounter with an electrical elemental monster is brilliant, the effects solid, the creature design unique. If this becomes a feature film I will be watching it as soon as possible"
