Fried Barry

Weird, trippy, extreme, hallucinogenic and psychological madness from South Africa! The story focuses on a junkie named Barry who is a living wreck, his life is unenviable, and to top it off he is abducted by aliens who send a scout in his body back to Earth to explore it! The actor playing Barry, Gary Green, has such a nasty looking mug that he will give anyone nightmares. He embarks on an exploration of a town full of sex, strange people, drugs and violence, and though there's no outright gore, which is a shame, it's weird, disturbingly repulsive and creepy more or less all the time. The first half hour is solid madness that's not very nice to watch. (Barry's unexpected birth and dancing trip at the disco is almost physically uncomfortable). A strange film for an obscure and marginal audience. 6/10. (17.03.2021)
