South African horror movie 8 will arrive on Netflix later this month.
The movie directed by Harold Holscher saw its first premiere at Joburg Film Festival last year – and stars Tshamano Sebe, Inge Beckmann, Garth Breytenbach and Chris April.
Netflix has acquired the rights for the local original and will be available to stream on their platform from Friday, 19 June 2020.
8 tells the story of an unaccomplished William Ziel (Garth Breyetenbach) who returns to the farmhouse he inherited from his estranged father with his wife, Sarah (Inge Beckmann), and their adopted niece, Mary (Keita Luna).
Soon after moving in, they meet a mysterious local outcast Lazarus (Tshamano Sebe), who carries with him a dark secret that will put everyone at risk. Lazarus persuades William to hire him in spite of Sarah’s reservations and successfully forges a kindred bond with Mary, who, like him, still aches for her lost kin.
But among the locals, Lazarus is an unwelcome menace who carries a dark secret in his sack: a demon reincarnation of his deceased daughter with an insatiable appetite for human souls. In his pursuit to calm her nag, he facilitates several deaths and killings in the village, drawing the circle closer to the Ziel family.
