He developed and nurtured a very special relationship with the Bushman as well as any of the actors in his movies. Everything in that movie is genuine and sincere, including the Bushman from the Kalahari.  You can read more about this from here.

Quote:n a post-apocalyptic world, Malorie Hayes advises two young, unnamed children that they will be going down a river in a rowboat. She sternly instructs them to not remove their blindfolds, or they will die. From this point, the film alternates between two stages of Malorie's story, separated by five years, until they conjoin: trying to navigate the river and the events that led to it.

Five years earlier, a pregnant Malorie is visited by her sister, Jessica. There is a news report on TV about unexplained mass suicides in Romania, quickly spreading across Europe. At a routine checkup at the hospital, Malorie sees a woman bashing her head into a window, then others panicking as chaos erupts. Jessica sees the entity, deliberately drives her car erratically, overturns it, and then she kills herself by walking in front of an oncoming truck.

As Malorie flees on foot, a woman invites her into a house for safety, even though her husband strongly protests. The woman sees the entity, goes into a trance, talks to her dead mother, and then sits inside a burning car, which quickly explodes. A passerby, Tom, picks up Malorie from the street, and they are let into the house, where about a dozen other people are taking shelter. One is a man employed by a grocery store, who theorizes that demonic entities have invaded Earth, driving people insane. The refugees in the house cover all the windows, and blindfold themselves whenever they go out. The house's owner offers to monitor the surveillance cameras to watch the entities indirectly, but he kills himself by violently smashing his own skull.

You're posting in a section of the Forum where you earn credit points. The topic of this discussion asks for movies to be recommended.  So when one recommends a movie you have to tell us what it is that you liked about the movie in your own words.   

Technically no one should earn points for copy paste that hasn't been put into quote tags.  As you're getting points that don't really belong to you.  Also, if there isn't a proper discussion that shows us that you've watched the movie/s and why you would recommend it to members of the Forum then it breaks our Forum Rules and will be deleted.

Please don't just copy and paste all the info of the movie.  We want to see in your own words why you recommend the movie, what the movie was about, and what it is you liked about it.  The recommend discussion should be posted right up in the first paragraph of your post.  You can then easily link the movie and the year of the movie to a Web page that has info about the movie.  

If you feel copy paste info is important, then PLEASE put it in quote tags, as technically that part of the post was not written by you.  You shouldn't be earning credit points for copy paste material that isn't your own writing.

This way we all unequivocally know which movie the poster is talking about and we also know all the info about it (including the genre, cast, plot etc...) from a trusted source + a score.

2- A personal take(/opinion) on that movie, which is the poster justification of why he's recommending it. Of course, this is the most important and, from experience, it can go from being well-thought-of to a highly subjective justification.

3- The most enthusiasts among us have to limit the number of titles to 5 per posts associated with their expected info.

Kikujiro / 1999 / Japan / 7.8 out of 10 Rating on IMDb
