Aliens are here and they want to PARTY! Cross between ‘Men In Black’ (1997) and ‘Train Spotting’ (1996) with a dash of ‘Forrest Gump’ (1994) thrown in. This is a crazy movie that’s going its own way. And Barry is possessed to party.
Barry is a small-time hustler, big time drug user with little use for his family. The Aliens have no clue what hustling is, they love partying, and weirdly have plenty of “use” for his family. Really like probing humans, but one can only do that for so many hours of the day. Maybe the probing machine needs to be recalibrated, recertified for high precision probing. You know after all those probing accidents in the 50’s and people remembering in the 80’s. If the probing machine gets too hot, bad things happen.
Barry is played by Gary Green, in his first staring role. And I believe! An alien walking around in a meat suite. Seeing everything for the first time. New to the world. Each corner brings fresh strange happenings. Without social norms or restrictions. Just Peter Cotton Tail following his nose, in the red-light district with a dealer on every corner, good times.
Filmed in South Africa for 1,000 Rand (fifty-seven US Dollars) shows once again a good director doesn’t need Hollywood and Hollywood makes crap! Ryan Kruger has numerous acting credits, best known for Blood Shot (2020). Apparently also South African hottest music video director.
Fried Barry is not for the weak, not for the smart either.
Seeing an alien reproduce is something you can’t stop thinking about. Even when
you want to, trying to eat a meatball Hot Pocket, trying to sleep, in the
middle of the night……
