The first South African horror film: title translates as Johnny Farewell.

I am asked a lot which is the scariest film I have ever seen and my answer always is this one.

The film is eerie, disturbing, horrifying, emotionally draining but pretty funny too.
We shall meet in the place where there is no darkness.

If this ever becomes available in the U.S. I'm sure you'll let us know. I'd like to see it someday.
I'll take you places the hand of man has not yet set foot...

More people should see this film: I once had a client from Scotland who viewed this and the earlier Die Kandidaat [The Candidate] which are mostly in Afrikaans: she said that while she couldn't understand a word of either of them, they were great films.
