TOKOLOSHE: where she goes, it follows.


On the promising side...
Did you see this? Did you hear about this?...

Apparently there's a local movie out called TOKOLOSHE. I heard this morning. Maybe I am ignorant... or it wasn't marketed well. Which is a shame too, because the trailer looks fresh. It's for the horror movie buffs.
A creaky door at night is always creepy. People with haunted house never lubricate the door hinges.
She's sleeping peacefully, when something crawls into bed... could it be Tokoloshe?
Yep. Tokoloshe has landed.
... and he's a hippy with blonde dreads.

This is how we describe Joburg... otherwise known as Sin City.
The nurse is a Tokoloshe encyclopedia. She scares the main character even before Tokoloshe himself makes an appearance.
And of course the halls in haunted houses experience perpetual load shedding.
Tokoloshe finally speaks. He is middle aged and Zulu. Here, he is trying to smooth talk a young, innocent kid... which is creepy on many levels. Enough levels for horror.
She breaks Tokoloshe's heart.
He doesn't take it well at all.
He gives the little girl an assignment, to keep her busy and stop doodling walls like a three year old.
The little girl warns the main character not to come close and tells her, explicitly, why.
But horror movie people got nerves of steel... or they stupid.
There's the title character right there, looking less scarier than I imagined... He was covered in glue and fell into some hay?
Of course the creepy blind guy always SEES more.

The little girl has disappeared. Guess who took her?
The main character must go look for her alone, at night, with no weapons... it's horror.
Does that mean she found her? I'm a bit confused.
But will running really help? Obviously Tokoloshe is a supernatural. You can run as fast as Bolt, Tokoloshe will walk the hall way in slo-mo like Jason...
... and still catch you.
"He walks 120km per hour"

The little girl might be a medium too... she hears dead people.

The trailer promises us a standard horror movie. With a boogeyman, a little innocent girl and great visuals. Let's hope the actual movie doesn't disappoint.

4.2/5

Sjava: Umama (music video)

Sjava has dropped visuals for his new song, titled Umama. It is a sweet song dedicated to moms and all the special things they do for us. Would it have been too cheesy to release it on Mother's Day? Umama is basically about how Sjava - even though he is an old man covered in beard, misses his mom. I think most can relate. Let me watch the music video and see what it is all about; Here is Sjava, sick of fans and fame, he just wants to see his mom. So he leaves. Sjava is the humble fella. He left his sports cars at his mansion. He is hitch hiking. ... not once ... ... but twice.  The guys at the back are laughing at this bearded celebrity, hitch hiking. Cows are a sign that he is close to home. He is about to see his Mama. His mom sees him from a distance. Sjava just stands there and lets his old mommy run to him. Mama thanks her ancestors for keeping Sjava safe and making him rich. Sjava is happy next to Mama again. I always wondered if ...

KO _ Supa Dupa

KO has released visuals for his new single, Supa Dupa. Let's watch and see what it's all about. First shot is getting us ready for dreamy, psychedelic shots.  That's KO there showing us that even when he was a kid, lying on the grass, he dreamt of stars and space.  Big dreams. He has bleached his hair.  Black paint on her, as if she not black enough. I don't understand what this running on a vinyl is all about. Maybe the girls chasing him because of his record or the FX department was just flexing their muscle. The themes of Supa Dupa are usual rap themes. Nothing ground breaking.  ... When he was down. ... We clowns used to kicks him. He used to dream about flashy cars. ... Now he is sitting on the bonnet with cupid on the driver's seat. This is KO on a bed. A bed is where most dreams occur.  He warns us about city snakes... but he's all cosy with a few.  ... "mirror mirror on the wall... who's the bla...
