FRIED BARRY (full review at Screen Realm)

Fried Barry is writer/director Ryan Kuger’s feature-length expansion of his 2017 short film of the same name. The short film features Barry freaking out on heroin in a run-down warehouse and the feature runs with this idea by adding alien abduction to the mix.

Barry (Gary Green) is a drug addict and verbally abusive spouse and father. He is, to put it mildly, a thoroughly unpleasant individual. On his way home from shooting up heroin, Barry is drawn to a strange, red beam of light, wherein he is abducted by an alien spacecraft, subjected to experimentation and ultimately becomes the victim of an invasive extra-terrestrial possession.

Returned to the streets of Cape Town, Barry / the alien entity (we are never entirely sure which) stumbles from one bizarre interaction to another. Without even trying, Barry finds himself having sex with anything that moves and running into a wide variety of seedy lowlifes, unable to differentiate between a mind altering cosmic experience and a mind altering chemical one.
