At first, it seems clear that fungal spores are releasing and intentionally retaliating against humanity for crimes committed against nature- most notably evidenced in a brief moment where Barend shows apparent disdain for a plastic bag that floats through his foraging spot. The more Gabi gets to knew Barend and his son, the more their religion paints a more extensive, stranger picture unafraid to lean into yonic imagery. That’s before it gets truly psychedelic, building toward a strange, timely third act. The horror gets gnarly in places, and leans into some great but fleeting body horror moments. Mostly, though, Bouwer favors fantasy elements.
