[PRESS OFFICE] The Showmax Original DAM, a small-town psychological thriller set in the Eastern Cape, is now available to binge.
Early reviews are glowing, with YFM’s resident critic Yazz the Student comparing
DAM to HBO’s
The Outsider and saying the “eerie” and “unsettling” show feels “different to the South African television landscape.”
Fortress of Solitude similarly calls
DAM “South Africa’s answer to
Sharp Objects and
The Outsider.” Reviewer Sergio Pereira praises
DAM’s “outstanding production quality… It rivals any international production, and actually looks better than most of the Netflix shows that dominate the Top 10 list,” adding, “More importantly, the cast delivers an equally exceptional performance to rival the production quality and script. They suck you into this small town’s drama, as you fall in love with some, pity others, and detest only a few… You’d be a fool to sleep on this eight-part miniseries. It’s simply a must-watch show that promises to fester in your mind long after the credits roll.”
Silwerskerm Best Actress winner Lea Vivier (
Wonderlus, The Day We Didn’t Meet) is the lead in the new Showmax Original
DAM, a small-town psychological thriller from four-time SAFTA winner Alex Yazbek that’s now streaming.
In
DAM, Lea stars as Yola Fischer, who returns from Chile to a small town in the Eastern Cape to bury her estranged father. She discovers he’s left his farm to her, to the irritation of her sister, Sienna
. But it turns out that this may be more of a curse than a blessing, as the house seems to be trying to tell her something. With her mother institutionalised and her own meds running out, Yola has to wonder: are the spirits real, or just in her head?
five of the newly released movies and TV series of 2021, that we recommend as a must-watch! 1.
Looking for a romance movie, that’s slow, almost cliche՛ but with a twist, then this is for you.
The Day We Didn’t Meet follows the story of one-time lovers Sam and Alex, who reunite by chance. Or could it be fate giving them a second chance at love?
The couple turn their reunion into a game of make-believe, until they are pretending they are an old married couple. Unfortunately, it doesn’t take too long before their fabricated fantasy proves to be unable to withstand what reality throws at them. Watch it on Showmax.
