Blackfoot Nation Films has created a new indigenous Canadian Horror-Comedy Anthology series “Tales from the Rez” which breathes life into popular Blackfoot urban legends. Each episode is introduced by crusty Uncle Randolph (Charles Duck Chief) an Elder with one foot in the living world and the other in the spirit world. Each episode blends humour and spine-chilling suspense to offer a twist on age-old tales. The initial season takes place in the traditional territories of the Blackfoot confederacy also known as Southern Alberta, Treaty 7. The series started streaming on APTNlumi on 20October2023.
In “Giddy Goat” Cecil (Nathan Alexis) is a rotund man smoking and drinking up a storm. He is friends with a meat-eating Satyr named Gordon (Cody Lightning). Gordon has an appetite and has a penchant for eating cats but occasionally when pickings are lean he enjoys a tasty mouse sandwich. He also has a taste for human flesh. Gordon and Cecil spend a good amount of time in Cecil’s kitchen with talk of hot women and pets as possible meals for Gordon while he checks his mobile for some possible tasty dish.
Off Gordon and Cecil go to a Halloween party where Gordon’s hoofs and horns won’t be noticed. But Gordon becomes giddy with a “hot babe” and her cat. His appetite gets the best of him.
More humour than horror in “Giddy Goat” but creativity and the unusual abound.
