Netflix's new thriller Apex, starring Charlize Theron, puts a twist on survival horror. Despite its setting in the beautiful- yet-dangerous Australian wilderness, Apex is not a movie about man vs. nature. Instead, it’s woman vs. man.

Like many things, like animals and people, they always evolve. When the first humans walked the Earth, they originated from Africa and were all black.

This short film was an overall creative success.
