Step into the wild, where the illusion of human dominance crumbles in what artist Hugh Hayden calls “the forest of changing shapes.” Inspired by Hayden’s evocative work, the Forest of Changing Shapes Film Series dares you to experience nature’s defiance through the eerie, unsettling lens of horror. This spine-chilling four-part series—presented by the Rose Art Museum and curated by Brandeis Professor Brandon Callendar—unmasks nature’s relentless, ever-shifting resistance, forcing us to confront the fragile, often uneasy bond between humanity and the untamed world.
John McTiernan’s 1987 classic Predator, starring Arnold Schwarzenegger, delivers an adrenaline-charged battle for survival as a team of soldiers faces off against nature’s ultimate hunter—an unseen alien predator stalking them in the jungle.
