Karry Best movie of this year hands down!
ShangLuda Admirable film.
pointyfilippa The movie runs out of plot and jokes well before the end of a two-hour running time, long for a light comedy.
Ortiz Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.
pesic-1 Stupid, irritating characters doing stupid, irritating things. There's the plot for you.The film is a bad rip-off of the countless found footage films that have been made in the wake of the Blair Witch success. Essentially this film is a combination of Blair Witch and Cannibal Holocaust. They forgot one thing, though: you can't have irritating characters the audience doesn't care about. Bad acting is one thing, but when the lines are horrible, then the film is doomed from the start.I cannot recommend this film even as a distraction. It is just plain dull and you will hope for the characters to die before they even get near the cannibals. In addition to that there are no genuine scares and the gore is quite unimpressive.
mrush I thought this movie was gonna be good.It starts out at least looking a bit promising but then just when it finally gets to some good stuff it ends leaving you feeling unsatisfied and kind of mad.And let me add that this movie has absolutely nothing to do with Guns N Roses.2 couples set out to find the missing Michael Rockefeller ,who disappeared into the jungles of New Guinea in 1961 and was never heard from again.A rumor from a bush pilot sends the four out into the jungle to find Rockefeller and get rich and famous doing it.After one of the four steals some bones from a burial site the local natives get ticked off.But they might have anyway,who knows? This movie has nothing original to offer.We've seen the cannibal movies before and we've seen the shaky hand held movie documentary style filming before.My question with these supposed self shot movies is would a person really keep filming even after they realize their life is in danger ?Really? You gonna keep the camera light on out in the middle of the jungle at night with headhunters all around?I kinda think I'm gonna shut it off and hide like the sniveling coward I am.Anyway the movie goes along fine and then all of a sudden it's sort of wraps up all quick like and the credits roll.Did you boys run out of money or did you get tired of filming out in the hot jungle?It just abruptly quits before any good gore or terror gets going.Some night time quick glimpses of some gore is about it.No nudity at all even though you got 4 hot young folks out in the middle of nowhere taking swims and sunbathing and stuff like that.I can't recommend this movie ,it just never delivers on it's promise of terror and gore.
Pietruck This must be one of the worst and most annoying mockumentaries ever made....Follow 4 pampered twenty nothings as they quest to find another well to do never was former twenty nothing from 1961 rumored to be in the jungles of New Guinea after crashing off its coast 35 years earlier (or so the premise goes). On their stereotypical shallow "mis"adventure, you have your gun toting towny bandits, your angry bitter meaninglessly antagonizable militia, your sacred burial grounds complete with skulls and dress up skeletons, your creepy random forest dwelling Aussie guy appearing from and disappearing to nowhere warning the characters about said skulls and skeletons, your loin clothed flesh hungry forest locals outfitted with spears, body paint, and bows, and, oh yeah, the best part, your make shift rafts materializing out of nowhere made with no supplies yet seaworthy enough to float them down a river (that looks like a creek in Montana).....Ultimately, the dialog makes no sense and was often difficult to hear (which was a good thing considering the parts you can hear). The "home" video camera stylings fall apart almost immediately and watching becomes a chore. It was understood that this was low low low budget movie, but this was an absolute horror to watch.Don't say I didn't warn you!
HumanoidOfFlesh "Welcome to the Jungle" tells the story of four spoiled and obnoxious Americans who set out into the jungles of New Guinea armed with a few digital cameras to find the missing Michael Rockefeller and make themselves rich by getting an exclusive interview with him. Of course they are captured and killed by the tribe of savages.I must admit that the story is fairly convincing and the location sets provide some spooky atmosphere,but the characters are dumb and annoying.I really wanted them to suffer painful death just not to listen their constant whining.Almost complete lack of gore and nudity is very disappointing.While Jonathan Hensleigh has denied that his film has anything to do with Ruggero Deodato's infamous "Cannibal Holocaust" the similarities are obvious(check out the girl impaled on bamboo stick).There are a couple of moments where the graphic special effects are actually done quite well,but the inane dialogue and my general hatred for half the cast reduced my enjoyment.Better watch "Cannibal Holocaust","Eaten Alive" or "Jungle Holocaust" again.
