Greetings from Lithuania.I'm sucker for flicks like "Indigenous" (2014). I watch tons of them, and while this one doesn't contain anything fresh or original or very well made, it's still worth a look if you have nothing else to watch. First 30 min. were pretty good, but lack of any character development creates a problem later when didn't give a damn who will survive. Settings were pretty good. Monster itself looked pretty good too. And the whole social media spin later was kinda fresh.Overall, as you can see, "Indigenous" in a watchable flick, better then 4.4 rating suggests. It is maximum 6/10 (because i'm a fan of these flicks) - if you skip it, you won't loose anything, if you see it, you won't see anything special, but it is watchable.

Traveling to Panama together, a group of friends are talked into visiting a mysterious waterfall deep in the jungle only to discover the native folklore of a deadly creature living there is true and must find a way of stopping the creature to get out alive.This one wasn't all that bad but certainly does have some major problems about it. One of the film's biggest problems here is the actual handling of the build-up of the group getting to the main gist of the film which is supposed to be them stranded in the jungle with the creature. Here, it's way too much time of them screwing around with the locals and hanging out doing nothing but ragging on each other that it really starts to get aggravating waiting around for them to get going. It takes up so much time that there's never any real interest gleaned from these segments which just go on for so long that it really starts to wane the interest level in the beginning of this one. The fact that this one really relies on so much time here ripping off other movies that most of what happens here isn't that original or creative and leads to so many portions of the movie that are just cheaply- done imitations of other scenes from other films out there where it takes this one into really familiar territory as scenes of them lurking in the jungle or exploring the area. As well, there's even the feeling later on in the final twenty minutes of this one changing tone for the worst as it inexplicably turns into a more epic worldwide feel with the social media around the world that really takes out a lot of steam at the wrong moment. This is quite a downer of an ending that really doesn't have too much to do with the film as a whole, really helping to lower this one as well. There's a few solid points that works here. This one works quite a lot of mileage out of the location utilized here, with the rather scenic location given a nice look here that makes this one quite creepy as they walk through the jungle. That helps the big scenes in the later half when they start getting attacked by the creature which is quite fun here when this one generates some really decent ambushes. That leads to a few decent moments that generates the appropriate amount of fear and chaos that comes about from their attacks as it winds through the later stages here as it really comes off rather nicely. The creature itself looks great when we get to see it, but overall it's not enough to really help this one.Rated R: Graphic Violence, Graphic Language and Brief Nudity.

There are a lot of positives about this film; specifically the way its shot and written, especially in its initial tease of being a found footage film before abandoning that idea, while holding onto some aspects of modern social media to move the plot forward.This film is smart, but perhaps a little too smart for its own good as it ends up cramming in a lot of what it wants its audience to see and understand without much signposting, which can lead to some confusion and overall apathy towards the characters. For instance the film seems to want you to really care that one character owns a restaurant, but I am still not really sure why. It is reminiscent of DeadMary, another smartly written film with a great concept, but takes too long showing you characters to try to make you identify with them and care about what happens to them, whilst somehow not managing to achieve this aim. Instead what could have been laid out in a couple of short and simple scenes in the first five minutes takes around half an hour and by then you have given up actually trying to remember who these people are and what their relationships are to each other.Overall though this is an enjoyable, if slow starting, monster flick that attempts to play with its audience, to at least some success, and is definitely worth a watch for any fan of modern horror.

I don't want to use the term amateur because that would be disrespectful to good amateur films. This movie is horrible. I won't bother writing the plot because it has been done and just want to get straight to the point. This is extremely cookie cutter. It's as if the director took a 5$ class on horror films from fiverr.com from some horror junkie who writes fanfics on the nosleep subreddit. Starts out with "party" music blaring every 5 seconds to show that the group is happy and young and totally not about to get into some stuff. There is a mediocre sob story of how 1 guy doesn't want to live at home again because college loans etc. are weighing him down. So this is the last hurrah! Awesome right?! No. That has been beaten to death. Just like the director should be. They go into the spooky jungle and indigenous people try to kill them. Some escape and see the news report blah blah blah...it really is one of the worst horror films I have ever seen. It has to be tied for last place with fear.com. Don't bother. Trust me, go make your own horror film with your cell phone in your backyard and it will be better.
