KEEPER OF THE REALM is an interesting and quirky little Mexican horror film set in the remote jungle. The story has a bunch of characters coming into possession of an ancient statue and deciding to claim it for their own, only to suffer from mental illness brought about by privations and the threat of a native curse. This film is stylistically similar to others like THE RUINS and there's the occasional feel of AGUIRRE, WRATH OF GOD about it too. The budget is too low for many effects scenes, but the unknown cast are up to the job and the events portrayed are realistic if predictable. There's certainly enough conflict here to make the slightly overlong running time go flying past.
