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.

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!

I sat down and watched this atrocity of a film the other day, and I was utterly disappointed. Many people have praised this movie, and when I watched it, all I could think of was "Cannibal Holocaust". Hell, from the opening scenes, the camcorder approach was identical, even before the guys and girls went into the jungle where the copy gets even more pronounced. I was especially perturbed by the impaled woman that was present in both films, but was used much more effectively in the 1970's Cannibal Holocaust than in this pile of crap.While the unfortunate use of live animals in Cannibal Holocaust is horrible and should never be repeated, the overall impact of that film cannot be denied. That film gets a 7 out of 10, while this one gets a generous 3. Save your money and buy Blue Underground's DVD of Cannibal Holocaust, that way you can watch the original with the animal bits removed instead of a mediocre re-make.

I think it was actually quite a good film. I think it's all too easy for people to think, "This is crap - it's like Cannibal Hollocause without the gore" because it never said it was going to be like that. The entire film is filmed on two video cameras (like that of 'Blair Witch'. If you start watching the film not knowing this, you think, "Oh, it's going to be crap," but actually, if you give it a chance, it's actually quite good. Granted, you don't see any of the gore (except for the odd foot or dismembered limb!) as it's all off screen, but the film is quite realistic. The video camera obviously wouldn't see everything because when you're being dragged off to be decapitated, you would usually take the camera with you?! So basically, two couples decide to find out where Michael Rockerfellar disappeared to in the 60's. They fall out - one couple nick a raft and go their own way. They find natives are following them, armed with bows and arrows. They get hit with arrows and are taken off to be tonight's dinner. Next couple follow en route with a raft they've made and find the remains of their friend. They hear the screaming of their other (obviously alive) friend and foolish, follow it. They escape narrowly, just in reach of the sea but are seen by another native. They surrender and are sat down to dinner but then realise everyone's suddenly disappeared. Yup, they're tonight's dinner! 7/10 is my verdict :)
