This movie is so bad its actually fun to watch.


The tagline says "Predator meets Cannibal holocaust" it should really say "Predator meets Cannibal holocaust... and both get ripped-off". This "movie" is 90% predator and 10% cannibal holocaust. The thing is it wasn't just influenced those movies, it copies them almost entirely. The settings, characters, dialogue and actions are totally ripped off from those 2 films. I'm amazed this film even got a worldwide release. Its plagiarism at its worst. Practically the whole film was shot in a studio and often uses lame greenscreen backgrounds to compensate for the lack of real jungle setting. It looks like a bunch of buddies bought a camcorder and decided to make a jungle movie in their backyard. The acting is completely absent. The "actors" show no emotions whatsoever. Their whole aim, it seems, is too look as hardcore as they possibly can. There's unnecessary animal violence (a pig gets slaughtered) which is even more pointless because its been done before and better in CH.

But all those things plus the extremely lame acting add up to a fun experience. I haven't laughed this much during a movie for quite a while. The film is great because its geniunely bad and if you've seen predator and CH there'll be plenty of nostalgic moments in which you'll be going "oh yeah, i remember that! ahahaha! i can't believe they ripped that off!" Its a laugh-a-minute affair. Take note of the excellent tribal warpaint (pink circles). DON'T BUY this movie for god's sake! I've seen it on TV a couple of times and I'm glad I don't have it in my movie collection.

I thought this movie was awesome, it had everything a good Italian exploit movie needs. If you want to see a real ripoff of CH then go watch Bruno's other cannibal movie Mondo Cannibale, which is a 100% ripoff of CH.
