The movie's only flaw is also a virtue: It's jammed with characters, stories, warmth and laughs.

The film creates a perfect balance between action and depth of basic needs, in the midst of an infertile atmosphere.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

This was a horrible movie, 1h20 and you get to see the monster for 3 seconds at the end. An absolute waste of time! Hand-held shaky camera throughout, OK, so its a genre, but it needs to have a purpose and this film had none. Suspense? None. Some background into the history surrounding the monster would have helped, but no, just a couple natives talking about werewolves. Looked more like a big foot. Acting was OK, but again, no where near the terror that the characters brought to life in Blair Witch. There ought to be some regulatory body that prevents some movies from being made. This review will never get published because the only thing worse than this movie is trying to publish a review on this crappy web site. It says I must have 10 lines, but hey, I can only wine so much. Give it a rest IMDb, I'm sure you are full of yourselves. Goodbye, and oh yeah, you can kill my account, please.

Good guy movie. You know how you watch a movie and the next day or week you forgot most of it? I saw this movie about six months ago and remember most of it. It grabs you. They did a lot for a low budget movie. If you are looking for an Oscar performance then what the f are you doing watching this movie. Guys will like it. It was made by the same guy who did Black Water and The Reef, both excellent movies. While I would give them a higher rating, this one was almost as good. Give it a shot. Man, I just wanted to write "good guy movie", but IMDb wants at least ten lines. Hope the last two were enough. Nope. Still have to write more about the movie. The wife was nice.

I'm not a lover of scary movies but I loved Andrew Traucki's earlier film with the crocodile - Black Water. The acting from the female lead in that was superb and the effects with the crocodile very realistic. This isn't as good but he is very good at suspense which builds slowly. Like David Strattan I also don't like hand-held camera work, but it does give the feeling of maneuvering through tight jungle spaces, so perhaps its use here is appropriate. The actors give good performances but the script could have been better developed. The horror genre is a difficult choice as Hollywood can afford bigger and better effects. I hope the writer /director will make more movies. I know it isn't easy to get finance as an independent. He has talent and should persist.

I'm all in favour of movies like Blair Witch Project with that "held camera" type of shooting.The jungle starts off as something that could have turned into a great low budget movie. Instead it goes on a downhill road from the very beginning.Starting with the main characters on their way to the jungle - without any actual detail of what the jungle looks like but a bunch of trees - as they dwell deeper all we get is the main character that comes across as persistent and egocentric guy trying to find A leopard... Even the fact that they bumped into the natives could've leave you guessing if you're going to find a secret cult or ritual.. but no. There is no actual development to the characters and as time goes by you'll find yourself looking at the time, wondering how much longer until it ends. After a "close encounter", 4 minutes before the movie finishes, we get a glimpse of what the creature looks like which is nothing but as what could be described as a hairy man with a wolf mask.. Something more plausible and appealing could've happened here... Not to mention that throughout the movie there is no actual scenes where this "hairy masked man" could be seen and all we get are branches braking and big roars.It leaves the viewers without nothing to expect and with an end feeling of the so called "deja vu" - seen it all before..
