Storyline

Anthropologists take a trip to the jungles of Colombia to study native cannibals. Instead, they find a band of drug dealers, using the natives to harvest coca leaves. After awhile, the natives are tired of being tortured slaves, and turn on their masters, as well as the anthropologists, thus filling the screen with gruesome splatter! Written by Humberto Amador

Trivia

My sweet Lord
8 July 2003 | by – See all my reviews

This was, hands down, the dumbest movie I have ever seen. I can't believe I wasted my time. Unable to get "Cannibal Holocaust", which I felt I needed to see for myself, I settled for this one. What a mistake. This movie doesn't do anything. Seems like all they do is walk around for the most part, and the gore is ludicrous. Hurting and killing the animals was pathetic and did nothing for the movie except make it worse. Don't see this.
