Welcome To The Jungle (2007) 5/10

Starring : Sandy Gardiner, Callard Harris, Nickolas Richey, Veronica Sywak
Director : Jonathan Hensleigh
Running Time : 83 mins

Two couples on holiday in Fiji decide to journey into the New Guinea wilderness in search of the heir to the Rockefeller fortune who disappeared in 1961. Stories claiming he may have been captured and eaten by cannibals start to scarily ring true when the group find themselves running for their lives from bow and arrow wielding natives.

Not to be confused with the 2003 action comedy starring The Rock, this is a bit of a stupid film with nothing happening for almost an hour, in a sort of Blair Witch shaky-cam style which is getting really old. You’d expect a movie about cannibals to have plenty of gruesomeness, but this has very little. Maybe that’s a good thing – not going overboard – but people who watch this based on the skeleton-filled movie poster will be in for a very disappointing time.
