Review of Welcome to the Jungle (2007) by Peter H — 01 Nov 2009

According to Wikipedia and History, In 1961 Michael Rockefeller went missing in the jungles of New Guinea. According to this film, New Guinea is the second most dangerous place on the planet, outside of Iraq. I don?t know if that?s true or not.

You know Cannibals live in the jungle? Amongst Horror fans, every film from ?The Blair Witch Project? to ?Cloverfield? to the recent ?Paranormal Activity?, all get compared to ?Cannibal Holocaust.? Which is why this film, is the only one that matters. ?Welcome to the Jungle? is like a tamed version of ?Cannibal Holocaust.? So, DO NOT watch ?Cannibal Holocaust? if you can?t take this.

Dimension Extreme?s line of Horror films has put out a few duds, but this is a gem. Two very different vacationing-couples, get a tip on the location of a man who might be Michael Rockefeller. Well you know we got to go search for him. Shot with a Canon XL2 (The same camera ?28 Days Later? was shot with), Director Jonathan Hensleigh takes the whole ?shaky-cam,? ?this film is being shot by the characters style,? to a whole new level.
