Cortechba Overrated
Console best movie i've ever seen.
CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
jacobjohntaylor1 This movie is badly acted. The story line is awful. The ending is awful. It is very gross and not scary. It is very cheap. It is so cheap that it is found footage movie. And that is cheap. 4.4 is a good ratting. But this is such a bad movie 4.4 overrating it. I give 1. It is awful. I do not why people keep give it a 5. They most like being bored of grossed out. Do not see this awful movie. This is one of the worst horror movies of all time. I only give a 5 to the horror movies that are scary. If you are scared of this then you great scared of you own shadow. If you want to see a good horror movie see Psycho. Do not see this.
pesic-1 Stupid, irritating characters doing stupid, irritating things. There's the plot for you.The film is a bad rip-off of the countless found footage films that have been made in the wake of the Blair Witch success. Essentially this film is a combination of Blair Witch and Cannibal Holocaust. They forgot one thing, though: you can't have irritating characters the audience doesn't care about. Bad acting is one thing, but when the lines are horrible, then the film is doomed from the start.I cannot recommend this film even as a distraction. It is just plain dull and you will hope for the characters to die before they even get near the cannibals. In addition to that there are no genuine scares and the gore is quite unimpressive.
chaugnurfaugn-269-83012 American beauties Mandi and Colby and their party-animal friends, Mikey and Australian Bijou, head out to remote New Guinea in search of Michael Rockefeller who went missing in 1961, presumed dead. Sightings of a bearded old white man travelling with natives deep in uncharted territories have the intrepid foursome fired up, so off they go with little more than the most rudimentary understanding of the trouble they could get into.Much has been made of the similarities between this and Cannibal Holocaust or Blair Witch. I've seen Cannibal Holocaust and agree that there are similarities, not least one particular grizzly scene. But I don't necessarily agree that this renders the entire movie contemptible. What Cannibal Holocaust lacked (slick production values, a watchable cast and character development) Welcome to the Jungle provides. Other than the fact that this is a 'lost tape' genre, wherein the entire film plays out through the lens of a hand-held video camera, is the only thing that marks it out as comparable to Blair Witch. The lost tape genre is still a trope rather than a cliché and there are countless other examples that play more accurately to the original format (ie. hauntings, paranormal etc).Welcome to the Jungle scared me a lot more than Cannibal Holocaust, which, frankly, I just found disgusting. I'm not a hardcore fan of gore or shockers made for the sake of shocking, but felt I needed to watch CH simply because of the infamy of the film, the pride I take in knowing the horror genre inside out and being able to post knowledgeable reviews. I also watched Human Centipedes 1 and 2 for the same reason, but that's another story! There were a few issues. The end was confusing and a little too sudden. And there were several instances of 'horror movie victim mentality' wherein the cast behaved not as rational and terrified human beings in a perilous situation but as horror movie protagonists walking obligingly to their doom just so we can watch it happen. Otherwise, this was an enjoyable and nerve rattling ride. The juxtaposition of serious and dedicated Mandi/Colby vs hedonist joy-riders Bijou/Mikey was particularly horrifying to watch. I found myself firmly in the shoes of Colby, which was not a nice experience.Generally a more mainstream and viewer-friendly attempt at the cannibal horror and a brave mix of sub-genres.
Peter Grunbaum As some people have pointed out this is a mixture between Blair Witch and Cannibal Holocaust. I must say the central characters annoyed me a lot but that is a good thing in these kind of movies (for example, Friday the 13th) because then we do not get disturbed when something bad happens to them. But the really great thing about this movie is the make-up effects, that look amazing. I have no one idea how something like that is done. It's a bit like Paranormal Activity which also has annoying central characters but is extremely well done in terms of effects. I wonder when we will see a horror movie that has BOTH interesting central characters AND good special effects? I just thought some of the stuff in Welcome to the Jungle was a bit hilarious, and I had expected that. It looked extremely stupid with the cannibals "stalking" the central characters on their raft, and everything from Rambo 4 to Apocalypse Now came into mind. Anyway, as a horror movie, I thought this was extremely interesting, and it was nice to see the wonderful nature in Fiji and Papya New Guinea.
