Low budget doesn't even begin to COVER how bad this movie is. The opening sequence with the 'nature documentary narration' was cute. It would've been quite effective, had this been a campy comedy. Unfortunately, the film takes itself waaaaay to seriously. Begin with the horrible opening music. The soundtrack sounded like a bunch of power tools being banged together with handsaws and socket wrenches. The 'host' with his FAKE Australian accent was too annoying for words. It seemed like he was trying to channel Steve Irwin, which was a slap in the face to the Irwin family. He was hammy and overacted every line of dialogue he had. Even his SENSITIVE moment by the fire, talking about the plane crash, was overdone.
The 'assistant', who was brought along to be a 'step and fetchit' for the producer, was bland and one-note with every line she delivered. There was absolutely NO inflection in her voice whatsoever. She sounded like she was reading a pizza menu, for f***s sake.
The 'feral' girl they found was terrible. I was a performer in a traveling carnival show for a little while one summer. I volunteered to be 'Zoma the Wild Girl'. I had to act like a savage, and let me tell you, I scared the bejeezus out of the customers with my act. This girl couldn't scare a friggin mouse. She was too clean and too neat to have been living in the woods for as long as they say she did. In fact, all of the 'cannibals' were a little too neatly pressed.
Segue to the tavern, where everyone was enjoying a pint. The exterior, where the producer and the tracker were attempting to 'flirt' with each other. It reminded me painfully of a seriously badly acted porno, it was that clumsy and uncomfortable.
The dialogue was wretched. Overall, there was nothing to like about this film. And it doesn't even really QUALIFY as a 'found footage film', as the majority of it was shot from a third person perspective.
