Can someone please introduce the natives to Roundup herbicide? I found myself itching (pardon the pun) to find our tube of Calamine Lotion during this film.
Other than being really impressed with how well they pulled off the special effects regarding severed limbs, etc., I was so not impressed with this film. From the bogus German accent of Mathias, to the very bad acting, to the pitiful vining 'villian,' this film stank.
Frankly, the special features were more entertaining than the feature. I have not read the book, but after viewing the movie I am almost afraid to do so. I think that it would've definitely have helped the story a bit to have had an 'insider' explain to the characters what had happened there, what the beliefs of the natives were in regard to this place, the vines, etc. Since it ended the way it did, I am assuming there might be a sequel. I shudder at the suggestion.
