Plot:  A woman's husband has disappeared on an expedition into the jungle. She hires a guide to take her into the jungle to find him. However, they discover that he has been captured by a savage female tribe.



My rating:  6.5/10

Will I watch it again?  Nah.


For an hour long, low budget jungle adventure picture, this one's not bad.  There's enough jungle action to keep you entertained, the actors do a better job than you'd expect, there's a little bit of humor sprinkled in (although I didn't find any of it all that funny), there's a small monkey doing small trained monkey things (big plus) and the final fight is high energy and exciting.  This film isn't trying to be anything more than entertaining for, probably, the younger audiences and I think it succeeds better than it should have.  It makes for a fun time killer on a lazy afternoon.  Watch the whole thing above.
