 As a Oui Magazine photo shoot it isn't half bad: plenty of topless girls wandering about a jungle landscape. Unfortunately it also makes for a tremendously dull movie. Going into this I was expecting Jess Franco to make his own version of "Cannibal Holocaust" or one of the similar cannibal movies, only with more nudity and less animal killing; but instead we get this aimless movie of a bunch of people wandering the jungle planning on killing our female Tarzan wannabe when they find her and some unhappy natives who think they are after their collection of geodes that serve as "diamonds". I was hoping for something a little sleazier and more violent than what I got, and that is probably something I should mention to a psychologist, but for Jess Franco fans this is not one of his better "achievements". It's like he and the entire cast sleepwalked through 90 minutes of a movie. |
