A team of doctors ventures deep into the Amazon rainforest on a humanitarian mission. Their noble intentions are put to the test when their presence attracts the attention of something ancient, monstrous and fiercely territorial. The jungle plays by its own rules, and the team soon discovers that humans are not always at the top of the food chain. A ruthless fight for survival begins, with the creature holding a decisive advantage.
“Beware Boiúna” is a full-blooded creature feature that blends survival thriller, horror and action with the exotic setting of the Amazon rainforest and the mythology of South America. Mike P. Nelson’s film taps into one of horror cinema’s oldest fears: coming face to face with a powerful predator that cannot be tamed or predicted. Here, nature is a character in its own right. “Beware Boiúna” draws on the classic tradition of monster movies, but places its story in a setting where humans have always been the intruders.
Behind the camera is Mike P. Nelson, the director of the new “Wrong Turn”, who brings the classic story of humanity’s struggle against nature into the realm of contemporary genre cinema. “Beware Boiúna” is an international US-German production, filmed deep in the Amazon rainforest in Colombia.
