best movie i've ever seen.
It’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
Blistering performances.
Yes, absolutely, there is fun to be had, as well as many, many things to go boom, all amid an atmospheric urban jungle.
Man these people deal with death so well. People are dropping like flies and they just move on to the next site. It is truly an amazingly terrible picture! The fight scenes were awful. Also, like the other comment, if you like hearing the horrible deaths, then you will love it. I am truly disappointed in this film. How it is considered a horror pic is amazing enough. One Porter gets killed by a Crocodile, but I am so sure the crocodile is very small just with a close up camera shot. A lady dies while swimming with no reason given. Its one mistake after another. It started with like 30 people on the expedition, only two make it. Can someone please tell me what happened to all the other people. The editing is so bad people are apparating(harry potter) all over the place....lol
What's the first thing that comes into your mind after hearing the title from an early 80's movie called "Horror Safari"? You bet it's an slasher flick that involves animals or cannibals after the craze from the 70's involving sharks, apes, cannibals, etc. Well "Horror Safari" is a mix of semi-exploitation scenes (involving decaps, impales, etc.), and the typical but cheap adventure scenes."Horror Safari" doesn't deserves a chance to be watched. It's a cheap, mediocre, slow flick that shouldn't be even aired on late night cable. Though there's some gore that doesn't makes up for the rest of the movie that is truly painful to watch. If the movie tried to copy the spectacular "Raiders Of The Lost Ark" it failed miserably on every aspect. Please avoid this safari because it's not fun, you don't learn, and worst of all, it's not even a decent horror b-movie.
The Philippines, 1945. Japanese troops escorting a gold shipment are ambushed by headhunting natives. Most of the soldiers are killed, but not before they manage to hide the gold in a cave. Three officers survive. Thirty-six years later, Rex Larson (Purdom) is hunting for the lost fortune. He recruits one of the surviving officers and has his financial backer help arrange for an expedition. The lead guide is Mark Forrest (Whitman) who helps arrange for assistance in the Philippines. Once in the wilderness, the group must contend with the elements, treachery, and murder. Billed as a cannibal film at my local video store, it does not qualify as such. It is definitely inspired by the Indiana Jones flicks, but is much more conventional. The film had many of the elements necessary for success including a strong cast. Woody Strode is a welcome presence, but is largely wasted. I came away with the impression that the filmmakers were simply manufacturing a movie for a quick release rather than making a genuine effort to entertain. While it likely wouldn't have become a blockbuster or anything akin to a classic, it could have been far better with only minimal script changes and perhaps a more firm directorial hand. Or not.
Yes this started out with a promise of being a rather good adventure outing. With in the first 5 minutes a head hunting tribe against Japanese Army showdown begins resulting in a lot of gore and bloodshed.Then it just degenerates further and further into large plot holes, bad acting and terrible editing for effects shots.This movie was enjoyable as a novelty for the first 2/3, then became a chore there after till the convoluted and "you guessed right" ending.
