Featured reviews
Not sure if this could be classified as horror, but it certainly got me on the edge of my seat. I've been out in the bush a fair bit and can say that this is all very realistic. Hallucination is very real in the wild, and so is not being able to get quality sleep and your socks getting stuck to your feet due to dried up blisters and foot rot. Ouch.
Great performance from Radcliffe. Good enough for me to have totally forgotten that he was once Harry Potter.
The ending was a little sad. I can only imagine how I would feel if I were in his position.

I knew nothing about this one, even the synopsis wasn't anything really eye-catching. I don't think I'd even heard anyone talk about this one yet. But, I noticed it was new on Amazon Prime, so I figured what the hell, might be worth checking out.
I'm happy to say I enjoyed the hell out of this. It's a very slow moving story, but very well shot, the acting is fantastic and it sucks you right in. Come to find out this is based on a true story, which makes it that much more interesting. Love it when you find something like this that you have zero expectations about and end up enjoying it. Daniel Radcliffe turns in a fantastic performance as Yossi. His performance really takes you through the emotions the character's going through. It was one of the biggest things that stood out to me in this film.
While the film does have some issues, it takes a bit to get going and I feel like some time could have been cut out of the last half of the film, it's damn solid overall. I'm glad I gave this one a chance. While this movie certainly won't be for everyone, if you're in the mood for a good story, give this one a chance and check it out.

Young guys seeking adventure trek into South American jungle as if it were a tourist destination. They are clueless and have no survival skills. You can fill in the blanks from there. Still, if you like survival movies -- as I do -- this is worth a look. High production values and credible acting. I enjoyed the ride.
I enjoyed this one. I'm a huge fan of survival and adventure movies and while this one wasn't 'amazing' I liked it. I will be reading one of Yhossi's books on this life event
Remind me never to go trekking in the Amazonian jungle with nothing but a random guide. True stories always hit harder than fiction. There really are some terrible people in the world and in the same movie, some people with amazing survival skills. I wouldn't have lasted the first night.

- TriviaIt would have been impossible for McLean to condense all of Ghinsberg's trials into one movie, which unfortunately left out:
- When Ghinsberg woke up covered in leeches.
- When Ghinsberg slipped down a slope and impaled his rectum on a broken stick.
- When Ghinsberg woke up to find a swarm of termites eating patches of his skin where he'd urinated on himself.
- GoofsThe snake that lunges at Yossi as he climbs the tree is a fanged venomous snake. However, the snake that he throws to the ground is a constrictor.

Yossi Ghinsberg: I told my parents I'd be back in a year, but I don't think I'm ever going back.
