midnighttimothy This was an all around enjoyable movie to watch. Many of the other reviews say that the film was slow to get to the action and suspense. While this is somewhat true, the beginning allows you to get to know the characters a bit and have a connection with them before anything scary happens. The action and suspense scenes were well written and the acting was excellent throughout the entire film. The special effects were also very good for being a lower budget movie. I would highly recommend this move to anyone who enjoys creature horror/thriller movies.

Arun George The one thing that instills excitement is the magnificent-looking Panamanian forest locale. The characters are thoroughly one-note and utter some of the crappiest dialogue you'll ever hear. The lead male character even passes a smug-grin (or something similar!) during a pretty dire situation.The film, directed by Alastair Orr, takes quite a bit of time before it embraces its horror conception. The first forty minutes is merely tourism advertising for the country. Not one character amongst the "group of friends" exhibit any subtlety to make them stand out, or get the viewer to empathize. All the essentials have been ticked off: a happy intimate couple, a couple that's going through a rough patch and the playboy who hooks up with a local. This group seems to have really horrible decision-making skills too. When the chupacabra begins to hunt them down, they decide to "head for higher ground", while making a run towards their vehicle would have made more sense. The lead male character ventures into the cave of the supposed monster all by himself with a flickering torchlight and catches a good view of the beast devouring human flesh before he decides to run off. While the social media angle was a welcome diversion, the final act seemed too far-fetched. The creature looked ghastly: some not-bad make-up work on the features! Camera-work is fine while capturing the rich natural essence of Panama but shaky during those scenes which are supposed to induce terror. This movie is likely to be compared with Neil Marshall's 'The Descent' for its similar looking flesh-eating monster, but sans great story- telling and claustrophobic dread. One does feel that the director could've utilized the dense forest setting to his advantage but 'Indigenous' ends up an average fare.Verdict: A B-movie with very little genre-thrills!

aronharde The movie "Indigenous" is about a couple of teenagers, that want to have a great time in Panama. One of the teenagers finds a video of people getting attacked in the jungle so he decides to make a trip in the jungle with his friends. But what they don't know is, that there is a mysterious creature in the jungle. After one of the members disappears, they soon realize that they are getting hunted. I was very curious about this low budget horror movie. New actors, an unknown director and a very interesting story. I love creature horror movies so I had to watch this one. One interesting fact is, that there are no CGI effects, only practical ones. In the End many people will say that Indigenous has imitated "The Descent" but for me it was an interesting movie, so if you are also a fan of creature horror movies you should definitely check out Indigenous!

superslyedits (Spoiler alert) So, this was (in my opinion) a great movie, taking into account the low standards I had for it. It doesn't start off too strong, presenting us with many horror clichés from different movies. What it lacks in horror, it makes up for in suspense! The 2nd half of the movie replenishes its own glory and self-respect with an awesome twist, which I did NOT see coming, at all. If you are a horror movie buff and you love scares, this movie might not be for you (although, I am a horror movie buff and I loved it). But, if you love horror, monster movies, and awesome endings (OR if you're living and breathing and like movies) I'd highly recommend it to you! It's an awesome watch.REMINDER: Don't watch the first 45 minutes and then turn it off because you think nothing else will happen. You need to watch the whole thing. :)
