million dollar budget? are you sure it wasn't more like a 1,000 and shot in somebody's backyard not a movie studio?I watched this film in the early morning hours one day when I try to catch horror movies that don't get shown in prime time because many of my favourites are movies that get lower than deserved scores from critics who don't appreciate good horror movies.This one on the other hand seems more like a student movie that was filmed in a back yard than a professional film. Hiding the enemy in the dark or in the forest cover so you only hear them before they strike can be useful if not overdone but when that is constant it make you wonder if it is an excuse to avoid using special effects.also means that whatever tension did build begins to dissipate.there is no real sympathy developed for the characters so why are we supposed to care if they become a meal for whatever it is that lives there ...who are kept separated from the rest of the world by ...the Roman Catholic church who is out to get everyone the stone age lost tribe misses.although I thought it was a tribe of people who run around in bad gorilla suits.

I didn't go in expecting much. But I kept it on in the background while I was having fun with my girlfriend. I don't know about these other reviewers. But for me...the experience of watching this movie left me satisfied. I just finished watching it and I think it was about aborigine's in the jungle. There isn't enough Cannibal Tribe movies out there but this was the best of it's kind. The characters, the story and most of all this awesome Director all got me perfectly invested in the movie. If you like movies about people being shipwrecked on an island with creepy jungles and Cannibals then this movie fits that description and does it perfectly well. I think this movie is terribly underrated and I recommend you give it a chance.

I did actually think The Lost Tribe would be sort of fun, due to its idea. But I didn't like the film very much. There are redeeming values and they were that it was beautifully shot, Emily Foxler is quite likable and although they're underused the creatures do have some menace to them. Otherwise, the story is unoriginal, all too similar to Predator and The Forgotten Ones, and is not helped by dull pacing and a ridiculous subplot involving a Catholic Priest. The script is unfocused and cheesy especially with Brianna Brown, with not enough mystery or character development, the characters I didn't care for at all either finding them stock or unnecessary. There are some scenes that were poorly done due to either bad acting or direction, I am especially talking about the scene on the beach which also had inconsistent continuity and the unintentionally funny scene in the cave. The climax was decent though, it just came too late to care. The acting is nothing to write home about, Foxler I liked, but Brianna Brown is wasted with some of the worst material of the movie and Lance Henrikssen tries hard but the unnecessary character and ridiculous subplot spoils things significantly. All in all, an unoriginal and dull movie, not an abomination but should have been much more. 3/10 Bethany Cox

While navigating with his girlfriend Alexis (Brianna Brown) and his partners and friends Chris (Hadley Fraser) and Tom (Nick Mennell) and his girlfriend Anna (Emily Foxler) to a close a Broadband Internet access business in Asia in the motor pleasure yacht of Joe (Marc Bacher), they rescue a wounded drowned man in shock. During the night, the stranger overrides the automatic pilot and steers the vessel to change the direction; however he accidentally wrecks on a rock and the vessel sinks. The castaways reach a beach in an island and they try to contact the coast-guard through the radio. However, during the night, the body of the stranger vanishes from the grave and then Tom also disappears. The group decides to seek-out Tom and sooner they find that the wild jungle has hostile inhabitants that hunt in pack and the survivors are the prey."The Lost Tribe" is a remake of the weak "The Forgotten Ones", with the same storyline, a better development of the castaways and a ridiculous sub-plot of a priest (Lance Henriksen) that seems to be inspired in "Rambo" that kills a group of researchers to avoid them to release information about the discovery of the missing link in human evolution. Despite having no religion, I hate this sort of disrespectful campaign against the Catholic Church promoted by some filmmakers in the cinema industry with obscure intentions. The plot is flawed and there is no development of the key character performed by the decadent Lance Henriksen. The beautiful and sexy Brianna Brown is totally wasted in a spendable character with laughable lines that wears only bikini and to tell the truth, I only liked the characters and performances of Emily Foxler and the creatures. If you have already seen "The Forgotten Ones", "The Lost Tribe" will give you the sensation of déjà vu. My vote is five.Title (Brazil): "A Tribo II" ("The Tribe II")
