‘Beware Boiúna’ brings an Amazonian snake legend to theaters
“Beware Boiúna” is a horror film set in the Amazon, directed by Mike P. Nelson and starring Kiana Madeira, Jessica Rothe and Logan Marshall-Green.
It follows a medical team on a six-week mission to bring care to riverside villages.
The team encounters criminals involved in logging, while a mythical Amazonian snake called Boiúna threatens people on the river.
The film draws on familiar creature-feature elements and includes an ecological message.
The review praises the jungle scenes, physical effects and Madeira’s performance, but says the film shows too little of the snake and is often too dimly lit.
It also warns that some scenes are graphic.
The film is currently playing in theaters.
