The Lost Tribe

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.

A group of young adults crashes their boat on some island, and they encounter a race of primates that is maybe the missing link or maybe something else. It's not really clear, but one thing is certain: they are deadly.

This movie is stupid for a number of reasons, the first being that they have no clue what they're talking about with Catholics -- the film features a King James version of the Bible (not a Catholic one) and says the motive is evolution denial. Believe it or not, the Catholic Church believes in evolution! This is also obviously a "Predator" ripoff based on the cover art, and the creatures' vision. The beasts in the film don't even really look like the cover, so it's a ripoff and misleading.

Where is this? 5 hours north of the Antilles... is that where evolution occurred? I don't know, but I doubt it, as that would be off the American coast.

Lance Henriksen appears, and tries to save the film... but fails.

First of all, yes, THE LOST TRIBE does contain several similarities to earlier films such as PREDATOR and THE DESCENT. In fact, some could be called outright lifts. In addition, the idea of "the church" sending out a hit squad to cover up "proof of evolution" is absurd.

However, it somehow works in spite of these glaring flaws.

The characters are believable enough, with Anna (Emily Baldoni) being the unexpected standout. The creatures are better than expected, full of primal menace. While much of the movie is indeed derivative and the story line is rather inane, the final 30 minutes are worth the pain.

Lance Henriksen fans take note: His screen time amounts to about a minute and a half...

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")

A group of young people like cliche american movies fall in the middle of a secret or something. The film is a classic American film. The director obviously wanted to remove the film from this classics. He tried to make a difference in the cliché but could not save the film. It was surprised that his character was not a hero later. The strangling woman is also a separate comic.

The end of the film is really nice. The last 20 minutes it was not as classic as it was put.

Other than that, he did not die first in fatness.

The things that attract Filmin down are:

It was a classic.

The players were bad.

The characters were simple.

The film was of good quality.

The shooting mistake is too much.

The so-called secret was ridiculous, but it was not bad anyway.
