About This Movie

Amazonia: The Catherine Miles Story, directed by Mario Gariazzo, treads a unique path through adventure and horror. The film blends a sense of raw danger with a deeply personal quest for revenge, as Catherine's journey through the Amazon reveals brutal realities. The pacing feels off-kilter at times, which actually enhances its unsettling atmosphere. Performances are a mixed bag, but you really feel the desperation and primal fear. The practical effects, especially in depicting the tribe's rituals, are notably gritty and visceral. It’s this mix of dread and survival that sets it apart, making you reflect on the clash of cultures in a very visceral way. A fascinating watch for those interested in the darker corners of 80s indie cinema.
