Dead Squad: Temple of the Undead

About This Movie

So, 'Dead Squad: Temple of the Undead' is this curious little gem from 2018 that dives into the jungle horror subgenre. You’ve got a group of young thrill-seekers who, during a river rafting adventure, get lost—and it just spirals into classic horror territory from there. The atmosphere is thick with tension, especially as they stumble upon this ancient ruin. The pacing? It takes its time to build up suspense, which I appreciate. Those practical effects? They’re a mixed bag but have a certain charm. The monsters are definitely memorable, even if they’re not groundbreaking. Performances are what you’d expect from a lower budget film, but they pull you into the dread nicely. It's worth a watch if you're into the wild jungle aesthetic and a bit of campy horror.
