• The film was previously titled Titan and Boiuna: Legend of the Amazon. 
• The film combines the legend of Boiuna, a mythical Amazonian serpent believed to possess supernatural powers, with Titanoboa, a gigantic prehistoric snake discovered in Colombia. 
• Professional wildlife handlers kept dangerous and venomous creatures away from the cast and crew during filming in the Amazon jungle. 

A tense encounter between two rival groups deep in the Amazon takes a deadly turn when something monstrous emerges from the river.

Meanwhile, riverboat captain Raul is transporting three doctors, Miguel, Alli and Callum, along the Curuca River to provide medical assistance to remote villages. Joining them is Raul's adopted daughter, Lena, who works as the boat's mechanic.

However, Lena has another reason for joining the journey. She hopes to find her missing brother, Jorge, who disappeared while investigating illegal mining activities in the jungle.

Everything seems to be going according to plan until they encounter two brothers, Brennan and Shawn Malloy, who are surveying the rainforest for potential road development. Or so, they claimed.

Things quickly turn ugly when a confrontation involving Shawn, Alli and Lena ends in tragedy. Fearing the consequences, the women attempt to cover up what happened. Unfortunately, Brennan discovers the truth and is determined to make them pay.

As if dealing with an angry man seeking revenge is not enough, something far more terrifying is lurking beneath the murky river.

When the group arrives at a mysteriously abandoned village, they discover disturbing evidence suggesting that something monstrous has been hunting in the area.

A gigantic snake known as Boiuna, a terrifying creature rooted in Amazonian mythology, emerges from the depths and begins hunting anyone unfortunate enough to cross its path.

Suddenly, the rainforest becomes a deadly playground where nobody is safe. With the enormous predator attacking without warning, the group finds itself caught between a vengeful enemy and a creature capable of swallowing humans whole.

For Lena, surviving the nightmare also means uncovering what happened to Jorge and discovering the disturbing secrets hidden within the jungle.

Can Lena escape the deadly jungle or will Boiuna claim her as its next victim?

MY REVIEW

What I Like:  

• Boiuna is certainly monstrous and looks deadly!
• The surrounding feels authentic and the myth heightens the anxiety of watching and waiting for the monster to emerge, from nowhere. 

What I Don't Like:

• I want more Boiuna time. 
• The ending wasn't so clear. I was made to understand that those captives will become Boiuna's meals?

Will I Watch It Again: Yes, I don't mind watching it again.

Overall: 4.6/ 5.0
