Plot:
Young scientist Bai Jingtian is looking for a murderous hydra, leading a group of people into the vast mountainous jungle. He thought it was just an ordinary scientific expedition. Unexpectedly, one danger after another follows after: “ghost shadow” blocking Roads, monsters raging, and unpredictable people’s hearts.
Bai Jingtian and his companions fall into desperation time and time again and there are countless mysteries such as hormones missing for no reason, companions who have returned from the dead…There is no way to seek help in the dense forest. Who is the enemy? Who are friends? If you make a mistake once, you may die in the mouth of the monster…
“They should have ended with the traditional final shot – nay, one almost compulsory in the “giant snake” genre – of a nest of eggs, and drawn a line under it. Up until then, this had just about managed to skate by on the strength of the writing; not something I’ve been able to say about many of these films. Unfortunately, it is unable to keep the momentum going, the writers’ tank running out of petrol with about 20 minutes still to go.” Rating: C Film Blitz
