‘Their search for their father… led them to Hell!’
Jungle Run is a 2021 American fantasy creature feature action film about a mission to search for a missing professor in Brazil’s rainforest. The movie is a mockbuster of Disney’s Jungle Cruise.
Directed by Noah Luke (cinematographer on Airliner Sky Battle; Asteroid-a-Geddon; Collision Earth) from a screenplay written by Marc Gottlieb (Aquarium of the Dead; Fast and Fierce: Death Race; Triassic World; Alien Convergence). Produced by David Michael Latt.
The Asylum production stars Alyson Gorske (616 Wilford Lane; Meteor Moon; Battle Star Wars), Wade Hunt Williams (Celebrity Crush), Jack Pearson (Alien Conquest; Shark Season; Fast and Fierce: Death Race), Jamie Petitto and Richard Grieco (Attack of the Unknown; Art of the Dead; Minutes to Midnight).
Our capsule review:
This is standard mockbuster stuff from The Asylum. It’s watchable but some of the dialogue – particularly from Alyson Gorske’s character Amanda – grates and the CGI creatures are of the usual poor quality. Nevertheless, it’s ok time waster for fans of trashier films who are in a charitable mood.
Choice dialogue:
Lebecq [Wade Hunt Williams]: “This is the Amazon. Anything is possible.”
