Another stinker from an era wherein it was

Another stinker from an era wherein it was all about the drive-in business, and Curucu, Beast of the Amazon certainly fits the bill. This is certainly a movie that you'd rather be necking with someone than actually watching because it's just a terrible movie. Spoilers be damned, but there is no monster in this movie. It's just a guy pretending to be one, and that could work in a movie with a lot of atmosphere and some decent characters, but this movie has none of that. It's very cheaply and poorly made with no substance to it at all. It's easily a skippable bad B movie.

A moderately amusing jungle adventure which places Bromfield

A moderately amusing jungle adventure which places Bromfield in dangerous Amazon territory alongside the courageous Garland. Bromfield plays a plantation owner who wants to find out why his workers are leaving the fields and returning to the jungles. Garland is trudging through the marshes on a mission to find a cure for cancer in a native's head-shrinking formula. They face the usual creepy jungle obstacles--spiders and snakes and piranhas--but none of them stop Bromfield from getting some answers. Payne, poorly suited up as a giant bird, is trying to frighten the peasants away from the exploitative plant owners. Garland's quest for a cancer cure goes ignored as the two travelers fall under the spell of Eros.

Surgeon General's Warning

Any movie that has a scene of the hero smoking while the doctor is giving him his annual medical check up has to be a classic.There is validity to every single negative review of this picture, but who cares? Look, I love Ingmar Bergman films, but am I going to kick back with beer and nacho cheese Doritos on a summer Saturday afternoon watching "Cries And Whispers?" I didn't spend all morning cutting the grass to then crash the couch and drown myself in Swedish angst. That's for cold bleak winter nights. For summer I want a jungle, a tight pants adventuress and a hero who can spend an entire week lost in the Amazon and still not have a single day's facial hair. Yes, as everyone agrees without a doubt the movie rips you off and leaves you a chump for ever believing such a thing as truth in advertising exists. But stop crybaby'ing about it already. Get over your disappointment like a big boy and just enjoy the mustard we got. To hell with your Grey Poupon!
