Welcome to the Jungle (2007) Hostel, Wolf creek, and Turistas were adept at spending the first half of the story getting to know groups of adventurers, before they suddenly meet their doom. A straight to DVD “Dimension Extreme,” the “unrated” Jungle makes the same attempt, all the while pretending to be filmed by a first-person shakey cam. Four unfortunate travelers seek fame and fortune by searching the jungle for a Michael Rockefeller, who is rumored to still be living amongst the native cannibals. Obviously a terrible idea, but the four young adults–one whose acting is deplorable–proceed anyway. Already short at 82 minutes, roughly half of that is unnecessary mundane clips of them chilling out and talking to each other or to the camera. [rating: $2] – Kenyon
