A woman hires a boat captain to take her into the Amazon where her father has gone missing. Along the way the villains end up kidnapping her and its up to the Captain to to rescue her.
Very good adventure yarn with some great action, some clever turns and one of the nastiest piranha attacks ever caught on film. (I don't care if its just an animal that gets eaten it will make your skin crawl as it goes on and on and on.) This is a near perfect rainy day sort of movie. If there is any real flaw its that the print I saw seems to have been trimmed down, probably to fit into slot on TV with commercials. I'm guessing this because the print has a couple of jumps in story that are too egregious to be anything other than intentionally caused. (The print I saw also has the ear marks of being a black and white version of a color movie, which again would lead me to believe that this was once part of some TV package of Euro-films that were sold to local stations) Cut or not this is a film thats worth a bag of popcorn and a soda on a rainy afternoon.
