Bernard K I liked it. An insane bad guy, but they managed to make it! Scythed, yes, but action-packed. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 04/04/20 Full Review Audience Member Has its moments. But as a low budget, its standard! Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Audience Member I love me a good rafting adventure (THE RIVER WILD anyone?). The only thing I need to know is, who in their right mind would go rafting in Zimbabwe for fun?! I mean who the hell was their travel agent? Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member Lots of classic one liners to pull out on raft trips Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Audience Member While filmed ok, the acting from these no name actors is high school grade. The American tourists are as naive and as white fool as they come. Four young Americans, on vacation in Africa, test themselves by rafting on the challenging, treacherous rapids of the Zambezi River and find themselves stalked by a pathological killer. The only real test is how to deal with the tour guide. The tour guide is jerk and war psycho and acts as terrible as his customers. Purely for youngest film buffs out there. They might be impressed. The rest of more experieced film goers would be better off seeing an elementary school play. Cast Stephen Shellen Lisa Aliff Marc Poppel John Terlesky Bradford Bancroft Crew Cinematographer: George Tirl Composer: James Stemple Co-Producer : Conrad Hool Costume Designer: Poppy Cannon-Reese Director: Michael Schroeder Editor: Mark Conte Producer: Lance Hool Screenplay: John Crowther Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member It's The River Wild, but funnier and about 6 billion percent more mental. Cheese factor = 10. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/15/23 Full Review Read all reviews
