Cannes poster for Alastair Orr’s creature feature Indigenous

Last Updated on August 2, 2021

Last month we brought you the trailer for Alastair Orr's found footage creature feature INDIGENOUS, a nasty-looking lil film that pits a group of vacationing friends against a blood-thirsty Chupacabra. Sounds like fun, right? Well, today we have your look at the Cannes poster art that warns that 'There Are Some Places You Should Never Visit'. I'll take their word for it and be sure to cross out any plans for a jungle excursion in the future.

INDIGENOUS stars Zachary Soetenga, Lindsey McKeon, Pierson Fode, Sofia Pernas, Laura Penuela, and Juanxo Villaverde, and was shot on location in Panama. The film follows…

…a group of friends who travel from Los Angeles to exotic Panama for a week of surfing and partying in a lush tropical paradise. Befriending a beautiful local woman in their hotel bar, they learn of a secret jungle hike to a pristine waterfall nearby. A local surfer cautions them strongly against the journey into the dense jungles of the Darien Gap, warning that other gringos in search of the legendary waterfall had mysteriously disappeared into the rainforest, never to be seen or heard from again.

Ignoring his warnings, the group convinces the woman to guide them to the picturesque waterfall, thinking that they have nothing to fear with a local as their guide. What begins as a fun outing quickly turns terrifying when their guide mysteriously vanishes after a romantic tryst at the falls. As night closes in, the friends realize too late the truth behind the warnings— horrific, bloodthirsty, flesh-eating creatures are now stalking them. The mangled survivors rush to jungle caves for shelter, only to realize they’ve entered the monsters’ lair!“

Lightning Entertainment recently acquired international sales rights to INDIGENOUS, which will debut in Cannes after having its Tribeca world premiere last month.
