Sacrifice of the White Goddess

A 90s SOV love letter to old jungle epics and Italian cannibal movies? I was instantly hooked.

Sadly, they just did not have the money to pull off what was needed. The first half of the movie consists of our main character traveling down to Mexico (in reality, Southern California), begging for money and meeting the two others on her expedition.

Next, they walk through the jungle, one of the girls gets naked in a waterfall, and finally at 47 minutes we get the first death.

The acting, audio, and video quality are all bad but are forgivable. The only thing this needed was some lofi gore effects and it would have been a fun time waster.

Instead, we get a tripping into the river and rolling around until death(?), a man hacked to death by machetes off screen, and a liver gets ripped out which turns into a dove and the movie freeze frame ends.

Which is a shame, because the finale at the temple showed some effort was made between the set and costumes. They just didn't extend that to the rest of the movie so viewers are left with a "that was it?" experience.
