Rimba Panas

JUNGLE HEAT aka RIMBA PANAS is another Indonesian film pastiche that borrows elements from various other genre films that came before it. While these concoctions can often be very unique and entertaining, this entry is heavily weighed down by its lesser parts. Its part action movie, part jungle adventure, part cannibal movie, part fantasy, and part romance. While it features a number of effective and/or hilarious scenes final part is easily the worst of the bunch. It is given far too much screentime for what amounts to a cheap montage and its execution, while poor, isn't bad enough to be entertaining. But if you are desperate for jungle cannibal films, than this might be worth a watch for you. This is light years better than Indonesia's other addition to the sub-genre PRIMITIF aka PRIMITIVES as there is actually cannibalism and multiple scenes of psychotronic goodness and hilairously inept film making.
