A promising new monster flick called Indigenous lands on VOD December 8, 2015 from Momentum Pictures. The creature feature is from director Alastair Orr and features Zachary Soetenga, Lindsey McKeon, Sofia Pernas, Pierson Fode and Jamie Anderson. The story follows a circle of friends from Los Angeles vacationing in Panama where they encounter a legendary creature of the wild. The Grue-crew love their creature features and Indigenous looks right as tropical rain. Great locales, great cast and a monster to boot – what else would we need? Gore! Let’s hope for some gruesome, bloody gore.

Synopsis:
A group of five young friends travel from Los Angeles to exotic Panama for a week of partying in lush tropical paradise. Befriending a beautiful local woman in their hotel bar, they learn of a secret jungle hike to a pristine waterfall nearby. The woman cautions them strongly against the hike, warning that other gringos in search of the legendary waterfall had mysteriously disappeared into the jungle, never to be seen or heard from again.
Ignoring her 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 her 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!
