Mike P. Nelson’s Amazon creature feature ‘Beware Boiúna’ releases

Director Mike P. Nelson's film 'Beware Boiúna', shot on location in the Amazon, follows a medical mission team encountering dangerous wildlife and the mythical giant snake Boiúna.

The movie features performances by Juan Pablo Shuk, Jessica Rothe, Will Close, Jaime Newball, and Kiana Madeira alongside physical effects representing the massive snake.

While praised for its ecological message and physical effects, the film received mixed reviews for dim lighting and a lack of panoramic shots to build tension.
