Synopsis

A group of teenagers journey by balloon to a remote forest in search of a friend who's gone missing after his trip that he took for a film project. En route, a brutal storm takes them down in the middle of the forest. The teenagers are forced to take shelter in a dark cave, unaware that an unusual creature is silently resting there. It is not too long before they discover the terrible thing deep inside the cave, a ferocious and enormous Boa. They have no choice but to fight for their lives.

Reception

The film has received very negative reviews.

Robert Beveridge of Popcorn for Breakfast: "All the SFCOM markers are here. There’s bad CGI, awful script, generic cute chicks (and one who’s supposed to be the “plain” intelligent one who's actually hotter than the rest of the bunch: in this movie, that's Kiratikorn Ratkulthorn, in her first but hopefully not last film), monsters that do nothing you'd think they would do, etc.[1]

AnimalAttack called the film average and gave it a score of 3 out of 6.[2]

In its opening weekend in Thailand the film came in second at the box office grossing $167,154. In its second weekend the film dropped 74.8% and grossed $42,150. The film went on to gross $302,950.[3]
