The must-see creature feature, Beware Boiúna, is slithering into your living room. Lionsgate® has announced the digital and physical media release date for the film about a massive snake.
Brazilian Folklore Meets Jungle Nightmare
The story follows a dedicated team of doctors and aid workers. They travel deep into isolated stretches of the rainforest to deliver critical medical supplies to remote communities. However, their mission goes horribly wrong when they discover illegal mining has disturbed the slumber of Boiúna, a colossal serpent from Brazilian folklore. Now, everyone is on the menu. They soon find themselves stranded on treacherous waters and completely cut off from communication. The apex predator hunts them from both the dense canopy and murky depths.
A Creature Feature from a Genre Veteran
Behind the camera, Beware Boiúna brings together an impressive roster of genre talent. Director Mike P. Nelson (Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85, upcoming Saw sequel) works from a screenplay by Alan McElroy (Wrong Turn) based on a story co-written with Tony Giglio (Doom: Annihilation). Produced by Resident Evil franchise veterans Jeremy Bolt and Robert Kulzer, the film delivers tension, high-stakes suspense, and terrifying creature effects.
