Entertainment Weekly debuted the trailer for the film from director Greg McLean (Wolf Creek, The Belko Experiment), and it basically looks like Daniel Radcliffe’s tropical nightmare version of The Revenant. Even crazier is that it’s all true, and despite the suspense and danger on display in the trailer, the man who really survived the elements says the limitations of the film’s production have a hard time capturing how truly terrifying this scenario was. Ghinsberg told The Sydney Morning Herald, “I have to tell you, usually movies are bigger than life. This movie is smaller than life. Everything you see is on a smaller scale than what really happened.”
Still, the movie looks like it has done a fine job of bringing the horrors of surviving in the jungle to life, not to mention giving Daniel Radcliffe yet another unique role for him to tackle, putting in a strong performance, complete with a convincing Israeli accent, making his voice unrecognizable.
At the very least, this could be a fine showcase for Daniel Radcliffe as an actor, even if the movie doesn’t become anything except a typical horror story of survival. As someone who enjoyed Wolf Creek, I’m hoping for the best, but will reserve judgment until I see the movie in full.
Jungle hits select theaters and VOD on October 20.
