Stoned Dead (2006)

Summary: Two missionaries are lost, and presumed dead in the jungles of Panama. In New York, a pair of private investigators are hired to find them. Their only clue is a mysterious note with the word "Gila". But what does it mean? Is it a person?...a place?...an animal?...a river? The natives speak of "Gila" only in whispers. Some say that it is a place "of pure evil". Others call it "the resting place of the devil himself". The investigators seem to step back in time as they find themselves in the middle of a dense jungle filled with exotic animals, Aztec ruins, and an army of "walking dead". (taken from the official website)           Overall: This was a nice low-budget film from Ray and Migdalia Etheridge. Both have a lot of experience in films and tv and now are teaming up to produce films. I will say that once you realize what they spent to make the film, it sure doesn’t feel like it’s a low budget film. We’ve got some pretty decent acting, a nice story and some nicely shot scenes of jungles and tribal peoples. I enjoyed the film and think these 2 producers have some talent and if given enough resources can really do some good films. So go ahead and try and get a copy and enjoy.           Comparison: Night of the Living Dead meets White Zombie
