McElroy and “set against the backdrop of Brazil’s Curuçá River,” the story concerns a “team of young doctors” as they “embark on a local humanitarian mission through the Amazon rainforest,” However, “it soon becomes clear that not everyone – or everything – is happy to see them. Their arrival draws the attention of an ancient predator, the ‘Boiúna’. This ancient killer, dominant on land and water, clashes to reclaim the jungle. The ensuing fight for survival blurs the roles of hunter, prey, and hero.”

Alien: Romulus
During a recent interview with THR, Isabela Merced promised Alien: Romulus includes a scene “so disgusting” the ten people who caught a preview each “had to turn away.”
When we were doing reshoots, Fede Álvarez gave me the iPad where he watches playback, and he had the movie pulled up. So I told him I wanted to see parts of it, and he showed it to me. I was the one holding the iPad, and there were ten people around me watching it on the iPad. So there’s a scene that I’m in, and they all had to turn away. Not one person stayed looking at that iPad because it was so disgusting. I was so excited.
