This film has no originality or self respect.
There is nothing I would say is good about this film. It was barely a horror movie. I only saw a few people twitch in the cinema because of the unexpected loud noises (one of which was an engine revving too loudly).
The movie is so back in time with the plot that it would probably be classified as a B-movie even in the 70s. Young adults, looking for adventure, finds a possibly dangerous place to travel, they succumb to peer pressure by their friends and so on it begins.
It will probably air on your local TV channel pretty soon if you really want to watch it (or something extremely similar to it which can just be a replacement).
The only thing I can praise is some of the actors seemed to put an effort.

This is an amazingly dreadful movie. Starts off looking like a pretty good C-Grade movie and some fun in the jungle with an unknown beast. That's what it is, but most of the time we run around with a flashlight, screams from the humans and screeches from the beast.
We hardly see the beast and have no feelings towards the humans (like who cares if they die).
Avoid this one, no joke.

Below mediocre, thoroughly amateurish attempt making a survival horror film in the jungles of Panama. The film is about a group of friends who decide to explore an impenetrable area called the Darién Gap.
The Darién Gap (Spanish: Región del Darién or Tapón del Darién) is a break in the Pan-American Highway consisting of a large swath of undeveloped swampland and forest within Panama's Darién Province in Central America and the northern portion of Colombia's Chocó Department in South America.
Having learned from a friend about a beautiful waterfall in that area, which has a pool very good to swim in, they decide to undertake an expedition despite the friend's warning about a vicious creature that inhabits the area. This creature, the Chupacabra, is thought to be an evil spirit inhabiting the body of a half-man, half-animal being.
The film opens fairly straightforward as most films in this genre do. A group of tourists enjoying themselves, sucking up the atmosphere, drinking, making love to their girlfriends etc., etc. Then they decide that rather then surfing at the coast, they do something adventurous and explore this impenetrable area called the Darién Gap. They find the waterfall as the friend said. They then bathe in the pool below the waterfall for a while, till one of the couple decides to leave and do deeper into the jungle. Then all hell breaks loose...
The director, I feel, is unable into inject a real spark into this film. The actors that were chosen did their jobs as per the script. But the script itself is so obviously dull and predictable, that we already know what direction the film is headed at. In the past I saw a survival action-horror film that set the benchmark for all movies of its genre. This film was Predator, a 1987 film directed by John McTiernan. Also note that The Thing (1982) directed by John Carpenter is also a survival-horror film. Basis of such movies is an outer-space alien killing off humans.
More films you may like: Dawn of the Dead(1978), Tremors(1990), Jaws(1975), Shakma(1990), Prince of Darkness(1987), 30 Days of Night(2007).
Thank you for reading this review. May you live long and prosper.

I will admit, I only got half an hour into the film before I had to turn it off and find something else to watch. While the photography is beautiful - the company obviously had a good DP, the cast of characters is entirely unsympathetic and filled with the entire inventory of Film School 101 clichéd, mail-order characters: the charismatic couple with the saccharine, please-get-a-room constant kissy-facing; the pathetic, downtrodden loser hoping to make it big; the unattached but beautiful female friend who serves no real plot purpose; and the drunken, foul- mouthed jerk. The plot is not new: friends go for a coming-of-age, last-gasp vacation and die horribly. With a soundtrack alternating between inaudible dialog and ear-splitting music, and no one whose fate is worth caring about, it's simply un-watchable.

Indigenous offers the well-known concept of lost tourists on an exotic location where they meet hostile entity. It highly resembles other fiction movies or even miniseries from Discovery channel. To its credit, it gives nice visual of the setting and there is effort to produce horror, but ultimately it is a straightforward and tired endeavor.
The story might work to its advantage as audience gets exactly what they expect. There's little diversity here, even in recent year there are several movies with same theme. A few college kids take vacation in a beautiful place, and then they are inexplicably going to ominous site even though there are plenty of visible warnings.
Visual is pretty good, the use of location is commendable, although when the encounter happens during nighttime, it reverts to jittery cam. The movie is shot mostly on third person, so it shouldn't encounter this issue like many mockumentary movies. Fortunately, the practical effect works well and it doesn't shy away from displaying the monster instead of maintaining blurry shots.
Script does what it needs to, though surprisingly the actors perform admirably. They mostly look genuine, either through occasionally adequate presentation of the horror or the acting itself. In latter half, the movie opts for different gimmick and tries to broaden the scale, a decent effort but not entirely novel.
Indigenous is exactly one would expect from lost tourist horror theme, it's far from innovative, but it might just be sufficient in the small scope.
