Synopsis: Dark Amazon is a supernatural thriller shot deep in the Amazon jungle of Brazil. After the discovery of a breakthrough cancer cure, a documentary film crew follows a group of researchers into the heart of the rain forest to capture the entire experience. With the cameras rolling at all times, the former Reality TV crew focuses on the researchers' personal dramas, leaving some feeling very uncomfortable as well as capturing strange unexplained occurrences. When the research samples are mysteriously destroyed, things take a deadly turn and they're left stranded, scared, and fighting for their lives, facing both physical and potentially supernatural forces. To make it back to civilization, they must traverse the dangerous rain forest and resist the mental and emotional anguish of this deadly journey.

the jungle before we go in?

Sure.

And there's the jungle.

And more jungle.

I'm not sure why she wants so

much b-roll of the jungle...

Because it's pretty much the

same everywhere you look.

Trees.

[Animal growling]

[Nikki]

You get some good stuff, Robby?

Ah, this looks cozy.

What's with the color scheme?

I like it. I think it's nice.

I wish I could paint my apartment.

Wait, how come you get the bed?

Because I have a vagina, Jay.

Oh, Robby. There's a few outlets

over here on this side...

And a couple more across the room.

Make sure you guys keep those

batteries charged, okay?

Don't worry. We have plenty of extra

charged batteries to last us a lifetime.

My vagina is bigger than hers.

You know that.

You have a vagina?

I heard that, Jay.

- Can I have some more?

- Yes.

[Nikki speaking Portuguese]

Thank you.

[Esteves speaking Portuguese]

Thank you.

You say Obrigada 'cause you're a girl.

- If you're a boy, you say obrigado.

- Obrigado.

- Obrigada.

- Yes.

Can I have some more?

It's really good.

You want more?

We've got a lot of ground to cover.

The frogs migration pattern changed last

year because of the

changing environment.

- Sorry.

- Sorry.

I think we'll start on the east

side of the forest...

Because that's where the frogs

were last year.

It's a starting point.

That's where we'll start our search.

Yeah. I've prepared the bags.

But I'll double check in the morning.

Okay then. I'll see everybody

in the morning.

- All right.

- All right.

You mean all of us?

- Yeah.

- Of course.

No women.

- I'm sorry, what?

- Excuse me?

The women will just hold us

back, you know that, John.

Wait are you serious?

We're all going, so you

better get used to it.

Exactly.

- John?

- Andre?

Everybody on the research team

and the camera crew, they're going.

They got a job to do, so do you.

Fine. Your call. But don't say

I didn't warn you.

- What?

- What, is it the 1800s? Seriously.

- It's too dangerous.

- We'll be fine.

[Mina speaking Portuguese]

I was raised here. Im used to it.

[Esteves speaking Portuguese]

I know, but it is still dangerous!

[Mina speaking Portuguese] Its

dangerous for men, too. Not just women.

John, can we trust him?

Yeah, he's a great guy most of the time.

He's just a little bit of a hermit.

Rude is more like it.

- Who's the workaholic now?

- All right.

Okay. I had to send off a few emails.

I'll be done in just a second.

Oh yeah?

You know what? I didn't think

this thing would work...

All the way out here in the jungle,

but it does. It's amazing.

- Oh, you know why it works?

- Why?

Because it's 100% Brazilian.

Oh yeah? There. All done. Now.

Let's say we add some spice to

these video diaries.

Are you sure? I don't want to

interrupt your work.

- No, you're not interrupting anything.

- No?

- I don't think so.

- Come on.

- Wait a second. Okay.

- Robby, we don't have time for this.

If we don't get this on tape

the others won't believe us.

We have to document it.

Now, repeat what you just told me.

- I heard a noise.

- What did it sound like?

I don't know, it was a weird

kind of noise. But...

Weird like how?

It felt like it was in here and then I

felt like it was something out there.

- Did you hear that?

- Yeah, should we wake the others?

- Come on. Let's go.

- Okay.

- Stay close to me, Robby!

- Well, I'm trying!

- Do you have a flashlight or something?

- Not on me, no.

I'm so afraid.

[Yelling]

[Mina]

What was that?

I felt like somebody touched me.

Like somebody touched me.

What?

I'm sorry. Sorry, guys.

Are you all right?

Yes, yes. Everybody's good.

We heard a noise.

I'm trying to get some sleep here.

We just heard a noise outside.

We heard a noise. Just be quiet.

Let's listen.

You heard a noise?

What kind of noise?

Shhh, let's listen.

- Robby, are you getting this?

- Yeah.

- Jay, get the DAT ready.

- Huh?

Get the DAT ready.

What did it sound like?

[Loud bang]

Oh my God!

Like that.

[Animal noises]

Why is he getting high right now?

What?

What is he doing?

[Rafael speaking Portuguese]

Its to calm the spirits.

He said he's doing this

to calm the spirits.

- Are you ready?

- Yeah.

What?

Let's go check it out.

Wait, wait, you guys don't even

know what is out there yet.

Yeah, but we won't know

unless we take a look.

I'll go with you.

- No! No, please, John, don't.

- John, no! No.

Stay here. Stay here.

You have to trust me.

I know this area like

the back of my hand.

There's nothing I haven't seen yet.

[Esteves speaking Portuguese]

Do you want me to go with you guys?

- No, theres no need.

- Robby, go. -You go out there.

Can you see 'em?

You see anything?

It's probably nothing. Just

go back inside. [Whistling]

What the f*** was that?

See?

There's nothing out there.

[Scream]

What the f*** was that?

Did you see that?

Did you guys see that?

Watch this.

No, it can't be. It's gotta be

some sort of animal.

- What's going on?

- I saw something.

- What was it?

- I don't know yet.

Let's just go inside and we can

rewind the tape and check it out.

Yeah.

Okay, let's go inside.

It was probably just a monkey

or something like that right?

A monkey?

We heard it several times before you

guys did. It wasn't just a monkey.

Whatever it is, it's not there anymore.

Like, it's completely

quiet and still out there.

How can you be sure?

Because I'm looking outside.

Do you have infrared eyes?

Looked like a thousand times.

No, Robby I don't have infrared eyes.

It's really still out there now.

You can say what you

will about the footage,

but everyone saw it with their own eyes.

I know we all saw it. I'm just trying

to figure out what the hell that was.

It was probably just an animal.

It didn't sound like an animal.

John, maybe it was that river

phantom you were talking about.

- Anchorage or whatever?

- Anhang?

The forest spirits are only dangerous

to those who do harm. We're not.

Okay. Thanks Obi-Wan.

John, do you really believe that?

Yeah, I do, Ben. I mean,

I'm a scientist...

But there's a lot of things I don't

understand that I believe in.

- What?

- Yeah, I agree.

There's no such thing.

It's probably just a wild animal

like Andre said.

In fact, I bet you sacred him

off with all your screaming.

Can we please just go to bed?

It's really late.

I'm not going to bed, man, with that

thing crawling around out there.

Well, I don't know what it was, but...

Maybe we should just go to sleep.

I mean, we can look around

tomorrow and see if we find something.

It's best.

- Let's just go to bed.

- Okay, that's it.

I'll go to bed but I'm

not going to sleep.

Good night.

You wanna take a break, John?

- No, I said. I'm okay. Just keep on.

- Well, I need a break soon.

- You guys okay?

- Yeah.

He's not looking too good.

What the f*** was that?

Jay. Jay!

Robby, come on!

Okay, okay, I'm coming.

So, which area are we

searching tomorrow?

Oh. Tomorrow we're gonna travel
