There are few cinematic subgenres capable of making your palms sweat more than a survival thriller, which essentially takes some of the worst fears imaginable for any person and throws them onto the screen complete with insurmountable odds, brushes with death, and all sorts of nightmare scenarios. It may not be the finest effort to emerge from the wilderness, but 2017’s Jungle still does a damn good job in creating nerve-shredding tension.
Led by Daniel Radcliffe once again proving himself capable of delivering the goods in almost any setting, the true-life story finds the actor as Yossi Ghinsberg, who found himself stranded in the inhospitable Amazon rainforest staring certain death in the face. He wasn’t too keen on the adventure in the first place, and it’s a highly unfortunate way of being proven right.
