Damned River

This movie was better than I thought it'd be, as judging by it's cover, and B grade status. We have a sort of Deliverance and River Wild geld together.

Four American silver-spoon fed would-be adventurers travel to Zimbabwe for their vacation with the desire to go river rafting. They hire Stephen Shellen to lead them down the river.

"Ain't no way of winnin' when you're playin' with the devil's odds." A bunch of stupid, unlikable party dudes go to the Zambizi River in Africa for no reason.

It's your typical vacation-goes-really-bad movie with the guide going wacko, and the resulting helplessness of the couch potatoes in the hands of a brutal alpha type.Lisa Aliff is gorgeous, and all the actors are good, especially the psycho.

No one is ever going to mistake "Damned River" for "Deliverance", but it would be a mistake to dismiss "Damned River" as non-entertainment. Filmed on location, this Zimbabwe rafting adventure has photography that is simply outstanding.

"Damned River" is like a mix between "Deliverance" and "Treasure of the Amazon." It has elements of Euor-trash and I happened to like that a lot.

Stephen Shellen is a great actor totally animated and hostile in this film and you cant help but to love him. Check out a river runs through it and you will notice how his part in that movie wakes you up and makes you laugh and you feel sad when his character leaves.
