Paradise Lost (Stockwell, 2006)

Film Description

A group of international tourists seeking fun and adventure in Brazil get a lot more than they bargained for in this suspenseful horror film. Written by first-time screenwriter Michael Arlen Ross and directed by John Stockwell, Paradise Lost is set in the Brazilian mountains, where Alex (Josh Duhamel); his sister, Bea (Olivia Wilde); and her best friend, Amy (Beau Garrett), are preparing for an eco-tour. But when their bus crashes, they are stranded with a group of locals as well as a handful of other tourists.

In the middle of nowhere, the group stumble across a bar where they drink and dance the night away - and ar drugged and robbed of just about everything. Walking into an unfriendly town, the only person offering any help at all is Kiko (Agles Steib), who might not exactly be leading them to safety...

Paradise Lost is a well-paced thriller that explores post-9/11 paranoia, and features torture, violence, and a terrific underwater chase scene.
