An archeologist’s family struggles to stay alive, after a failed expedition in the remote jungles of the Amazon awakens a supposed extinct, cannibalistic humanoid that terrorizes and hunts them, one by one.

So failure is what it takes to invoke vengeance by a humanoid cannibal??? Sounds like some teachers whose tutelage I had to survive.

But seriously, the standard mytho-poetic formula is that daemonic forces arise to wreak revenge for failure to respect taboos, failure to avoid trespassing on sacred grounds, failure to respect sacred objects.? I suggest that the definition of the expedition’s failure needs to be refocused and made more specific.
