It was overall semi good, but I really wasn't impressed.

To be honest I had high hopes for "Welcome To The Jungle", seeing how it sounded appealing to my time, and how it was produced by the Dimension Extreme company.So when I put it in I immediately was like "Oh boy, here we go"., I said this because it already was going to be like "The Blair Witch Project".Even though that type of film-making is still relatively new, and hasn't been done a lot, it just feels it has been enough times, and that if it needs to be done, it should be on a really fresh film.So it's because of this that from the start I was not enjoying it at all.Then I lightened up and it became more interesting than it was, and while at times it did start to get boring I still managed to get entertainment from this.Pretty much to me as a film "Welcome To The Jungle", will most likely not scare somebody, unless you can put yourself in there situation, then it becomes more interesting and more thrilling.At times however I feel some 2 out of the 4 main characters to be extremely annoying(yet when they were in danger I was hoping they'd live), and other characters to be extremely daft. Overall like I said If you can imagine yourself in their shoes then the film will be better, but as far as just staring at it waiting for something good to happen, you will be very uninterested.
