Rating: R Stars: Kiana Madeira, Jessica Rothe, Logan Marshall-Green, Will Close, Vincente Peña, Jaime Newball, Sergio Herrera, Jackson Bews Writer: Alan McElroy, story by Tony Giglio and Alan McElroy Director: Mike P. Nelson Distributor: Lionsgate Release Date: October 2, 2026 As giant snake movies go (are there enough to qualify as an actual genre, or are these still a subgenre?), BEWARE BOIÚNA is perfectly decent. Director Mike P. Nelson and writer Alan McElroy, working from a story by Tony Giglio and McElroy, avoid a lot of the traditional associated pitfalls. There are genuine scares, true reversals of expectation, we don’t […]Read On »
