Lionsgate Brings Amazonian Cryptid Legend Boiúna to Theaters This October

Director Mike P. Nelson, known for his work on Wrong Turn, V/H/S/85, and Silent Night, Deadly Night, is bringing a new creature feature to theaters through Lionsgate. The film is titled Beware Boiúna and is set for a theatrical release on October 2. According to the source, the story centers on a medical mission deep in the Amazon jungle that goes sideways when the group encounters the Boiúna, described as a colossal ancient snake rooted in Amazonian legend. The Boiúna is a real figure in Brazilian and indigenous Amazonian mythology, often depicted as a massive serpent said to inhabit the region's rivers and waterways. Nelson reportedly ventured into the jungle during production, suggesting at least some location shooting took place in or around the Amazon. Beyond the premise, cast details, and other specifics are not included in the available source material. The film appears to be drawing on genuine regional folklore rather than purely invented fiction, which gives it a grounding in actual cultural mythology surrounding the cryptid.

New Survey Reveals Where Canadians Stand on Ghosts, UFOs, and Sasquatch

A survey from the University of British Columbia has examined what Canadians believe when it comes to paranormal and unexplained phenomena, covering topics including ghosts, extraterrestrial life, and the legendary cryptid Sasquatch. The research, published through UBC News, reportedly explores the range of paranormal beliefs held across the Canadian population and identifies which phenomena Canadians are most and least likely to accept as real. According to the source, the study touches on ghost belief, UFO or alien-related convictions, and cryptid sightings, though the specific percentages and detailed findings are not available in the provided snippet. The survey appears to be a broad look at how widespread these beliefs are among everyday Canadians rather than an investigation of any specific sighting or incident. No particular evidence for or against any of these phenomena is cited in the available material. The research comes from an academic institution, lending it a degree of credibility as a sociological snapshot, though belief surveys measure public opinion rather than verify paranormal claims.

New Documentary Takes a Fresh Look at the 1924 Ape Canyon Bigfoot Attack Near Mount St. Helens

A new documentary titled 'The Siege of Ape Canyon' is set to investigate what is widely considered one of the most notorious alleged Bigfoot encounters in history. According to the trailer release covered by Dread Central, the film focuses on the Ape Canyon incident, which reportedly took place near Mount St. Helens. The 1924 event, as it has long been described, involved a group of miners who claimed they were attacked overnight by large, unknown creatures at a remote cabin in what is now known as Ape Canyon in Washington State. The documentary appears to dig into the history and details surrounding those claims. Beyond the trailer release itself, the source material does not provide specifics about what new evidence, witnesses, or conclusions the film may present. Whether the documentary approaches the subject skeptically or takes the eyewitness accounts at face value is not clear from the available information. The Ape Canyon story has persisted in Bigfoot lore for over a century, and this film seems positioned to bring renewed attention to it. No release date or distributor details were included in the source material.
