Sirka

A group of explorers ventures into the Amazon rainforest in search of a legendary lost city. They encounter hostile indigenous tribes, treacherous terrain, and a mysterious, ancient evil that preys on their fears and sanity. As their numbers dwindle and paranoia sets in, the remaining survivors must confront the darkness within themselves and the jungle to escape with their lives.

While it garnered some attention upon release for its unconventional themes and unsettling tone, it was often overshadowed by larger productions and Kinski's more famous collaborations.
