Perdida em Sodoma

A group of explorers ventures into the Amazon rainforest in search of a lost civilization. Their expedition quickly devolves into a nightmarish struggle for survival as they encounter savage tribes, cannibalistic rituals, and increasingly horrific dangers. The deeper they go, the more they lose their humanity, succumbing to primal instincts and the brutal environment.

However, it has gained a cult following among fans of extreme cinema for its unbridled intensity and uncompromising depiction of violence.

Google audience: Audience reception is highly polarized due to the film's extreme violence and exploitative nature. While some viewers appreciate its raw, unflinching depiction of survival and primal horror, many find it excessively gory and disturbing.
