"Beware Boiúna" is a 2026 monster horror film directed by Mike P. Nelson and written by Alan B. McElroy, based on a story by McElroy and Tony Giglio. The film stars Kiana Madeira, Jessica Rothe, and Logan Marshall-Green. It follows a medical mission deep in the Amazon rainforest that encounters a colossal mythical serpent. Nelson, Madeira, and Rothe were all kind enough to spend some time talking with us about their work and experiences making the film, which you can watch or listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will open in theaters on October 2nd from Lionsgate. Thank you, and enjoy!
