The premise

A group of adventurers head to a primitive tribe in Africa to find a treasure of diamonds and a beautiful white girl who was lost years ago and was made the tribe's goddess.

Horror Vault's take

Deep in the African jungle, a motley crew of fortune-seekers sets out to claim a legendary diamond fortune — and to rescue a woman who vanished long ago into the heart of a primitive tribe. The expedition quickly discovers that the wilderness holds dangers far more savage than they anticipated, from lurking predators to the volatile world of the tribe itself. Equal parts sleazy adventure and jungle horror, this early-80s European genre entry leans hard into exploitation territory, blending creature peril with exotic-locale thrills.
