Short description

A group of young travelers on vacation in Brazil is stranded in a remote rural area after their bus runs off the road. They initially take the hospitality of the locals at face value, but the isolated beaches and dense jungle conceal something far less welcoming, and the group soon finds itself in danger.

Turistas is a horror thriller directed by John Stockwell, released in December 2006. It followed Into the Blue in Stockwell's filmography and was written by Michael Arlen Ross. The cast includes Josh Duhamel, Melissa George, Olivia Wilde, Desmond Askew, Beau Garrett and Max Brown. It was produced by Fox Atomic, 2929 Productions, Stone Village Pictures and BoZ Productions.

The film had a budget of 10 million USD and took about 15 million USD worldwide, a modest return for a wide release. Audiences rate it 5.4/10 on IMDb from 42,000 votes and 5.5/10 on TMDB from 908 votes, both lukewarm. A critics' rating of 4.2/10 from 104 reviews puts professional opinion below those audience scores, indicating a largely negative critical response. Nearly a hundred crew members were credited on the production.
