Overview
- Lionsgate released a final trailer and opened ticket sales to promote Beware Boiúna’s scheduled theatrical debut on October 2, 2026.
- The trailer foregrounds early festival praise, quoting a 9/10 JoBlo review and a 4/5 write-up from Bloody Disgusting after Fantastic Fest screenings.
- The film is directed by Mike P. Nelson, written by Alan B. McElroy from a story with Tony Giglio, and stars Kiana Madeira, Jessica Rothe, and Logan Marshall-Green.
- The official synopsis describes a medical mission in the Amazon that becomes a fight for survival when Boiúna, a colossal ancient predator, awakens to reclaim its domain and the marketing stresses a less-campy, character-driven tone.
- Early positive notices are shaping pre-release momentum but box office and wider critical response will determine whether the film can revive serious snake-centered creature horror.
