The River S01E01E02 HDTV XViD PROPER-LOL

so the synopsis doesn't sound overtly interesting, but it's suppose to be a 'paranormal' actiony
adventure thing. and the reason i'll give it a shot, created by oren peli(paranormal activity) and
michael r. perry(paranormal activity 2 and american gothic).

wiki synopsis:

famed explorer dr. emmet cole (bruce greenwood) went looking for magic deep in the uncharted amazon
and never returned. the shocking truth about his disappearance is out there, somewhere, just waiting
to be discovered. to the millions of kids who grew up watching his nature show, dr. cole was a hero.
to his own son, lincoln (joe anderson), he was more of an enigma. now, six months after he vanished,
lincoln is finally ready to bury the past when dr. cole's emergency beacon suddenly goes off. at the
urging of his mother, tess (leslie hope), lincoln reluctantly joins her on a search for his father.
to fund the rescue, they agree to let dr. cole's cagey ex-producer, clark (paul blackthorne), film
the mission documentary-style. the mixed crew of old friends and new acquaintances includes the sexy
and resourceful lena (eloise mumford), loyal mechanic emilio (daniel zacapa) and lethal bodyguard
captain kurt brynildson (thomas kretschmann).

"so the synopsis doesn't sound overtly interesting"

yea, the amazon, a quest for a disappeared hero, really quite the boring usual stuff...

"and the reason i'll give it a shot, created by oren peli(paranormal activity) and
michael r. perry(paranormal activity 2 and american gothic)."

is the exact reason i wouldn't give it a shot if i wasn't so scarce on new stuff, that & ofc the "film
the mission documentary-style" anathema
