CGiii Comment
The LGBT element is minimal - a brief scene with a transgender character and a boy wearing lipstick and a dress.
The premise is sound enough - the execution is shambolic.
A catastrophic mish-mash of Heart of Darkness and Lord of the Flies - it is neither horrific nor thrilling - just a dreary piece of self-indulgent twaddle.

The(ir) Blurb...
In Phuket Island, Thailand, the architect Paul Bellmer and his wife Jeanne lost their son Joshua in a tsunami six months ago. Jeanne is disturbed and has not accepted the loss of her beloved son. While watching some footages from Myanmar (former Burma), Jeanne is convinced that a boy wearing a Manchester United shirt in a poor village is Joshua, and Paul accepts to seek out their son in the sea gypsies camp. They hire the trafficker Thaksin Gao and they travel in the boat of master Sonchai to search Joshua. After a series of weird incidents, Sonchai leaves the trio in an abandoned village. They have to walk through the jungle where they face a journey to hell.
