Every time I TRY to watch a Zebub film, I can never finish. Every single time. This one too! "Amateur" is a word that doesn't even warrant use here.
"Sub-par" gets closer.
"Cheap" certainly applies. But even other cheap b-movies can afford things like "effort". This one lacks on that front in so many ways. Sorry, but I can't even feel bad for those involved.
Avoid.

Plot summary
With Adolf Hitler knowing that he is losing the war, a handful of Nazis board a plane bound for Argentina, where they plan to live in hiding. However, a bolt of lightning strikes the aircraft, forcing them to crash-land on an unknown island off the coast of South America. Now, stranded in hostile uncharted territory, trapped in the heart of the green inferno, the Nazis are going to pay for their crimes, as savage warriors of a ferocious indigenous tribe of cannibals pick them off one by one. As a result, humiliation, torture, mutilation, and of course, brutal violation await the Aryan intruders. Can they escape the impending holocaust?

A disappoinment for cannibal fans
If you are like me and thought that this might be a fun blending of old school, Italian cannibal movies and Nazisploitation then you too will be very disappointed by this movie. While the gore is created entirely through practical effects, there are no jungle cannibals to be found; nor is there any on screen cannibalism. Instead you have "civilized" people killing other "civilized" people and rarely for any reason. While this might sound like a fun excuse to kill an hour and half, most of the fights are poorly coregraphyed and are all in slow-motion. The fights almost never result in any gore or extreme violence (most of that is saved for the end of the movie) and instead features a lot of people being punched, choked out, passing out from poison, or suffering a surprisingly tame bullet wound.
I will give credit where it's due and say that when the blood does finally flow at the end you do get some decent gore. I would compare it in both quality and goriness to something you'd see in an Andreas Schnaas production. Also, if you like gelding scenes then you have two to look forward to. Both members are hilariously fake looking and one is even thrown into someone's face after detachment has occurred!
Overall I would not recommend this to any jungle cannibal fans as none of the required check boxes are hit. If you like metal music, slow-mo fights involving lingerie clad women, Dad jokes about grammar Nazis, and some decent gore at the end then you might consider checking it out.
Avoid, not even funny
At the time of writing three quarters of the IMDb ratings were 1/10 which is fair.
Summary: avoid
Production values: 0/10, absent, it is evident within seconds this was filmed without budget and talent or for a laugh. But it's not funny.
Direction: 0/10 no sign of any
Special FX: none, bad prosthetics and rubber models
Acting: 0/10, no redeeming features
Soundtrack: a series of unmixed 'metal' records for which replays and credits are given at the end
Locations: unfortunately not a tropical island as suggested by the opening screen text but some woodland in USA
