EXTENDED SYNOPSIS: A band of hunters in the rain forest brutally slay a group of pigs, not for food or clothing, but for the simple joy of killing. During the night, Guariba (Dion Mihaljovsky), the youngest member of the hunting party, witnesses a woman (Emile de Ravin) bestowing deadly kisses on all the hunters. These kisses suck the life from the men’s bodies, leaving only empty husks behind. After all of the hunters are dead, she kisses the animal carcasses, bringing them back to life. The following morning, Guariba is taunted by the voice of his dead father. Guariba runs to greet him, but he only finds Dar (Daniel Goddard) and Tao (Jackson Raine). After hearing Guariba's story, Dar knows that it was the Demon Curupira, the protector of animals, who took the lives of the hunting party. While the trio follows Curupira's tracks, Dar remembers how he became the BeastMaster. When he was younger, Curupira saved him from the Terrons who murdered his tribe. Because Dar's father saved several animals, Curupira promised him she would give Dar the powers of the BeastMaster. But, Dar would first have to complete a test. For three days, Dar lay motionless on the ground as if dead. Insects, snakes and vermin covered his body. On the third day, Curupira, disguised as Dar's long-lost love |
Kyra (Natalie Mendoza), came to him offering water and comfort, but Dar did not flinch. As the third day ended, Dar rose from the ground and was attacked by animals which tore him to pieces. Curupira gathered Dar's body parts and put him back together, making Dar the BeastMaster.
Later, Dar, Tao and Guariba find Curupira. Dar convinces her to let the boy and his tribe live if they promise never to enter the forest again. Guariba returns to his village to tell the others about Curupira, carrying the empty husk that was his father, but because they don't believe the story, the villagers can't see what he's carrying. They tie him up and enter the forest to search for the hunting expedition. Fearful of the outcome, Guariba manages to escape and returns to the forest where he finds Dar. They locate Curupira, and Guariba pleads for the lives of his people. At Guariba's suggestion, Curupira agrees to work together with the tribe rather than be at odds.
