''The River'' is an American television series about an expedition to find explorer Dr. Emmet Cole, who disappeared six months ago while exploring the Amazon. It is made by the director of ''ParanormalActivity'', in the [[FoundFootageFilms Found Footage]] format. ThatOtherWiki describes it as "paranormal/adventure/horror".

* BilingualDialogue: Jahel only speaks Spanish but appears to understand English. Her father Emilio speaks Spanish and English, but other characters (like Lincoln, Sammy, and Tess) appear to only speak elementary Spanish.

* ClusterFBomb: Lincoln drops one when they find the [[ManiacMonkeys monkey with the doll mask]]. Given the network though, the whole thing is [[SoundEffectBleep bleeped out]].
