''The Cannibal in the Jungle'' was a 2015 [[FoundFootageFilms Found Footage]] {{Mockumentary}} by Creator/AnimalPlanet in the vein of ''Film/MermaidsTheBodyFound'' and ''Film/MegalodonTheMonsterSharkLives'' about an alleged cannibalism case from Flores in 1977, where an ornithologist who was accused of killing and eating his American colleague and Indonesian guide but maintained his innocence to the modern day by insisting they were killed by an unknown species resembling the Ebu Gogo. A fossil discovery in 2004 of a new species of hominid that once lived in Flores of similar description and recovered tapes from the 1977 expedition begin to show he was telling the truth.

* KangarooCourt: Tim was implied to be subjected to one. While his story ''was'' unbelievable, he was also being tried in Indonesia in the 70s, under a military dictatorship. It's shown the Indonesian officials were convinced from the outset he was guilty [[spoiler:and didn't even bother looking at the film in his camera they'd found.]]

* ConspicuousCGI: The "dramatic re-enactment" portions of the film look very much like a documentary of this type would, up to and including CGI that stands out a bit. Perhaps regrettably, [[spoiler: the actual footage of the creatures which is found late in the film employs the same effects, potentially jarring the viewer out of the suspension of disbelief]].

* ArtisticLicensePhysics: Square cube law means a ''Homo sapien'' twice the height of a ''Homo floresiensis'' will have eight times the stride, lung capacity, heart volume, and muscle mass; meaning they'd be much faster overland. As such it be very hard for the latter to chase down the former.
* ArtisticLicensePaleontology: The Ebu Gogo zig-zag this. They're the right height, in the right location, and use the right tools to be ''Homo floresiensis''. They also have traits most think ''Homo floresiensis'' had, such as speech and fire use. However, ''Homo floresiensis'' was not half covered in fur, couldn't swing through the trees, and almost certainly wouldn't consider a much larger, adult ''Homo sapien'' as food. ''H. floresiensis'' in life would have looked like a very short caveman with slightly distorted facial builds such as larger eyes and lacking chins. The Ebu Gogo in this look more like furry, short orcs who strangely look green tinted in some shots.

* VoiceChangeling: Those instances someone hears a slight distorted voice yelling or whispering "Run"? [[spoiler: It's the Egu Gogo mimicking the last thing one of their victims shouted to try and attract or confuse more humans.]]
