The Green Inferno (2013)

The green inferno isn't super good but still i'm not that convinced that this is the worst thing Eli Roth has made.

Of course, I watched the original Paradiso Infernale (The Green Inferno) of 1988 in my youth (still on VHS if I remember right). Cannibals and zombies, ah, those good old and exciting days of gore and thrash and non-p.c.-fun.I was never much impressed by Eli Roth's movies, be it the Hostel ones or Cabin Fever. Knock Knock was a funny experience for me, regarding watching my Neo-hero Mr. Reeves playing that poor guy, getting shaken up by those two evil chicks. The Green Inferno is an okay to good movie - if you know what to expect: a simple story and a lot of gore and disgust. A well done tribute to the original directed by Antonio Climati. May only complain - it takes a little too much time til the fun gets started.Recommendation only for the aficionado of cannibals and zombieland ;)

I have to say, I was looking forward to seeing this movie when someone mentioned it on a horror forum saying how explicit it was and shocking. All in all, I was disappointed. With it having potential, I thought it would be an all out gore fest...I mean its a cannibal tribe for christs sake! But to be honest the gore wasn't well executed. Even though the first death did leave me feeling uneasy (nowhere near as uneasy as the film 'Cannibal holocaust' made me feel) because it was extremely gory and "kind of" well done, the rest just made me feel bored...Not only that but it came across like the gore was very cartoonish and more comedy based in some parts. I know that the film did have some comedy elements and I have nothing against that in horror but some of it was just darn right weird. I'm talking about the goddamn NOT NEEDED wanking scene by the annoying guy which I just found ridiculous. Within the situation they was all in why would he start doing that? unless he was aroused by it all or just plain psychotic...who knows? Also not forgetting to mention the diarrhea scene that one of the girls did randomly because she was feeling unwell. Even though the group had just witnessed one of their friends being dismembered, their friend having diarrhea was seeming to make them more disgusted then anything??? they seemed to show more disgust for that and the guy wanking more than they did anything else that happened in the movie? How does that make sense at all?! Even though they'd seen their friends die one by one...Okay then. Overall, the acting was terrible. I did find myself at times wanting them to escape but there was just a lack of character from all of them which just left you really not caring. I was also disappointed when the main character (notice how I don't remember any of the characters names? that's how unmemorable they are)got home and was talking about her experience and then was basically sticking up for the cannibal tribe even after everything they had done, killing all her group/friends in the most horrific way and eating them in front of her, she seemed to change her way of thought towards them. If you was personally in that situation would you be sticking up for the tribe? NO WAY. There was only one kid from the tribe who lead her to safety, hardly a reason to change your thoughts really after everything she'd been through. WEIRD. I would not like to forget to mention the AWFUL and only jump-scare at the end which was plain terrible and of poor taste. I think rating this 3 out of 10 was too good of a rating for it after me going over the film again. I'm being generous, don't bother seeing this unless you was a mind numbing kind of horror film to watch with friends and maybe criticise throughout.

Watched this awful movie on Netflix, well half of it then turned it off. Should have had a warning re age suitability. Extremely disturbing and graphic who in their right minds wants to watch a human being being eaten by cannibals and then fed to their captives. Story line was extremely weak and lame. It was all about how to shock and get as many screams from the audience as possible which it most certainly did exactly that, scream, scream scream. Absolute rubbish film.
