The Green Inferno is a standard Eli Roth fare - gore galore, cannibalism, and occasional humor - set in the Amazon rainforest. The acting is terrible right off the bat, but thankfully it isn't an issue halfway through the movie when the body count starts up. The characters themselves are paper thin.
Been working on this one for a while. Had to cut out some stuff to please YT. In fact, the movie suggests that it's OK to hate other cultures, to treat women poorly, and to send fellow human beings to their doom if we don't agree with them. "The Green Inferno" is, in that sense, not so much a knock against Occupy Wall-Street-style slacktivists (though it is also that) so much as it's an accomplished, mean-spirited horror film about a heroine who is too young to understand the motives for her do-gooder idealism.
The Green Inferno movie reviews & Metacritic score: A group of student activists travel from New York City to the Amazon to save a dying tribe but If you love a gritty, gory, suspenseful horror movie the Green Inferno is for you. It lacks in certain areas like character building and the CGI isn't great. Ultimately, "The Green Inferno" resuscitates cannibal movies in a way that they possibly need to be — even if only as an alternative to ghost stories and slasher films — but doesn't make a lasting impression. And when you're serving up as unique and decidedly exotic a feast as Roth is here, it. Eli Roth's cannibal-movie homage hits theaters a full two years after its fest premiere, and wasn't worth the wait. For anyone who thought the "Hostel" movies were a barrel of laughs but needed more cannibalism and less cultural sensitivity, helmer Eli Roth is finally.

Starring: Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Daryl Sabara. But in The Green Inferno, Roth punishes his characters for being naïve enough to think that social action can bring about positive change. What happens next begins nightmarishly and gets worse.
For anyone who thought the "Hostel" movies were a barrel of laughs but needed more cannibalism and less cultural sensitivity, helmer Eli Roth is finally back in theaters with "The Green Inferno." This dopey homage to an infamously unappetizing subgenre of grindhouse filmmaking made its festival debut. THE GREEN INFERNO is politically muddled, thematically confused, lacking in any narrative momentum, and filled with some of the most egregiously The Green Inferno is responsible for giving me the biggest laugh I've had while watching a movie all year. Perhaps he can now make a movie about homelessness, obesity and global warming. I'll try not to spoil too much here: The Green Inferno centers on a group of American college student-activists who travel deep into the Peruvian jungle to save it from the crush of coming bulldozers.
