That’s a long slog to get through in order to get to the actual horror in the film, and it does begin to get a bit on the slow side after awhile. Aaron is butchered right in front of his friends (who are locked in a cage made of strong tree branches), and their panic when they realize that they’re next on the menu is palpable and terrifying.īut the film doesn’t get to splashing blood and guts across the screen until nearly 45 minutes have passed by, and that’s a major flaw. It’s even more off putting because this character, Jonah ( Aaron Burns) is arguably the most likable character in the film.
And we quickly find out that Roth has indeed done his homework, because the scene featuring the first of the activists to be slaughtered and eaten is among the bloodiest and flat out disturbing scenes of the year. Movies like Cannibal Holocaust (1980), Cannibal Ferox (1981) & Emmanuel and the Last Cannibals aka Trap Them and Kill Them (1977). The survivors are taken upstream to the tribes village – and then it gets very, very ugly.įor those of you who didn’t know, The Green Inferno is Roth’s homage to the classic cannibal films of the 70’s & 80’s. To make matters even more worse, the people of the tribe are cannibals, and their next dinner has crash landed right in their backyard. But it’s after the crash that their troubles really begin, when they’re beset by the very same tribe they were there to protect. Most, but not all, of the passengers on the plane die, but not Justine, Lorenzo and a few others. But she has very little time to fret over the fact that she’d been set up because the plane experiences a mechanical failure and crashes somewhere in the forest. After some celebrating, the group heads back to the plane where Justine finds out the truth about what Alejandro was really after. Amazingly, the protest works, and the loggers back off from their project. She finds herself attracted to the groups leader, Alejandro ( Ariel Levy), and despite the protestations of her father – she gets on a small plane with Alejandro’s group of activists. The particular section of forest that they go to is in danger of being destroyed by loggers who have no interest in the tribe that lives there. Justine ( Lorenza Izzo), a young and impressionable college student, finds herself participating in a activism project where the group she’s hooked up with chain themselves to trees in the Amazon Rain forest to protect the indigenous tribe that lives there. So the world finally gets to see Eli’s tribute to cannibal films, but is it going to satiate us, or just leave us hungry for a better movie? Understandably, there has been a lot of discussion in the horror world regarding it, and what were the reasons for its delay? But here we are in late September, 2015 and the dreaded Blumhouse films (Actually a subdivision of Blumhouse called Tilt) has picked it up for distribution. 2 (2007), and his latest directorial effort, The Green Inferno, has been stuck in distribution hell for over a year.
