Rent The Green Inferno (2013)

Exciting, Enjoyable, Gory Rainforest Horror Movie which Exposes Green Hypocrisy - The Green Inferno review by PV

I enjoyed this - a neat little simple story. It's be ELI ROTH who made HOSTEL so we know what to expect. Grand Guignol and then some.

But the story was solid, the character arcs efficient, the costumes, make-up and special effects fun, and the lush seething rainforest as horrific as ever full of creepy crawlies and dangers unseen.

No doubt the usual pc woke BLM academic types won;t like the portrayal of native tribes as blood-thirsty barbarians - however, that is what so many were like in pre-colonial lands, with slavery, massacres, torture, and human sacrifice standard in pre-colonial Africa, for example. Cannibalism too. So good to Eli Roth for running with it. Romanticisng such lost tribes and pre-colonial Africa/Asia is actually deeply racist. Pre-colonial lands were NOT Wakanda or a Michael Jackson video in real life actually. They were monstrously awful mainly. Watch Mountains of the Moon.

The green theme is there, especially green hypocrisy and the way zealots can lose their humanity - no coincidence that the fascist and Nazis and Hitler were closely connected to the Green movement (back to the earth, blood and earth etc). Not so sure re the FGM theme - one to tick the #Metoo femi-box, that one - but absurd it's made out to be the worst thing ever - when compared to the other horrors portrayed. I think a horrible death trumps circumcision (and millions of boys mutilated against their will worldwide every year too).

A great shame it is all spoilt by the epilogue - ending (NO SPOILERS). My eyes rolled and heart sank at that trite twee finale so I docked a star, so I give this 3 stars instead of 4.

Reminds me of a film whose name I cannot remember about human organ harvesting in South America. Watch with the sublime APOCALYTO, maybe Mel Gibson's only decent film as director.

No surprises here. - The Green Inferno review by MW

Given the director's track record, no prizes for guessing this is a fairly extreme offering. Students crash in the jungle and get captured then eaten by cannibals. The title comes from the original working title of Cannibal Holocaust (a much better film). It's supposedly a comment on the rape of the Environment with a bit of FGM thrown in for good measure. Acting and script are on a par with your local school play. Roth always does good gore though. Alright if you like this sort of thing.

Gore fest - The Green Inferno review by CP Customer

The acting quite simple and not up to much really same as the script. It is a bit of a gore film if that's what you like most , you will get loads here. The film has a message of destroying natural land that is already taken and not ours . Mostly just based on gore though.
