What was the point of the film? It didn’t satisfy on the levels of plot, characters, or gore. My face as I watched this movieīy the time the film finished (and horrifically teased a sequel), I was left shrugging my shoulders.

Perhaps the mutilation talked about in a college classroom promised a much more sickening gory scene, but that never arose (and even if that particular scene occurred, we’ve seen that before, in ‘Anti-Christ’). But my stomach barely turned once, apart from the part where the women were checked for virginity. Maybe my mind has been dulled by the torture porn resurgence that ‘Saw’ kicked off. There’s a gory dismemberment of a fat group member, complete with eye-gouging and tongue-ripping, but that’s as gruesome as it gets. Instead of gore, we get a girl experiencing diarrhoea. When the plane crashes, I was prepared for some hardcore, disgusting, fleshy gore. That’s what the latter films of ‘Saw’ relied on. But sometimes the gore can make up for the characterization. In ‘The Green Inferno,’ I could not care less about any character’s fate. Of course, to care about the characters means caring about their plight and eventual torture/murder/escape. I can only remember Alejandro’s name: all the other characters are horror movie stereotypes whose names I never caught.īut hey, it’s a horror movie, isn’t it? Sometimes the characters don’t matter. The actress who plays Justine tries her best with the material, but it’s all to no avail. She must have seen other Roth films and thought it’s best to stay put, rather than go on vacation…because that’s when people get their limbs cut off and Achilles heels sliced. Justine’s friend has some of the worst lines in the film, but thankfully she’s only in it until the group flies to the Amazon. If you survive the excruciating first half of dire dialogue and paper-thin characters, you won’t be rewarded. There’s not much more to it than that, to be honest. The group chain themselves to bulldozers, film a private militia, get their fifteen minutes of fame and leave…but their plane crashes and the native tribe imprison the survivors and torture/eat/try to cut their clitorises off. There’s also a tribe of natives living there (whom we see partially at the beginning of the film).

The cute foreign guy, Alejandro, decides to take the group on a vacation to a part of the Amazon forest threatened by an evil corporation. The group’s motto ‘Don’t think, act’, is probably what was going through Roth’s mind when he wrote/directed this film. Justine is a fresh(wo)man, who takes a fancy to an activist group…or more accurately, the cute foreign guy at the head of the group. Roth’s homage to films like ‘Cannibal Holocaust’ is derivative, boring, and even disappointing in the gore factor… But you can’t validate a negative review unless you view the product yourself, I guess, so I sat down and watched ‘The Green Inferno.’ Unfortunately, the reviews were correct. Halloween is approaching, so what better time than now to watch a horror film? Looking through my ever-expanding pile of unwatched DVDs, I found Eli Roth’s ‘The Green Inferno.’ How did it get there? I certainly don’t remember buying it, as I had heard/read terrible reviews about it.
