Eli Roth is that really cool friend you have that you love hanging out with but he keeps asking you to come check out his band. And his band sucks.

Bit of a challenge to sit through, which is disappointing as the premise had some potential. The dialogue was rank, the characters were unlikeable, the acting wasn't great and I think there was something off with the editing - it just didn't flow effectively. Even the gore didn't have the effect it should have. The only thing I really liked was the way the colours leapt off the screen. The old Italian cannibal films weren't classics, but they had loads more charm than this.

For whatever little this may be worth, this is easily Eli Roth's best film. I respect it for mounting an attempt at a return to real, visceral, gore-soaked, pulse-pounding horror. There are a couple pretty great sequences, albeit some dragging and repetition between them. The movie also should have ended two minutes earlier (and not had a stupid-ass end credits tag). Lorenza Izzo is great as the protagonist; the camera just loves her and her big doe eyes.

As usual with Eli Roth, great premise & potential, RETARDED execution. All the pieces are there, the setting, the beautiful gore sequences. But like his naive American characters, Roth always thinks he has something profound to say, and compared to his Italian grindhouse influences, he's just dumb and unimaginative. Dated valley girl dialogue (Sky Ferraira actually says 'activism is so gay!'), shitty cinematography (the college scenes particularly amateurish & overlit) and braindead 'satire'.

A modern-day "Cannibal Holocaust" has potential. However, put in the hands of Eli Roth, there's a scene where the bad man jerks off in a cell after watching a woman slit her own throat. Roth tries to have a jokey, gore-filled film with a social message, but it...ugh, I hate talking about this film. Forget it, Criticker, it's Elitown.

While this wasn't nearly as bad as thought it would be, it still doesn't offer anything new. Then again, I really hate all of these gore-driven films, so I probably should have known better. Eli Roth's directing is terrible and the quality doesn't actually look too bad, but it has some clumsy writing. Should be good if you enjoy a lot of blood.

I'm saddened that this didn't turn out the way it could have, should have. The entire possibility of the rogue going native to save the tribe, as was initially teased, was entirely missing. Rather we get a sappy tacked on "they helped me" ending.

Was there not enough money in the budget to give these actors lessons? Besides star Izzo, everyone else seemed like they've never been in front of a camera before. The plot is so thin that it doesn't deserve mentioning...this is all about the gore, but it becomes "bore" all too quickly. I LOL'd when shortly after watching their friend get chopped up to pieces live and then eaten, the group of prisoners are grossed out by one of them defecating in the cage, complete with cartoony fart noises.

i will never get tarantino. eli roth must be one hell of a person, because filmmaking-wise he sucks a minivan through a garden hose. absolutely nothing works, not the humor, not the social commentary, and especially not the horror. might just be me, but if there's people getting butchered and eaten right in front of you, shouldn't you care in some way? any way??! or maybe i was just too distracted by that delicious serving of liver i had with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

Has the edge over the 80's cannibal movies in terms of production at least, and it does have some well executed horror. About mid-film, there is real dread going, and I think it's probably Roth's least shitty movie. It actually might have escaped shittiness altogether if it ditched the gag-worthy cliches, Roth's loathsomely infantile humor, all those extremely unlikely twists and the goofy ending

It's clear Eli Roth is a fan of the 70's italian cannibal genre. What he seems less sure about is what made it work. What doesn't work is a pointless 40-45 min sojourn into uni life where we hear mindless prattling of SJW millenials. This is supposed to build some mix of audience sympathy (maybe schaudenfreude) when they get munched. However, what it really does is just bore. The jungle and natives stuff was great though and shows Eli at least has that part of the genre down.

Roth is just retreading the same ground with the Hostel series, but this time there's a twist. A bunch of cannibal natives are eating the lib-tard protesters who have no idea what they're protesting, unabashedly meddling in other country's matters. I'd be delighted if it weren't full of bad acting, bad writing, and unimaginative gore. So what does human flesh taste like, you wonder? sweet, sweet righteousness, that's what. It's a shame I have to rate this so poorly.

The satire is pretty low-brow, especially compared to the twisted premise and commentary already present in Cannibal Holocaust. However, Eli Roth and Gregory Nicotero provide some good, characteristic horror gore / torture porn, along with some pretty twisted comedy thrown in the middle that should give genre fans what they want. Sadly, all four of the endings sucked ass.

Cut out 20 mins from the beginning and you have a nice little exploitation throwback, as it is it's a bloated mess with a few shallow attempts at satire and some great gore effects

Gore was unimpressive and nudity almost non-existing, it all felt quite lame. Don't waste your time and rewatch one of the classics of the genre instead.

This movie could have been really scary, but like the Italian 70's cannibal flicks it was mostly a campy gore fest, but with a silly, downright preposterous ending. The trailer scared me a lot more.

Lots of red, splattery gore, and Roth's wicked, mocking sense of humor is intact. A certain grinding repetitiveness sets in after awhile, though, and the production values--such as they are--leave a whole helluva lot to be desired. Some memorable moments, to be sure, but overall, it's sort of desperately chintzy and not really a whole lot of fun.

But the fact that social activists are made to look like vain and foolish "slactivists" isn't her main worry. "It's very dangerous," she says, to indiscriminately raise the specter of cannibalism when depicting tribespeople. "[Such perceptions have often] been used an excuse to wipe them out. [Historically] these stories have created a racist view of uncontacted and isolated groups." (pluggedin.com)

Wow. I never ever thought I'd see a film that somehow manages to cheapen the legacy of Ruggero Deodato. The attempts at comedy or satire are so insanely misjudged it makes The Last House on the Left look like a classy and seamless piece of horror cinema. Made even more absurd by the fact that it actually gets some elements absolutely right (mostly the setting and gore). Eli Roth needs to be treated for some kind of weird bipolar disorder. Almost worth seeing for its genuinely startling failures.

Only 3 of the 12 characters were likeable. This means I couldn't stand 75 percent of the people I was watching for one hour and forty minutes. The story line in this film really kept my attention. I couldn't predict what was going to take place for the main characters to meet the tribe, and it was adventurous to see how it unfolded. I found myself at the edge of my seat on a few occasions during moments of attempted escape. The gore was done well and served the story. Eli Roth was constantly w

There just isn't anything "good" about this film. If you like gore, it's probably passable, but from all the Eli Roth films I've seen, this is probably the worst. None of the characters are sympathetic, and the story completely loses steam and almost runs into a dead end. The ending is also a little iffy and a bit nonsensical, it just doesn't sit well.

Roth's attack on misguided activism is juvenile, but it does contain a salient point: that social justice campaigns are potentially dangerous when they are grossly misinformed, and that their hidden dangers go largely unrecognised due to ideological blindness. In this case, clueless leftists are eaten alive by a tribe of cannibals they vowed to protect from 'evil' capitalist forces. The saturated colors are appealingly gaudy, the violence is brutal and Roth's wife is surprisingly good.

I kinda figured I knew what I was getting when I saw Eli Roth's name attached to this. This ain't really for me. I'm all for gory, blood filled messes if it contributes meaningfully to the film, this doesn't by any means. It's just another horror film that relies on violent imagery to keep your attention and while I'm not native at all, I wouldn't be surprised if this offended some. This just really exists for no reason, but I guess that goes for much of Roth's work.

If you aren't hung up on snarling your academic fangs (over a cannibal film) and whinging about Green Inferno's clumsy satire... there's a good time to be had for horror fans looking for a fun film. Admittedly the tone is inconsistent along with varying success at horrific and comedic moments, but when it hits the right notes, it's giddying fun. At its heart is a pulse of joy and genre appreciation that made this a delight for me.

Roth's more urgent style than usual -- it's a way not to seem more straightforward, raw and gory with handheld cam -- but it's too bad there isn't much of an interesting narrative around its gruesome set-pieces -- protesters chain themselves in Amazon trees to avoid corporate mayhem, only to be eaten alive by cannibals. Lovely provocative Roth bits all around -- diarrhea in the cage, dude masturbating to let off some stress in the middle of tension, girl defending the tribe as pacific to UN.

It's not the worst movie ever made but it's not a good one either. I don't get the point the movie is trying to make, is about how activism is useless and protecting minorities blindly is bad? Because if so, this is really dumb. I'm not even sure what the message is about. Other than that, decent exploitation flick, the shart and weed scenes were next level dumb, but the rest was okayish.

Has the kind of South Park mentality where the the thing it's going after is just people caring too much about issues. I think he's trying to be be profound but he really is just one of the stupidest filmmakers alive. This has some shining moments tho. I liked the practical effects used for the death scenes and the plane crash and subsequent sequence were handled well. It's a stupid movie, but I guess I'm stupid too because I liked it.

I need to applaud myself for being able to make it all the way through this movie. If Eli Roth was trying to make an Italian exploitation film as intentionally terrible as possible, he managed to do it. Horrible characters, cheap effects, horrendous sound design (seriously?), no plot, and bland direction make The Green Inferno a mess on every level.
