From acclaimed horror director, Eli Roth, The Green Inferno follows New York college student Justine, who meets a student activist Alejandro when he goes on a hunger strike on behalf of underpaid janitors. Smitten, Justine agrees to help Alejandro undertake his next project: to save the desertcart. Justine soon learns to regret her decision when their plane crashes in the Peruvian jungle and the students discover that they are not alone, and that no good deed goes unpunished as they are held captive by a cannibalistic tribe. Review: It is called a horror MOVIE for a reason - First of all, I just finished this movie and it will take me a bit to take it all in, which is a great sign of a terrific horror movie. However, I am reading these other reviews and can tell you that at NO time, did I take this movie to be racist or pro-animal activist! Come on people!! You are going to PC this industry right out the window! To say this is racist ( against whom, I have NO idea) or that because no animals were harmed that it wasn't true "cannibalist horror" movie!! Put your big boy pants on and just don't watch it if violence offends you, it's called a MOVIE for a reason. Now, as for my actual review. What I have always really liked about Eli Roth's films is that they start out bright and sunny with a chance for you to get to know to the main characters which he does again with Green Inferno. It's nice to develop a character like Justine and Jonah so that when the bad stuff starts going down you actually do feel real sympathy for them, both characters were acted terrifically well, by the way. Since I am of the age when movies weren't allowed to show violence towards real animals then I have not seen Cannibal Holocaust, nor do I care to, because I don't want to see live animals tortured and killed. So, to those of us under 50, quit wondering about that other movie and trying to compare it. This is a movie made by someone who understands you don't actually have to kill something to make a movie, that is why it is again, called a MOVIE with "special effects". The scenery and cinematography are fantastic and the twist on how the college students turned up kidnapped by the same tribe they came to protect is priceless horror film making. Anyone who remembers what is like to be a college freshman can kind of understand how these kids got themselves into this situation in the first place. They were trying to fit in, trying to make a positive change in the world and then we see them ruthlessly used as pawns by a government activist who specializes in using fresh young, sensitive minds. Especially the one whose father is a lawyer for the United Nations. The real villain, just like in so many Roth films isn't so much the one who perpetrated the violence but in the "ordinary people" who stood to profit from it. Saving the rainforest still is a good cause and I know most people aren't ignorant enough to let a movie deflect them from that. Overall, it's creepy, gruesome, unsettling and has one of the best endings I've seen in a while! Make sure and watch through the credits! I say a big Bravo to Roth! And, hope for a sequel and answer to that mystery ending. And a big "grow up" for you guys that watch a movie about cannibals and get offended by violence. I think a very poiniant scene is at the end when Justine is forced to stay on her side of the river with the human cannibals or cross it and take her chances with a wild leopard, she inevitably chooses to cross and take her chances with the leopard. Can't say that I blame her! Again, good show! Review: I Don't Give A F... What Reviews or Critics Have To Say , I Love This Film , Eli Roth and Lorenza Izzo Are The Greatest. - Today is Ms Antonieta Pari's Birthday (May 31), and it's night over here. To honor her I watched the movie that I knew her from, Eli Roth's The Green Inferno. This movie is a tribute to classic cannibal films from the 70s and 80s, a homage to "Cannibal Holocaust." Antonieta plays a leader of a cannibal tribe, and her performance is terrifying and frightening, with her looks. She's just incredibly fearsome and amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her films. Lorenza Izzo, who is Eli's wife, was the leading actress and did an outstanding job. The rest of the cast and crew was also awesome. It has that disturbing bloody gore, with scenes that will make you go WTF. It also has comedy, with a mixture of the bizarre that is guaranteed to shock viewers. I have seen lots of bad reviews for this movie and I just don't understand why. Some people says it's gory and some says it's not gory enough. Everyone has their opinions, but for me everything was perfect and it's in its order. Eli Roth really worked hard for this feature. It's not easy making a movie like this. He trained real life villagers who had no experience in acting. Lorenza risked her life in a scene where she nearly drowns. They busted their asses for the movie, and some people just don't give them credit. I truly respect and love them 100% for this bloody, dark, good, intense, adventurous fun ride. One of the reasons I loved it is that there is no animal cruelty in it, and I salute Eli Roth for that. Eli and Lorenza prove that they are one of the best duos in the Horror World. Whether you love it or hate it, this is one of those films people will be talking about for ages. Back in 2013, my Dad was so thrilled when he heard that Eli was doing a cannibal film. He was a huge fan of Eli's films. The sad part is he passed away in June. Fast forward to 2015, and it was released in my country on September 24, my Dad's Birthday. I was like, Dad, I am gonna celebrate your Birthday by watching the movie you waited for. I watched it on the big screen and it was heavily censored, but I still enjoyed it. In January 2016 I finally got to watch it uncut for the first time on iTunes. Later I got it on DVD, and this is a movie that every horror fan out there should own. And I'm so excited that there's a sequel in the works titled "Beyond The Green Inferno," and I truly hope Antonieta Pari reprises her role as the Queen Of The Cannibal Clan!!!

Great Movie to watch

This was a gritty movie and opens up the window to the world of cannibalism, in other cultures, deep in the Amazon. I was on the edge of my seat, while watching this movie. You have to see this movie
F**D
This is a good movie for anyone that likes action with blood & horror mixed in.

Honestamente, compré ésta película porque el precio estaba excelente, nunca la había visto, pero Eli Roth es uno de mis directores de horror favoritos así que le dí una oportunidad y no me decepcionó para nada. La actuación es bastante decente y el Gore es muy real. La portada del blu ray vino un poquito maltratada pero la definición de la película es excelente!

Il film è un omaggio a Ruggero Deodato e a Cannibal Holocaust fin dal titolo..è un film cruento ma la violenza non è avulsa dal contesto, la fotografia e i colori sono impressionanti, le situazioni ironiche si integrano nella storia (che non è un banale Cannibal movie, anche in questo segue Deodato) il protagonista maschile risulta odioso fin dai primi secondi ed è funzionale al messaggio del film..da vedere

Un très bon film sur les cannibales, certainement très exagéré, mais après tout, ce n'est qu'un film. Trop gore pour les jeunes enfants, pour un public averti.

--- Zum Film --- Eli Roth scheint es darauf anzulegen, Regisseure wie Tinto Brass zu beerben, die ihre Skandalfilme durch den Einsatz von extremer grafischer Gewalt vermarkten. In dem gelinde ausgedrückt "speziellen" Gewerbe von Exploitation und Gore hat er mit HOSTEL bereits einen modernen Vertreter des Genres vorgelegt. THE GREEN INFERNO von 2015 knüpft rund zehn Jahre später an diesen markerschütternden Standard an. Sofern Eli Roth auf einem Cover in Erscheinung tritt, sollten Zartbesaitete zu einer anderen Blu-ray greifen, während Horrorgenießern einmal mehr das Fürchten gelehrt wird. Eine Studentengruppe tut sich als Umweltaktivisten im Amazonasgebiet von Peru auf, um gegen die Abholzung und gleichzeitige Zerstörung eines Ureinwohnerstamms aufmerksam zu machen. Auf soliden Säulen fußt das Handlungsgerüst, das sich nicht bloß vierzig Minuten Zeit nimmt, um gleichwohl tolle und abartige Charakterzeichnungen abzugeben, sondern auch um die malerische Naturkulisse des Urwalds und wenige exotische Tiere in Augenschein zu nehmen. Die Reise nach Ruhm und Anerkennung für ihr Werk durch hohe Streamingaufrufe des Aktivismus treibt die Studenten letztlich in die Fänge eines Stammes, bei dem uralte Riten vonstatten gehen - einschließlich einem gehörigen Happen an Kannibalismus. Eindeutig verbeugt sich THE GREEN INFERNO einem modernen Reboot gleichend vor dem in Deutschland beschlagnahmten Exploitationhorror von CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST, der von den Italienern im Jahr 1980 gedreht wurde. Verglichen mit dem alten Schinken ist GREEN INFERNO sogar noch eine Spur zahmer, da (zum Glück!) keine Vergewaltigungen innerhalb des Filmverlaufs zu sehen sind. Das geht merkwürdigerweise nie zu Kosten des Nervenkitzels, der trotzdem über hundert Minuten lang zum Bersten gespannt bleibt. Menschen werden gegessen und durchs fähige Spezialeffekte-Make-Up von Greg Nicotero furchteinflößend zum Verzehr angerichtet. Nicotero wird immer dann gerufen, wenn besonders authentisch aussehende blutige Sachverhalte gefordert werden. Was Tom Savini als Maskenbildner in den Achtzigern war, ist Nicotero für die Neuzeit, gehen doch so ziemlich alle guten Ekelwunden der amerikanischen Film- und Fernsehwelt auf seine Kappe, angefangen bei THE WALKING DEAD, über SCREAM, THE FACULTY bis hin zu HOSTEL, dem anderen großen Eli-Roth-Skandalfilm. Zwischendurch tut sich perfider Humor auf, der die ernste Lage im GREEN INFERNO ein bisschen auflockert. Im Käfig kurz vor der Schlachtung zu mastubieren... das muss man erst einmal bringen! 2015 war ein gutes Beschäftigungsjahr für Hauptdarstellerin Lorenza Izzo. Hier spielt sie die Gute, das liebe Mädchen von nebenan, mit dem man mitfiebert und welches doch unbedingt überleben soll. Im Hollywoodthriller KNOCK KNOCK mit Keanu Reeves, der in etwa zur selben Zeit entsteht, mimt sie die unbarmherzige Böse. Schön, dass sie beides überzeugend ans Publikum bringen kann. Allerdings stiftet der Ausgang der deftigen grünen Hölle etwas Verwirrung und scheint nicht wirklich lohnenswert angelegt zu sein. Das ist ein wenig schade, aber subgenretechnisch gesehen liegt mit THE GREEN INFERNO trotzdem meines Erachtens einer der besten Gore-Filme der letzten zehn Jahre vor, der sich vor stilbildenden und historischen Vertretern der Sparte verbeugt, aber durch seine gut durchdachte Geschichte ans aktuelle Zeitgeschehen anspielt und für sich allein bestehen kann. Sowas gab's davor höchstens in Variationen, aber genauso nie. Ein Horrorfilm, dessen Handlung im gleichen Maße wie sein Drehort den Atem zu rauben wagt, erlebt man in diesem Maße eher selten. Das missverständlich-merkwürdige Ende? Geschenkt! --- Zur Blu-ray --- Glücklicherweise befindet sich THE GREEN INFERNO im Vertrieb der riesigen Universal Pictures, nachdem sie Highlight Film als Eigenvertrieb geschluckt haben. Dadurch darf man mit einem hoch gesetzten Standard an phantastischen HD-Auswertungen auf Blu-ray rechnen. GREEN INFERNO wird auf den ersten Blick also mit einem Wendecover ohne FSK-Aufdruck ausgeliefert und offenbart bei näherem Hinsehen sein Hauptmenü nach Ansicht des Trailers zu BONE TOMAHAWK, einem ähnlichen Film aus der Schmiede von Universal Pictures. Im verlängerten Director's Cut und damit vollkommen ungeschnitten tritt dann der Hauptfilm in Erscheinung, der mit brillanten Farben, scharfen HD-Konturen und echt aussehenden Schwarzwerten vollends aufdrehen kann. Die Drehschauorte wirken in HD eine Spur echter als man es der Standardauflösung zutrauen würde. Tonal komplettiert man das perfekte technische Bild in äußerst druckvollem 5.1 DTS-HD sowohl in deutscher als auch in englischer Sprache. Die Dialoge sind regelrecht laut, während Geräuscheffekte mit vollem Tieftonfundament und darüber hinaus spielerisch verteilt auf alle Lautsprecher aufs Publikum abgefeuert werden. Der Sektor der Sonderausstattung enttäuscht am Ende leider ein wenig, obwohl auf der Rückseite der Blu-ray akribisch genau angegeben wird, wie lange dieses und jenes Extra dauert. Alle Schnippsel zusammengenommen gehen mickrige zehn Minuten lang bestehend aus nichtssagenden Interviews mit Cast und Crew. Zumindest sind die knappen Clips in HD angelegt, genauso wie die Trailershow zu anderen Horrorfilmtipps des Vertriebshauses, die es noch on top dazu gibt und wesentlich mehr zu beeindrucken weiß. Nichtsdestotrotz wissen die technische Umsetzung und nicht zuletzt THE GREEN INFERNO selber auf voller Linie zu überzeugen, sodass man sich einen der besten neueren Horrorschocker in die Filmesammlung stellen sollte - fünf Sterne für die Blu-ray von THE GREEN INFERNO, welche meines Erachtens die Höchstwertung trotz kleinerer Abzüge in der B-Note redlich verdient.
