Review of The Green Inferno (2013) by Kenny N — 11 Oct 2016
One star for some impressive gore effects. If Eli Roth knows nothing else about movie making, he knows how to slather on the blood and guts.A lot of people have criticized his overly violent horror films for being devoid of anything other than overt violence.
No characters to identify with, no plots connected to logic, just death and destruction. And the same applies here. The characters here are painfully one dimensional, so their slaughter at the hands of cannibals is hard to get too worked up about.
But I have a question: who is this movie FOR? The genre of cannibals imprisoning, torturing, and devouring Westerners is a classic (one of the most hard to watch horror films "Cannibal Holocaust" is considered to be the master class on this type of filmmaking.
) But this was all back in '60s and '70s. There are no more cannibal tribes in the Amazon today. So these events could not have happened today. Ultimately it doesn't matter. Yes gore galore but STILL nothing else for horror fans who want anything else from their movies.
