Review of The Green Inferno (2013) by Ezra S — 04 Oct 2015

The Green Inferno is a huge let down! I went to go see this film with some buddies and we were looking forward to see a fun, gore-fest of a movie. The movie drags along for the first half of the film, while the main characters prance around and protest. Although, when the gore does start, it picks up towards the end, there is really something. There is an over abundance of dark humor in this film. At times it works, but at other times, it makes us uncomfortable. I happened to question if it was right to laugh at certain times. Not only that, but the performances are just over the top. Some work, but others don't. When I talk about the performances that don't work, I'm mainly referring to Ariel Levy's. It is completely over the top and just so phony. Lorenza Izzo was good and Sky Ferreira was absolutely hilarious. The film was really intense, but that was the only decent aspect of the film.

Rating: D+.
