Review of The Green Inferno (2013) by Trilobiteg — 13 Feb 2016

Eli Roth's gore shock horror piece started out generally well. What is barbaric? Well, everyone is. The so called 'good guys from the west' to the vicious 'jungle people', which also counts as the timber men.

There is nothing civil about this movie, everyone is greedy in some respects with their own self-absorbed drives. What stops this film from reaching higher potential is it's derivative script. Some of the worst screen writing I've ever seen along with pretty mediocre acting combined.

The Green Inferno overall will be impressive to most gore fans, but for everyone else, some of it's gore is just stupid and meaningless. And one huge unresolved arc hanging at the end creates an unsatisfying atmosphere around the green inferno, a foreshadowing circle jerk.
