Review of The Green Inferno (2013) by Tjman09 — 12 Oct 2015

The Green Inferno is a disturbing gorey experience that attempts to make gore and killing an art form. Going in I knew Eli Roth had a gore fetish, so I expected some harsh killing, but the film was even more gorey than I expected, and was a little hard to watch.

Beware that the film isn't really a horror movie in the sense that it's scary, it's more like Saw with cannibals. This movie takes gore and killing so far that it's really only for those who enjoy overly gorey films.

The acting, dialogue, and story are all weak, but the film's preliminary focus is more directed at how many ways can people be brutally murdered. It's the focus on killing that exemplifies that Roth didn't care as much about story, he wanted to take killing and gore, and make them an art form, like Tarantino.

The movie did have a dark sense of humor, one example is that these people are being killed, while the tribe has a bunch of cows and pigs that remain untouched. In the end this movie is a cinematic experience, if you see it you'll probably leave the theater with an upset stomach, that being said this film's not for children or the weak stomached.
