Green inferno

[Jason Vorhees]

Has anyone seen the green inferno? Is it worth the trip to the movies?

[horcrux2007]

I enjoyed it. It has some good gore and humor, and it's a nice homage to old cannibal movies.

[Morningriser]

I really enjoy Eli Roth's work and want to see it. A nearby theater showed it but I couldn't afford to go see it. I will check it out when it comes to dvd.

[roshiq]

Not as brutal or disturbing as I expected but as horcrux said, it's a pretty decent homage indeed.

Agreed.

[Angra]

Could have done without the short surprise during the credits, but maybe Roth is aiming for yet another franchise. Which is probably fine.

Just wasn't very realistic.

[horcrux2007]

[SPOILERS]

The mid credits scene was stupid. He's planning a sequel called Beyond the Green Inferno, and I'm all for that, but he could have just showed the sister finding Alejandro maybe at the beginning of the next movie. But her randomly finding him on a satellite image was laughable.

[END SPOILERS]



I don't really understand the complaint that it wasn't gory enough because it was really gory for a mainstream horror movie. Maybe it wasn't on the level of the Evil Dead remake, but it was pretty damn brutal. It was about as gruesome as his other movies.

[Baron Von Marlon]

What bothered me the most was the tone.
The mix of serious horror/drama with "comedy" just didn't work imo.
Should've been a serious horror or else an over-the-top gorefest.
And the ending sucked.

P.S. "It relieves the tension."

You should watch more movies. It's really not that gory (it probably is compared to haunted house and ghost movies ::wink::).
And from what I've read it's not much compared to Hostel. Guess that's why so many people are disappointed. But I haven't seen Hostel so I can't compare.

[horcrux2007]

Hostel is less gory than the Green Inferno. I guess people were expecting something like August Underground or Grotesque.

[SpookyVault]

I was pleasantly surprised with the movie. Definitely a good movie to have friends and a few drinks for.

[RidleysDemise]

I ended up viewing the movie by downloading it. I'm glad I didn't make a trip to the theatre in order to see it, though. Not that I was displeased with it, just disappointed. When I read reviews saying such things as viewers were fainting and wretching by watching the film, I expected it to be pretty intense. It wasn't for me, at least. Then again, everyone has different levels on a wide spectrum on what may be considered disturbing or uncomfortable.

No I think people were expecting something that tried to top the impact of Cannibal Holocaust or Ferox.

How can you do a decent 3rd world cannibal film without the traditional dick violence.

[Toddallthingshorror]

I saw this opening weekend and was extremely let down. If you look at it as a dark comedy then it kinda improves. But as a horror film it was just bad IMO. Terrible characters, terrible decisions, complete lack of urgency from the cast, lack of violence apart from once scene. Just bland.

[RavageRitual]

Overall I was happy with it, buuut I really wanted more gore.

Yeah apart from that first kill (and some quick cuts in the plane) there was nada.

Yup, I felt exactly the same way.

I thought it started out well and went well for a bit, then it went downhill and I thought the ending was soooooo stupid ::sad::

[Cinematic Shocks]

This was disappointing but not as bad as ‘Knock Knock’. After these two, I’m not looking forward to Eli Roth getting behind the camera again. His first three films weren’t perfect but I enjoyed them all.

Yeah, Eli used to be a Director I got excited for, but hes going downhill quick.

[Baron Von Marlon]

Was bored so here's what I would've done

A group of activists go to a fictional jungle to document arecently discovered tribe.
When they arrive at the tribe's village it seems deserted.
They set up camp and document their surroundings.
After a while the local children come out of hiding. The groups guide knows a little
of the language and finds out all the adults are taken but he doesn't understand the rest.
When night falls a second tribe, cannibals, arrive. They attack and capture the
group. Someone gets killed in the fight in order to secure the escape of someone else.
Cannibals take the group to their village.
The village is larger than in original movie. It's darker and less colourful.
Skulls, bones, weird totems, remains of the first tribe, maybe a couple left in captivity.
The cannibals look meaner. Each and everyone of them.
From this moment on the movie switches between gory stuff in the village
and between the escaped character trying to find the others along with some kid from the first
village.
When the escapee arrives, (s)he gets captured. More gore ensues. Rituals and stuff.
Toward the ending during the main ritual, a rescue party/soldiers arrive
and a blood battle starts in which most (or all) cannibals are killed.
A couple of activists survive to tell their tale (and to go back in part 2?)
Fade out. Maybe a cannibal pops out from behind a bush and the screen goes to black.

[Lord Voldemort]

I liked GI but didnt love it but it was worth seeing in cinema. I Will get the dvd, but am willing to wait for it to go down to $10 or less. It wasn't like It Follows where I wanted it as soon as ot hit store shelves.

[bats]

i wasn't really a fan. it's probably okay if you are into that sort of thing (jungle cannibals and/or eli roth being the sort of thing i mean) it might be fun but i am not really a fan of those things so i didn't expect much going in and got about what i expected. it just wasn't for me i guess.

[Ferox13]

wrong thread.

[Kill Me, Freddy Krueger!]

I liked it up until the ending. First death was also the most brutal one.
