The Green Inferno is a much-delayed Eli Roth horror film in the cannibal tribe sub-genre. It’s about a bunch of annoying college students who travel to Chile to save an indigenous tribe from a logging company, wound up captured by the tribe, and then eaten. This movie is about as culturally sensitive to native tribes as a King Kong film. But it’s not like the first world college students make out much better – they are just the ones we theoretically root for.
I’ve seen much worse films but largely this movie is a very gross, very mean-spirited bit of torture porn. You know of already know that you won’t go see it and you probably shouldn’t. Fans of gory scary movies might get something out of it – I mean, it is at least effective in making me really hope the main female character doesn’t get “circumcised” at the hands of the tribe she was trying to save.
So, yeah, like I said, you already know you aren’t going to see this flick… certainly not after that last paragraph.
