The Green Inferno

Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!
If you enjoy my blog, you may enjoy my facebook page!

Justine travels with a group of social activists to protect the rainforest natives from a logging company. After their protest achieves some success, their plane crashes. Their troubles change when the cannibal natives kidnap the survivors.

This film was directed by Eli Roth. Anyone who knows Eli Roth, and his style, will know what they're getting into with this film. Much of it was inspired from classic cannibal films (i. e. Cannibal Holocaust). The plot is fairly straightforward, people trying to survive and escape from enraged natives. However, the commentary it makes on social activists is unique. There are several moments when the film tries to create humor to balance out the tension, but it only cheapens the experience. There are several unnerving moments though. There is plenty of violence, and some gore. A lot of the true horror is suggested. There was some controversy form actual activists who claimed that it was making natives look dangerous. Yes, there is a sequel planned. Lorenza Izzo played the role of Justine. She was good at portraying the general survival victim. Ariel Levy played the role of Alejandro. He was brilliant at creating the most hated character in this film.

This film can be seen on DVD.

I give this film 3 out of 5 stars! Its a great film for fans of Eli Roth, or general gore fans. However, it also has its faults.
