The Green Inferno

Disturbing but good movie. Based on real events

First of all, I just finished this movie and it will take me a bit to take it all in, which is a great sign of a terrific horror movie. However, I am reading these other reviews and can tell you that at NO time, did I take this movie to be racist or pro-animal activist! Come on people!! You are going to PC this industry right out the window! To say this is racist ( against whom, I have NO idea) or that because no animals were harmed that it wasn't true "cannibalist horror" movie!! Put your big boy pants on and just don't watch it if violence offends you, it's called a MOVIE for a reason.Now, as for my actual review. What I have always really liked about Eli Roth's films is that they start out bright and sunny with a chance for you to get to know to the main characters which he does again with Green Inferno. It's nice to develop a character like Justine and Jonah so that when the bad stuff starts going down you actually do feel real sympathy for them, both characters were acted terrifically well, by the way. Since I am of the age when movies weren't allowed to show violence towards real animals then I have not seen Cannibal Holocaust, nor do I care to, because I don't want to see live animals tortured and killed. So, to those of us under 50, quit wondering about that other movie and trying to compare it. This is a movie made by someone who understands you don't actually have to kill something to make a movie, that is why it is again, called a MOVIE with "special effects".The scenery and cinematography are fantastic and the twist on how the college students turned up kidnapped by the same tribe they came to protect is priceless horror film making. Anyone who remembers what is like to be a college freshman can kind of understand how these kids got themselves into this situation in the first place. They were trying to fit in, trying to make a positive change in the world and then we see them ruthlessly used as pawns by a government activist who specializes in using fresh young, sensitive minds. Especially the one whose father is a lawyer for the United Nations.The real villain, just like in so many Roth films isn't so much the one who perpetrated the violence but in the "ordinary people" who stood to profit from it. Saving the rainforest still is a good cause and I know most people aren't ignorant enough to let a movie deflect them from that. Overall, it's creepy, gruesome, unsettling and has one of the best endings I've seen in a while! Make sure and watch through the credits!I say a big Bravo to Roth! And, hope for a sequel and answer to that mystery ending.And a big "grow up" for you guys that watch a movie about cannibals and get offended by violence.I think a very poiniant scene is at the end when Justine is forced to stay on her side of the river with the human cannibals or cross it and take her chances with a wild leopard, she inevitably chooses to cross and take her chances with the leopard. Can't say that I blame her! Again, good show!

I really liked this movie. Bought it blind to get Free shipping.

Today is Ms Antonieta Pari's Birthday (May 31), and it's night over here. To honor her I watched the movie that I knew her from, Eli Roth's The Green Inferno. This movie is a tribute to classic cannibal films from the 70s and 80s, a homage to "Cannibal Holocaust." Antonieta plays a leader of a cannibal tribe, and her performance is terrifying and frightening, with her looks. She's just incredibly fearsome and amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing more of her films. Lorenza Izzo, who is Eli's wife, was the leading actress and did an outstanding job. The rest of the cast and crew was also awesome. It has that disturbing bloody gore, with scenes that will make you go WTF. It also has comedy, with a mixture of the bizarre that is guaranteed to shock viewers. I have seen lots of bad reviews for this movie and I just don't understand why. Some people says it's gory and some says it's not gory enough. Everyone has their opinions, but for me everything was perfect and it's in its order. Eli Roth really worked hard for this feature. It's not easy making a movie like this. He trained real life villagers who had no experience in acting. Lorenza risked her life in a scene where she nearly drowns. They busted their asses for the movie, and some people just don't give them credit. I truly respect and love them 100% for this bloody, dark, good, intense, adventurous fun ride. One of the reasons I loved it is that there is no animal cruelty in it, and I salute Eli Roth for that. Eli and Lorenza prove that they are one of the best duos in the Horror World. Whether you love it or hate it, this is one of those films people will be talking about for ages. Back in 2013, my Dad was so thrilled when he heard that Eli was doing a cannibal film. He was a huge fan of Eli's films. The sad part is he passed away in June. Fast forward to 2015, and it was released in my country on September 24, my Dad's Birthday. I was like, Dad, I am gonna celebrate your Birthday by watching the movie you waited for. I watched it on the big screen and it was heavily censored, but I still enjoyed it. In January 2016 I finally got to watch it uncut for the first time on iTunes. Later I got it on DVD, and this is a movie that every horror fan out there should own. And I'm so excited that there's a sequel in the works titled "Beyond The Green Inferno," and I truly hope Antonieta Pari reprises her role as the Queen Of The Cannibal Clan!!!
