Eli Roth's 'Green Inferno'

[meth head]

Directed, co-written, and produced by Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel franchise), THE GREEN INFERNO follows a group of student activists who travel from New York City to the Amazon to save a tribe from extinction. In an unfortunate twist of fate, when the group arrives, they are taken hostage by the very cannibals they sought to protect.

Eli Roth? Nope, do not watch.

Personally, I liked Hostel (the sequels, no). This looks a bit samey and I dunno, maybe a bit exploitative (of the tribes people) at the same time. On one hand, it's a neat premise that do-gooders end-up being the victims of their good intentions but at the same time... impossibly good looking students simpering for mercy is a bit of a cliché with Roth. If it gets good reviews (for a horror movie) I might VOD it.

I really loved Cabin in the Woods and Hostel so I will definitely see this.

I'm really looking forward to this, as I've become a bit bored of the endless zombie or vampire films that we've had over the recent years. A return to the cannibal genre of the 70-80s is most welcome!

I just hope it's as good as the preview reviews sounded...

Horror Master?

So pretty much a remake of Cannibal Holocaust.

Thats exactly what I thought of after watching the trailer.

nah, maybe ace ventura 2 with gore and cannibalism remake.

Blegh…please stop giving Eli Roth a directors chair...

 

[PsychoCenobite]

I don' think I'd class this as a remake but just a film that sits in the same genre as Cannibal Holocaust, as with other cannibal horror films (i.e. Cannibal Ferox, Last Cannibal World, Eaten Alive!). The subject matter might be similar but the same could be said for most zombie, vampire, ghost, slasher horror films, but they aren't all remakes of each other.

Also, this one isn't a "lost footage" move, which would have made it easier to call it a remake.

those movies are puke, on par with every other cheap "let's go party and killed by something" trash.

Yeah…It's just going to be more gore porn with zero substance and terrible acting.

With the title ripped off from Green Hell.

don't mind Roth. Bring on the gore porn.
But you guys are right. It probably won't have the in depth storyline, like, say, the original classic TCM had .... ....

Hey, leave the Friday the 13th franchise out of this.

I don't care much for Roth myself.

You don't think he could have tried a little harder on the title?

For some reason, this trailer stuck with me enough that I had a dream about watching this movie. Except, in the dream, it starred Louis CK, and he and his much younger girlfriend were the only survivors who escaped. Then, it got even weirder, because they managed to escape to New York, where the cannibals followed them. Louis CK, subsequently, stole a rental car and basically started running down the villagers in the streets of Manhattan with a Prius.

Being a Tarantino fan I'm kind of forced to be ok with rip-off titles

 

[Khev]

Looks like he's trying to copy that first "Human Centipede" teaser where you don't really see what's going on but just hear someone whimpering.
