In Eli Roth’s terrifying new film, The Green Inferno, a group of college students take their humanitarian protest from New York to the Amazon jungle only to be taken prisoners by the indigenous tribe they came to save.
The film is entertaining, gory and bloody, and I enjoyed it. It has great music and cinematography. It even manages to showcase a couple of social issues that most people don’t pay attention to.
The Green Inferno marks Eli Roth’s return to directing for the big screen for the first time since his Hostel franchise.
The cast includes some of Roth’s usual suspects, Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Nicolás Martínez, Richard Burgi, and now Daryl Sabara, Kirby Bliss Blanton, Sky Ferreira, Magda Apanowicz, Aaron Burns, Ignacia Allamand, and Ramón Llao. —A.O.
