The green inferno isn't super good but still i'm not that convinced that this is the worst thing Eli Roth has made.

... View MoreA Cannibal Horror film. A group of Eco-Activists are flying back from a jungle site after a success full confrontation with jungle clearers when their plane crashes. The survivors are captured by a Cannibal tribe. On the Horror level it gets 5 stars. Gruesome isn't the word: people chopped up while still alive, eaten alive. Smeared with goo and staked for ants to eat alive. Not a film I will forget in a hurry. Great cinematography and direction, good story-line and acting. Not for the squeamish or faint-hearted.
... View MoreA group of idealistic college students set head off to the Peruvian jungle. Their aim is to make an ecological statement by hindering the operations of a logging company, and streaming this live to YouTube. They succeed in this but on the way back their plane crashes. The survivors now have to deal with the cannibalistic tribe that lives in those parts...Pretty weak, and doesn't work as any sort of movie. Seeing as it is directed by Eli Roth, you figure it will be a gory horror-type movie. There is gore, but it is pretty conventional and not that shocking by modern standards.I thought this may be some of 70s-like cannibal-exploitation movie, in the vein of Cannibal Holocaust or Cannibal Ferox. No, it is far too tame for that, and quite unnaturally so (which is odd - Roth must have known this was going to get an MA or R rating, for the gore, yet he toned down the exploitation scenes. Once you've hit the top restrictions, no need to pull your punches).The movie had potential as a survival movie, but instead of developing that for a spell, Roth went straight to the captives-of- cannibals plot.There's also a greenie vibe, that Roth alternately extols and mocks, both equally half-heartedly.Just as a pure drama it's pretty bad: basic script, unimaginative direction, lacklustre performances.So, won't work for anyone, no matter what they are in to. Focusing on one theme, and turning it up to the max would at least kept one group happy. Instead we have a hodge-podge of half-baked, diluted themes and genres.
