Critics Consensus

The Green Inferno may not win writer-director Eli Roth many new converts, but fans of his flair for gory spectacle should find it a suitably gruesome diversion.

It's mostly just sad - not because Roth takes such a sharp scalpel to the social justice movement, but because he swings a baseball bat, and misses by a mile.

1/5

Flat-pack acting, frat-boy screenwriting (the portrayal of activists is spitefully dumb) and retro gore combine with smug throwback neocolonialist racism and unfunny jokes about diarrhoea, dope and Scooby-Doo.

es, Roth's film has its expected moments of high transgression, but you can never get away from the fact that all these references have been attached to the most hackneyed teen slasher narrative imaginable.

It’s still enjoyable to watch, but I can’t help but roll my eyes a bit at the way the tribe is depicted as the most evil, bloodthirsty killers imaginable.

The Green Inferno provides some momentary shocks, but it’s as heavy-handed as anything on Roth’s résumé.

Terrível. História que tenta validar o péssimo roteiro no Plot Twist, porém continua sem convencer. Atuações ruins, personagens entediantes, edição que tenta acelerar o tempo porém confunde o espectador no contar da história.

This movie was just unbelievably gory and I can take some gore in a movie, I know Roth can be known for for his horror. But eating eyeballs in a movie is going too far for me. 🤢🤢

A very strange movie, it's about cannibals eating people but also has disgusting jokes and tree huggers. It has eli Roth's weird vibes all over it, like his fetish for gross stuff and racism. I don't understand how he's still a director. I swear the only good movie he made was Cabin Fever.

The Green Inferno follows a group of student activists who travel to the Amazon to save a tribe’s land. After their protest succeeds, their plane crashes in the jungle and they are captured by a cannibal tribe. The tribe brutally kills the students one by one while they try to escape. Justine later learns the activist leader mostly cared about fame and attention, not the actual cause. In the end, she escapes and gets rescued but lies to protect the tribe from being destroyed by outsiders. The movie is a graphic survival horror film with a dark message about fake activism and social media attention.

It really seemed like just a chance to show gore but really wasn’t entertaining. It was ridiculous how she covered up for the tribe and disrespected her friends brutal death.It made no sense.
