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.

Jason Bailey Flavorwire 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. May 3, 2016 Full Review Mark Kermode Observer (UK) 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. Rated: 1/5 Feb 14, 2016 Full Review David Jenkins Little White Lies 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. Rated: 1/5 Feb 12, 2016 Full Review Brian Eggert Deep Focus Review The Green Inferno provides some momentary shocks, but it’s as heavy-handed as anything on Roth’s résumé. Rated: 2/4 May 27, 2022 Full Review Jason Adams My New Plaid Pants More goofy than it ever manages scary Jul 2, 2021 Full Review Emma Wolfe SpookyAstronauts This movie tackles a surprising and different kind of storyline yet it is quite predictable. It won't go down is one of my favorites of the year but it was exciting and I found it very amusing and entertaining. Rated: 7/10 Jun 1, 2021 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Plot too hard too understand and too silly Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/01/24 Full Review Samm 2 Fantastic! I really liked finally some sincere horror movie, interesting themes like the hypocrisy of many activist groups and the cultural relativism. A great tribute to cannibal movies. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/23/24 Full Review Shawn H I really enjoyed this film. The gore was top notch and the message was great. We should leave these old tribes alone and take care of our rain Forrests. What they do is their business and we should not base their beliefs on ours. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Yux K This has got to be one of the worst movies I've ever seen. If i could give it zero stars, i would. This was recommended to me across multiple platforms saying it was a great and unsettling movie, but honestly, it SUCKED. The plot was all over the place. you never really got to be invested in any of the characters, and most of the acting were terrible (the only one that was decent was Lorenza). Also the ending was HORRIBLE, what was the point of falling into the water? and what the hell was that dream?? did she wanna become a cannibal? WTF. The worst of all was at the very very end when she decided to be on the cannibals side and talk trash about the PEOPLE WHO LITTERLY SAVED HER ASS. please don't waste your time watching this, and be thankful i told you the ending. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 09/13/24 Full Review D B Started slow but once it got rolling it was pretty good. A few laughs, some casual torture, a splash of blood, murder, suicide and Lorenza is nice to look at. Not going to win any writing awards but it's worth a watch if you like horror. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/30/24 Full Review Liyo o Yo, I thought the Texas chainsaw massacre remake was the worst, but this thing takes the cake for being the absolute worst. Where's the freakin' plot? It's like it was made by some high school kids for a school project, and it's not even gory like those 'review people' said - it's bland as hell, like the director was scared of blood but still tried to make a film about it. Worst film Ever green infer no...no, its more like lameferno Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/04/24 Full Review Read all reviews
