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.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

The gore is splashy and colorful and [Director] Eli Roth's homage to Cannibal Holocaust is admirable, but feeble characterizations and prioritization of the carnage over any real story, The Green Inferno will entertain those with an iron stomach, but others need not apply.

Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars

What you would expect from a typical abducted by a crazy cannibal tribe film. Casting was excellent. Make up and effects were good. Few unnecessary scenes searching for shock value (spider/penis scene) or trying to seem comedic for preteens (stoned tribe members).
