The Green Inferno (2013)
 
So the first glimpse of Eli Roth's cannibal movie (in the form of a still) has been released. The cannibal sub genre is the zenith of the 70s/80s exploitation scene for me...but that's just me. I've found most of his output to be a pretty damp squib so I really hope he gets it right with this one. What do the rest of you think, are we in for a triumph or a turkey?

Beyond72 20th February 2013 07:42 PM

Hmmm didn't Welcome to the Jungle already do this?

A cannibal film without any cannibalism.

WTF! Does it's namesake feature on the soundtrack?

Zann 20th February 2013 09:02 PM

Not seen it but a 15 rated cannibal flick? How and why? :crazy:

Gothmogxx 20th February 2013 09:17 PM

Well Eli Roth is a pretty good director, and a fan of the 70's and 80's Cannibal films, so I'm glad that he of all people made a cannibal movie.

(By the way, did anyone else hear how Eli showed the natives he was working with what a movie was? Well he showed them Cannibal Holocaust... And they thought it was the funniest thing that they had ever seen:pound::pound:)

Yeah I know he's a big fan so perhaps he'll do it justice.

To be fair, it markets itself more as a 'lost footage' film than an outright cannibal-fest. Whilst it's no masterpiece, I didn't think it was too bad. Granted, it skimps on the hard stuff, but there's some occasionally good scenes throughout. The scene when they're floating down the river and suddenly realise there's dozens of pairs of eyes watching them from the river bank is quite eerie.

Not a film I'd recommend per se, but I didn't find it a total loss. No classic and mostly forgettable but I don't think it was all bad. And yes, I'm probably the only one who thinks this way. :lol:

Peter Neal 15th March 2013 06:14 PM

@Daemonia: No, actually I also thought that "Welcome to the Jungle" wasn't too bad ;), I wrote a review of it many, many moons ago, but I'll be dammed if I had to dig it out.. :lol:

Calum 15th March 2013 07:04 PM

Some Green Inferno news from yours truly. Keep an eye out on the magazine - in a couple of issues my Eli Roth coverage will be in print too.

[BD Review] With 'The Green Inferno', Eli Roth Resurrects the Cannibal Sub-Genre In All It's Depraved Glory! -

Sounds like it's gonna be pretty good, look forward to seeing it, wasn't aware that Captain Jack Sparrow made a cameo appearance though

PaulD 8th September 2013 07:21 PM

Haha!

I'm looking forward to this. Hope it gets a UK theatrical release. Seems odd that we haven't even been given a trailer yet.

Rik 8th September 2013 07:21 PM

....and it looks like it's gonna get a sequel too

He's doing a Deodato and retaining the mystery. Except in the digital age of instant information we know it's not real. A disadvantage he has over Deodato.

Ah, has he said that or is it speculation?

keirarts 9th September 2013 07:08 AM

Wasn't Green inferno the film the crew were shooting in cannibal holocaust before they got killed? (or was it one of the films they had made previously, I'm going to have to dig out Holocaust and watch it again.)

Either way I hope this is going to be good. Considering how long its been since he actually shot a film and some of the drek he's been in over the last six years its sometime easy to forget that Eli Roth is actually a pretty good director. Sure he kick started the torture porn sub-genre, but Hostel actually was supported by a great central premise. The tourists that look to exploit the locals for easy sex/drugs ending up exploited themselves. Cabin Fever was also great fun as well.

I just hope they treat the locals fairly (i'm sure they will) as one of the best things about the Deadoto film was how most of what happens was the fault of the white Europeans...

The Green Inferno is the film they're making before they get killed

I totally agree. I only really like Cabin Fever out of the three films he's directed and recently he's had more of an interest in helping others get their film out through attaching his name (which is a great thing, don't get me wrong) but I really want to like this as I appreciate his enthusiasm for the genre.

If Eli roth made this into a movie it would've been brilliant.

I was just trying to be funny - as in pointing out that Roth is no Deodato and never will be. :lol:

Saying that, I liked Cabin Fever and Hostel Part 2 (preferred it to the first one). So I'm actually really looking forward to this - it's about time the cannibal sub-genre got a reboot. I do wonder if it will be as ferocious and unrelenting as its predecessors....if it is, modern audiences are in for one hell of a battering!

Rik 17th September 2013 04:30 PM

Another good review, would love to know when this is coming out over here!

The Green Inferno - HorrorTalk

Wes 17th September 2013 06:35 PM

For years I had the idea to do a screenplay about an Italian film crew making a cannibal film – a once great Giallo director now washed up is hired by a fly-by-night Eurociné-style group to make a cannibal film. The film-within-film is made in a remote stretch jungle but the production is dogged by hellish terrain, bad weather and a difficult leading man refusing to slaughter animals on camera. When financing falls through midway, (film was to be set in the early 80’s as the genre was dying out) the film gets progressively weirder and more hallucinatory...

There was a real mess of different influences going on – the Italian Cannibal cycle, Apocalypse Now, Aguirre Wrath of God (my diva director was to be along the lines of a tantrum throwing Klaus Kinski), and a bunch of moviemaking-is-hell films like The State of Things, Living In Oblivion, Irma Vep, The Last Movie, and all of it overlaid with a Boogie Nights style period sweep. I went to start this screenplay many times but it never went anywhere – honestly I have no idea about the science of writing a screenplay, a minute per page etc. Tentatively and terribly titled The Green Hell...

That sounds like something I'd enjoy watching, you should try writing it again.
Remember what Doc Brown always says "If you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything" ;)

Can you tell I watched BTTF 1 & 2 today :lol:

Or as WC Fields once said: If at first you don't succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There's no point in being a damn fool about it

This sounds amazing! Even if you can't write the thing yourself you could write the treatment and synopsis and see if someone else could tackle the actual script based on your ideas.

I saw a report on this the other week, apparently it's an unofficial release that Eli Roth has had nothing to do with, so be wary ordering guys :nod:

Eli Roth's The Green Inferno Int'l DVD Art is a Fake

Really? I don't doubt you or the article in the least but how does this happen?
Surely if this dvd/Blu comes out in Feb Eli will be able to sue for infringement of copyright and force them to remove the offending articles.
How would the company get hold of the film in the first place?
Hey, bolloxed if I know but I'll defo be getting this as soon as it's available. At least they can't sue me!!;)

I'm not sure if it's the Blu that's a fake or just the artwork. I'm gonna wait for a UK release I reckon (providing it's uncut, which I imagine it will be) :nod:

Rik 19th December 2013 06:11 PM

This is taken from the films Facebook page:

We regret to inform you that there are currently no updates on the release date or trailer for The Green Inferno. Please hang tight. We love and appreciate every single one of you for the outpour of support for the film. The film will be released sometime in 2014, most likely quarter 4. We will of course update you as soon as any new news brakes. The cast and crew are patiently waiting in the dark just as much as all of you amazing people. Don't worry, you are all in for one hell of a bloody ****ing perfect film come time. Perfection takes work. Thank you all and have one hell of a holiday.

Boo Radley 8th January 2014 05:32 PM

It has now disappeared from D&T!! :confused:

Iggy 15th January 2014 11:46 PM

And from what I've read the release date of the film is September 2014... so a long wait...
