The "Green Inferno" review is scattered throughout the net. Despite the varying points of view, all of them are unified by the conclusion that Elli Roth's latest horror creation is not for the faint of heart and tummy. Simply put, it is a bona fide thrill seekers' delicacy.
As mentioned by JoBlo in its "Green Inferno" review, it is an "endurance flick." If you want to know how much your eyes and mind can take, this is the movie to watch. However, if your idea of enjoyment is mainstream, you would be best off opting for other types of films or the less violent horror variants.
For this "Green Inferno" review, the focus is on the shock factor, not much the elements of surprise compared to his inventive ways of killing in "Hostel," as reported by Indie Wire. Unarguably, though, it is a brutal movie that could seriously test the limits of what viewers are willing to see with both eyes open.
According to The Wrap, the film's brutality is comprised of graphic carnage in the form of disemboweling victims and severing limbs among others. All of these could push the audience's viewing tolerance to the limits, depending on how strong their stomachs are.
Such brutality is what singles out Eli Roth in the horror movie genre. As to how he executed his brand of violence in "Green Inferno," Badass Digest has these three gory tidbits to share:
1. One of the unfortunate victims had his eyeballs taken out while he is still alive (and most probably screaming his head off due to unimaginable pain and agony), after which a native snacks on them like berries.
2. Still the same victim who had his eyes scooped out, his tongue is cut off and eaten a la carte. After the pitiful guy finally expired, they peel his skin off, smokes it and...
3. Besides the brutality that comes with the "feasting" scenes, Roth peppered his extreme flick with scenes of suicide, virginal offerings and bouts of diarrhea.
