The Green Inferno
Director: Eli Roth
Actors: Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Aaron Burns
PlotA group of college students, intent on making a difference in the world, decides to embark on a mission to the Amazon rainforest. They aim to protest and stop the destruction of the rainforest and protect the indigenous tribes from loss of their home and culture due to corporate greed. The students are idealistic, driven by social activism, and led by a charismatic leader. Their journey begins with high hopes and a sense of camaraderie as they leave their familiar urban environment behind, venturing into the heart of one of the planet's most biodiverse regions. Their mission is to use their presence and social media to bring international attention to the cause.
However, upon arriving in the Amazon, their plane crashes in the remote jungle, stranding them far from civilization. They quickly realize they are not alone; they have landed in the territory of an indigenous tribe. But this tribe, isolated from the outside world, has its own customs and ways of life that are brutally at odds with the students' expectations. The group's ideals and their very survival are tested as they are captured by the tribe. Their ordeal exposes them to the stark realities of nature, human existence, and the fine line between life and death in the green inferno of the Amazon.

Home Video Reviews
The Green Inferno is atmospherically potent but lacks the unease of cult classics; it's a cannibal homage that falls short.

The Green Inferno: Gore-heavy with slick production, but lacking in story; not for the faint-hearted; strong Blu-ray visuals/audio.
