It currently holds a 35% on Rotten Tomatoes, but a significantly higher audience score among hardline grindhouse fans. In many ways, it is the perfect Eli Roth movie: juvenile, brilliant, deeply offensive, and unforgettable.
The primary target of Roth’s satire is "slacktivism"—social media activism that prioritizes personal branding, virtue signaling, and optics over genuine understanding or sustainable help. The students enter the jungle completely ignorant of local political realities, treating a complex humanitarian crisis as a backdrop for a viral video.
Overall, The Green Inferno is a disturbing and thought-provoking horror film that explores themes of environmentalism, cannibalism, and cultural clash. If you're a fan of extreme horror or are interested in exploring the genre, this film may be worth checking out.
★★★☆☆ (3/5 – Recommended for extreme horror aficionados only)
For collectors, the Blu-ray release from Universal features a "Gore Cut" (unrated) that restores the razor-blade scene, as well as a feature-length documentary titled The Making of The Green Inferno which details the hellish Amazon shoot.

Survival International, a global movement campaigning for the rights of indigenous peoples, strongly condemned the film. The organization argued that "The Green Inferno" reinforces colonialist stereotypes by portraying uncontacted tribes as vicious, dehumanized savages with a taste for human flesh. According to Survival International, such depictions are dangerous because they provide ammunition for governments and corporations seeking to justify the destruction of tribal lands.
This film is a love letter to the Italian Cannibal Boom of the late 1970s and early 80s, specifically Ruggero Deodato’s controversial classic Cannibal Holocaust (1980). Roth aimed to recreate the visceral, gritty style of those films but with a modern production value and a satirical edge regarding "slacktivism."
The cast and crew faced extreme heat, venomous insects, and shifting river currents, adding a layer of genuine exhaustion and tension to the performances. Critical and Audience Reception
