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.

| May 3, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 14, 2016

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.

| Original Score: 1/5 | Feb 12, 2016

Eli Roth's cannibal horror movie has its full quota of gore, but this is much more than an exploitation pic.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2016

We see certain films so you never, ever have to, and The Green Inferno is one such atrocity.

| Original Score: 0/5 | Feb 11, 2016

The sheer chutzpah of Eli Roth escalates in this breathtakingly crass, ultra-violent satire targeting the liberal PC classes - a twist on Ruggero Deodato's cult shocker Cannibal Holocaust.

| Original Score: 3/5 | Feb 11, 2016

The film's failure is thumpingly basic: Roth just lacks the chops to turn everyone into chops, in any way which scores as either potent horror or lip-smacking satire.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Feb 11, 2016

Any sense that the kids die because they never bothered to research the tribe they were trying to save is undermined by the movie's treatment of the natives as just as abstract.

"The Green Inferno" is a breezy college comedy. Until it's not. Then it's really, really not.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Oct 1, 2015

A project that boasts all the appeal (and aroma) of a carcass rotting in the rainforest.

"The Green Inferno" is not exactly a feel-good film, but it gets a very particular job done.

| Original Score: 3/4 | Sep 27, 2015

A flop of a horror film that overestimates gore for actual scares.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Sep 27, 2015

The Green Inferno is less a riff on spaghetti splatter flicks like Cannibal Holocaust than a desperate-to-shock pastiche of guts and gore served with a wink to audiences with strong stomachs. You know who you are.

| Original Score: C | Sep 25, 2015

The point is to feel something visceral, extreme. Eli Roth is extremely extreme. My head is off to him.

| Sep 25, 2015

Whatever criticism you want to throw at Roth, at least the director stays true to his singular, repulsive vision: His cannibals-gone-wild tale is a work of unrelenting and squishy terror.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Sep 25, 2015

The film is measured and executed effectively to satiate horror fans' bloodlust, yet its underlying messages are just so repugnant.

| Sep 24, 2015

The movie is a revisiting of what is often called the cannibal subgenre, a vile strain of films in which Westerners encounter tribes in the jungle.

| Sep 24, 2015

A nasty treat for those with strong stomachs.

| Original Score: 3.5/4 | Sep 24, 2015

The Green Inferno can easily be dismissed as juvenilia, both in its sneering rebuke of political correctness and in its zeal for unearthing a horror tradition that should have been laid to rest.

| Sep 24, 2015

The Green Inferno fancies itself a gory skewering of what Roth has repeatedly referred to as "slacktivism." But do his heroes/victims, who at one point put themselves directly in the line of fire, really qualify?

| Original Score: D | Sep 24, 2015
