The Green Inferno (2013)

Horror fans have been anxiously awaiting Eli Roth’s latest flick The Green Inferno, which has been stuck in limbo since it’s premiere at the Toronto International Film Fest in 2013.  The Green Inferno was finally released this past weekend and is just as divisive among horror fans as Roth’s previous entries in the genre have been.  This gory throwback/update to the cannibal genre stars Eli Roth’s wife Lorenza Izzo the heroine Justine.  She’s a college student as well as the daughter of widowed U.S. Diplomat Charles (the great Richard Burgi).  She unfortunately falls for the head of a group of social justice warriors named Alejandro (Ariel Levy) who has a wall sized Che Guevera poster in their meeting room who wishes to use Justine’s status as a diplomat’s daughter to capitalize on his protest of a bulldozing project going on in the Amazon.
