The Green Inferno

I don't know, Eli Roth misses more than hits with me. Roth loves to dive headfirst into torture porn, and, after a while, it ceases to be shocking and is just annoying, and this film is no exception to that pattern. The sheer brutality of the violence here wasn't necessary to get the viewer to feel afraid and trapped. If anything, I became so disengaged by the violence that I started to tune out. The plot is so full of holes it's ridiculous and very hard to take seriously. However, I will say that the direction of the film is solid and the acting surprisingly good for this kind of film. Overall, I found this shock flick engaging but not really good per se. 3/5
