A while ago, I talked about how Eli Roth was one of the laziest directors in Hollywood. It was an article about a man who rested on his laurels of occasionally making a movie, and occasionally producing a tv series or movie; but mostly just a man who didn’t do much after making three movies.
Well, Roth is out to prove me he’s more than Cabin Fever and the Hostel films (which I really like both of them), with this new film The Green Inferno. The movie is his homage to Cannibal Holocaust and from the first trailer below, it looks pretty…timid. I can’t really judge it because there’s not much footage, but if it’s in the same vein as Hostel, well then we’re in for a pretty gory flick.
Here’s the official synopsis for The Green Inferno:
[box_light]
Directed, co-written, and produced by Roth (Cabin Fever, Hostel franchise), THE GREEN INFERNO follows a group of student activists who travel from New York City to the Amazon to save a tribe from extinction. In an unfortunate twist of fate, when the group arrives, they are taken hostage by the very cannibals they sought to protect.
