RT Rating: 35% How you feel about The Green Inferno probably depends a lot on how you feel about the films that inspired it. Having played in festivals way back in 2013, Eli Roths homage to low-budget gore-fest exploitation films is pitch perfect and admirably clever at what it tries to do, its just not very good. Thats sort of the point of course, and there is something perversely admirable in how well it recaptures being awful. But shouldnt an homage still seek to be entertaining, and improve on the originals where possible? A touch more of the humour and a little more knowing self-parody might have gone a long way to that, particularly as theres absolutely no-one to root for. And without the improvement, you might as well just watch Cannibal Holocaust again, if thats all youre looking for.
