20 Horror Movie Scenes That Make Absolutely No Sense
9. The Green Inferno - The Weed
Plot: A group of eco activists fall into the hands of the South American natives they were trying to protect, and they turn out to be a tribe of vicious cannibals.
Eli Roth's cannibal horror flick is a wildly mixed bag, but at the very least, The Green Inferno is mostly devoid of logic issues. Mostly. There is one silly moment that'll take you right out of the movie.
When one of the captives, Amy (Kirby Bliss Banton), commits suicide, fellow captive Lars (Daryl Sabara, AKA Juni from Spy Kids) stuffs his marijuana down her throat, hoping that the tribe will get high when they eat her, high enough for them to escape. Somehow, this plan kind of works, as two of the others do temporarily escape. It really, really shouldn't have done.
Even though this was said to be particularly strong weed, it wouldn't have been powerful enough to inebriate the entire tribe (which, for context, consists of at least 100 people) like it did. A guardsman is seen falling over from the effects, even though he hadn't eaten any of Amy's body.
If the movie had gone for more of a schlocky, B-Movie tone than this could've been accepted more easily but, in what was ultimately a straight-faced work that generally avoided comedy, it really did feel like something out of a different, much goofier movie.
