"The Green Inferno" is a breezy college comedy. Until it's not. Then it's really, really not.
Michael Ordona, San Francisco Chronicle
Overview

A project that boasts all the appeal (and aroma) of a carcass rotting in the rainforest.
Geoff Berkshire, Variety

The Green Inferno is less a riff on spaghetti splatter flicks like Cannibal Holocaust than a desperate-to-shock pastiche of guts and gore served with a wink to audiences with strong stomachs. You know who you are.
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly

The point is to feel something visceral, extreme. Eli Roth is extremely extreme. My head is off to him.
David Edelstein, New York Magazine/Vulture
Rotten
Whatever criticism you want to throw at Roth, at least the director stays true to his singular, repulsive vision: His cannibals-gone-wild tale is a work of unrelenting and squishy terror.
Barry Hertz, Globe and Mail
