With TIFF just around the corner, Eli Roth is currently gearing up for his cannibal tale The Green Inferno to have its world premiere at the festival. Roth hasn’t directed a feature film since 2007′s Hostel: Part II so to say the horror genre has missed his talents would be a huge understatement. As a big fan of Roth’s films, I really can’t wait to see what he has in store for us — especially when it’s a film directly inspired by one of the nastiest pieces of cinema — Cannibal Holocaust.
How far would you go for a cause you believe in? In horror master Eli Roth’s terrifying new film, a group of college students take their humanitarian protest from New York to the Amazon jungle, only to get kidnapped by the native tribe they came to save: a tribe that still practices the ancient rite of cannibalism, and has a healthy appetite for intruders.
Roth brought his film crew to a remote village up the Amazon River that has “no electricity, no running water, nothing.” And what exactly did the villagers get in return? “We’re giving these people a boat They have no contact with the outside world and we’re giving them a motorboat and we’re giving them medical supplies and school supplies, so they’re ecstatic. The one thing they need is a boat. They were like, ‘This will literally change our lives’.” Very cool stuff right there! Once reviews start pouring in after its premiere we’ll really get a feel for just how this one turned out. Look for more soon!
For someone like me who loved Hostel and Hostel Part II I am definitely looking forward to this one.
Same here. I have a good feeling about this one!
huge fan of cannibal movies! can’t wait to see this! maybe there’ll be an explosion in the near future ;)
A cannibal explosion!? We can only hope! Looking forward to this one as well, hoping Eli Roth still has the spark!
If it’s not 3D them i’m gonna eat Eli Roth.
Lol! 3D cannibals? Hot damn.
Eli Roth making a film inspired by Cannibal Holocaust. Oh God, I’m already afraid.
Haha yes! As you should be.
That last photo looks like Jonny Depp from Pirates of the Caribbean 8…
Lol that’s a good point! The good news is that it is in fact NOT Johnny Depp!
“Good news” as in that it would really be painful for Johnny to have a snake through his nose and you’d feel real bad for poor Johnny? Or “good news” as in that you don’t like Johnny Depp and him being in it would spoil the movie for you? (even though you would see him in terrible pain and agony all time because of that big snake through his nose!) :-|
Lol well I’m just not a fan of his at the moment simply because he does the same thing over and over just with different make-up on his face. That being said, you make a good point, seeing him in this could have its benefits!
Reblogged this on HORROR BOOM and commented:
Check THIS out! Ohhh, there is NO WAY this is going to end well for the students traveling to the jungle in an Italian cannibal flick. Another selling point: since Eli Roth is an animal rights supporter, there won’t be a bunch of actual animal killings (We don’t even want to see fake ones) like the movies Green Inferno was inspired by (Cannibal Holocaust, Make Them Die Slowly). Those sick fucks. Nope, looks like it’ll just be the characters in this one.
