The Green Inferno 2013

Directed by horror veteran Eli Roth, The Green Inferno (2013) is a gruesome homage to the Italian cannibal exploitation films of the 1970s and 80s. Despite its 2013 festival debut, the film faced distribution delays and was released theatrically in 2015. The story follows Justine, a college freshman who joins an activist group led by the charismatic Alejandro to stop a petrochemical company from destroying the Amazon rainforest and its indigenous tribes. After a successful but harrowing protest in Peru, their plane crashes deep in the jungle, killing several members. The survivors are captured by a tribe of red-painted cannibals—the very people they were trying to protect. The horror begins as Jonah is brutally dismembered and eaten in front of the group. As the captives are held in a wooden cage, they witness the tribe preparing their friends for consumption. Samantha is killed and cooked, prompting Amy to commit suicide by slitting her throat. In a desperate escape attempt, Daniel helps drug Amy’s corpse with marijuana, causing the tribe to become intoxicated after eating her, which allows Justine to flee. Amidst the chaos, Alejandro—revealed to be a manipulative opportunist—is left behind. Justine eventually encounters a rival construction crew and is rescued. Back in New York, she lies to the authorities, claiming the tribe was peaceful and helped her, in an effort to protect them from further industrial encroachment. However, a post-credits scene reveals that Alejandro may still be alive and has been assimilated into the tribe. The film features Lorenza Izzo in the lead role as Justine, alongside Ariel Levy as the manipulative group leader Alejandro. The supporting cast includes Daryl Sabara as Lars, Kirby Bliss Blanton as Amy, and Magda Apanowicz as Samantha. Other notable members of the activist group are played by Sky Ferreira (Kaycee), Nicolás Martínez (Daniel), Aaron Burns (Jonah), and Ignacia Allamand (Kara). The film also features Richard Burgi as Justine's father, Charles, and uses many local Peruvian villagers as extras to portray the indigenous tribe. Produced on a modest budget of approximately $5 million, The Green Inferno had a rocky road to the big screen due to the financial collapse of its original distributor, Worldview Entertainment. It was eventually picked up by Jason Blum’s BH Tilt and released in September 2015. The film earned $3.5 million in its opening weekend and went on to gross roughly $7.2 million domestically. Internationally, it pulled in another $5.7 million, bringing its total worldwide box office to approximately $12.9 million, making it a financial success relative to its production costs.Streaming availability for The Green Inferno varies significantly by region. In the United States, the film is frequently available to stream for free (with ads) on platforms like Tubi and Pluto TV, or via a subscription to AMC+ or Shudder. In the United Kingdom, it can often be found on Amazon Prime Video or Sky Go. For viewers in Australia and Canada, it is typically available for digital rental or purchase through Apple TV, Google Play, and Microsoft Store. In India and parts of Southeast Asia, the movie has historically appeared on Zee5 and MX Player. Due to its graphic content, the film is sometimes restricted or requires an age-verified account on VOD services worldwide. Read More
