New stills have been released for the upcoming Eli Roth film "The Green Inferno."

The new film by Eli Roth is being released on Friday, and to celebrate the release, High Top releasing recently unveiled seven new stills. The images show a number of ominous indigenous people attacking three teenagers. One image in particular stands out of a man painted in black with horns sticking out his nose. The same character is also seen on a canoe leading other indigenous people.

Eli Roth is also seen in a still posing with several children in makeup in the midst of the woods. There is also a striking image of a young boy staring at the camera and looking frightened.

"The Green Inferno" is coming out a year after it was supposed to be released. Originally Open Road Pictures was expected to take the film out in theaters but pulled it without explanation. According to Deadline, the film was pulled from release last year because the distributor and financier had differences over Publicity & Advertising expenses.

The film was originally obtained by Open Road after it premiered at the Toronto Film Festival's Midnight Madness to great reviews. However, now High Top Releasing is handling the film and will only take it out in 1,000 theaters hoping to build on its success.

The new film tells the story of a group of college students who take their humanitarian protest from New York to the Amazon jungle only to be taken prisoner by the indigenous tribe they came to save.

"The Green Inferno" marks Roth's return to directing for the big screen for the first time since his torture franchise "Hostel."

The movie is "rated R for aberrant violence and torture, grisly disturbing images, brief graphic nudity, sexual content, language and some drug use."
