‘Green Inferno’ Film News: Grisly Red-Band Trailer Released, Viewer Discretion Advised [Watch]
A disturbing new red-band trailer has been released for this Friday's premiere of Eli Roth's "The Green Inferno" film.
The film itself has been the subject of controversy in recent months due to the way it portrays indigenous tribes of the Amazon. But nevertheless, it is set open this weekend.
The video itself shows disturbing images of a man who is apparently drugged, then placed on what appears to be an altar of some sort by an Amazonian tribe. His friends watch in horror from their makeshift cages as the man starts to come around while on the altar and his eye is then savagely removed. The tribe then starts to ingest his eye before the clip cuts off.
According to The Huffington Post, the film is a grotesque portrayal of an indigenous tribe set in the Amazon. It features a group of young Americans who fly to the area in effort to help the tribes who are falling victim to global companies through deforestation, fossil fuel removal and mining.
When their plane crashes, they are taken hostage by the tribe and, one by one, they are eaten.
The cannibalistic nature of the film is no departure for Roth, who is known to make films that show the utter depravity of human life.
In his series of "Hostel" films, the director imagined a foreign country where people were taken to so that other people could pay hefty prices to torture, maim and ultimately kill their unsuspecting victims.
That franchise is what most have considered to be the start of the "torture porn" film genre, which was closely followed by the "Saw" films.
"The Green Inferno" seems to bein accordance with that style of filmmaking for the director, who has quite often been noted to work with director Quentin Tarantino.
