How about a little bit of cannibalism to start your morning? After being delayed for a year thanks to some behind-the-scenes drama with financiers, Eli Roth‘s cannibal feature The Green Inferno, which was shot in the same neck of the woods as Werner Herzog‘s Aguirre, is back and ready to frighten you. Ahead of a release this September, we now have a new trailer.
We said in our review, “He seems sure of the (obviously violent) human behaviors he wants to document, yet not of the striking images necessary to compellingly do so, as is imminently apparent by The Green Inferno’s television-esque cinematography.” Check out the trailer below for the film starring Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Aaron Burns, Kirby Bliss, Blanton Sky, Ferreira Daryl Sabara, and Nicolas Martinez.
Idealistic Justine (Lorenza Izzo) joins a group of campus radicals on a mission to disrupt the illegal clear-cutting of a Peruvian jungle, which is endangering the tranquil lives of an isolated Amazonian tribe. Armed with good intentions and the power of their cellphone cameras, the group flies to Peru and seemingly succeeds in their mission. But the activists’ celebration quickly turns to tragedy when their plane crashes in the jungle — and they find themselves on the dinner menu of the very people they were trying to protect.
The Green Inferno opens on September 25th.
