I recently watched The Green Inferno with a friend, and I wasn't really blown away by it. I knew it was a film from the "tamer" tier of the iceberg list, so my expectations weren't too high. Honestly, nothing in the movie stood out as extraordinary.
It's pretty obvious that the film is heavily inspired by Cannibal Holocaust, with the same kind of theme involving ancient cannibal tribes and modern humans as their captives. Given how big the "cannibal movie boom" was in the late '70s and '80s, this isn't exactly a groundbreaking plot.
It's definitely watchable though, especially for gore fanatics, its not a horror movie more an attempt at a shock factor. In terms of overall impact, it's nothing amazing. While it's still worth watching once for the experience, Cannibal Holocaust will always be the icon of this genre and I'm afraid will always overshadow the success of any films following in this plot genre.
