First things first… Many have called this a cannibal film. Well, there is no cannibalism, there are no cannibals, and there are no such references in the entire length of the movie. Generalized comparisons to that genre hold no water either. As an example, early in the proceedings our heroes are distracted from their goals by an animal in trouble and go out of their way to save its life! The worst you’ll endure is the non-gratuitous death of a boar and a bunch of monkey’s that are manhandled while being captured alive so they can be donated to a center that uses its proceeds to help those in need! The central plot involves a lost professor and the obsessive reporter who believes he is still alive somewhere in the Amazon. With the help of an aspiring anthropologist, a pilot, an all-purpose water-skiing tough guy, and even the occasional completely mad loner, our endlessly driven heroine sets out to locate and/or save the missing researcher. Along the way they encounter all manner of nasty individuals; pirates that drug and box up native children for shipping to other countries so their organs can be sold (!), treasure hunting bandits whose greed knows no limits, and vengeful natives who don’t appreciate their monkey’s being stolen! Those treasure hunters believe our heroes can lead them to tremendous riches and as a method of torture (to get information) break out an incredibly large snake to castrate one of the leads with. This movie is filled with such set pieces (The flesh-eating fish is crawling into his what?!) and, although not often over-the-top, there is a little gore (F/X courtesy of Paolo Ricci) and plenty of violence on display. In the end, Green Inferno is a rousing and competent adventure featuring a very, very, cool soundtrack by Maurizio Dami! Entertaining and even a little surprising (especially considering the previous work of the semi-infamous director), you can now enjoy Green Inferno uncut (Other releases are missing footage!) and in the English language with Japanese subtitles.
