I do not understand the success that Eli Roth has had. His movies seem juvenile and torture porn seems to be his choice.
If you have seen Cannibal Holocaust then skip this as it adds nothing knew to the genre.
This is about a bunch of wealthy (above average at least) middle class white kids that go to South America to boycott destroying the rain forest and end up getting caught by a Cannibal Tribe.
Unfortunately, the production company paid the tribal people money to act in movie even though they have never seen TV before. Lets just say it shows that they don't understand what TV/Movies are.
The sad part is that this movie really could have tried to make a very in-PC point that maybe the loggers are the good guys and the tribes (at least if they really were cannibals) need to be wiped out. It also missed it's chance to show that kids in college boycott things they know very little about makes them seem like the dumb people in this show.
I cannot guarantee that added a little more commentary in it would make it a better movie but I don't see how it can be worse.
Roth delivers plenty of gore like all his films but is nothing any seasoned film-goers has not seen many times before.
I truly believe with a smarter plot, perhaps more humor, and creating more of a thin line could have made this a much smarter horror movie and allow it to stand on it's own merit other than being nothing more than an update of Cannibal Holocaust.
