It’s hard to get a movie this violent released, period. I’m telling you, The Green Inferno is the single goriest, most bloody, intense horror film I’ve done. When I say this is my mic drop, it’s like, that’s it, I’m done; I got no where to go from here. – Eli Roth with ShockTillYouDrop.com

Watch the red band trailer in the player above and let us know what you think and if you’re planning to see this upon its release.

The Green Inferno — starring Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, Daryl Sabara, and Kirby Bliss Blanton — marks Eli Roth’s first stint in the director’s chair since his Hostel franchise, and we know that this is going to be some next-level shit.

The Very G-Rated Synopsis From IMDB:

A group of student activists travels to the Amazon to save the rain forest and soon discover that they are not alone, and that no good deed goes unpunished.

Yup, that tells us that people get eaten alive, doesn’t it?

The Green Inferno opens in theaters on September 25th, and it’s one that shouldn’t be missed.

Starting on August 23, veteran horror director Eli Roth is kicking off a special Fan Appreciation Tour at Wizard World in Chicago to thank his fans for their loyalty and support of the theatrical release of his cannibal film The Green Inferno, which is officially slated for September 25.

Roth announced his tour via The Green Inferno‘s Facebook fan page yesterday. In a press release, he expressed his excitement for the tour.

I am so excited to hit the road and spend time with the fans whose undying support really helped bring The Green Inferno to theaters nationwide. We plan to pull out all the stops and give them the ultimate Green Inferno experience, with special surprises in every city.

The Fan Appreciation Tour for The Green Inferno will feature special screenings, Q&As, guest appearances and private parties for fans in multiple cities. The stops include San Francisco on September 14, Los Angeles on September 15, Miami on September 17 and New York on September 21, and additional cities will be named at a later date.

In addition, the tour will also feature a companion online experience with the director, which is intended to bring fans around the country behind-the-scenes for an insider’s look at Eli as he travels from city to city to meet his fans.

Eli Roth recently expressed his thoughts on the theatrical release:

The Green Inferno is a wild, fun ride that took us deeper into the Amazon than anyone has ever taken a film crew. BH Tilt is a forward-thinking label that is helping to redefine how genre movies can be released. I want to express my deep gratitude to the fans for their incredible support of this movie and to everyone at Blumhouse and Universal for making sure fans can experience the film in theaters across the country.

The film stars Lorenza Izzo, Ariel Levy, and Aaron Burns. In The Green Inferno, “a group of student activists travels to the Amazon to save the rain forest and soon discovers that they are not alone, and that no good deed goes unpunished.”

Enjoy the new trailer!

After a couple of years, rumors, and a misstep by yours truly, Eli Roth‘s cannibal film, The Green Inferno, is finally getting a theatrical release.

According to Variety, Blumhouse Productions will team with Universal and Focus Features to release The Green Inferno on 1,000 screens this September 25th. Although Open Road purchased the movie two years ago at the Toronto Film Festival, the company is longer involved. About the upcoming release, Roth said:

BH Tilt [a Blumhouse label] is a forward-thinking label that is helping to redefine how genre movies can be released. I want to express my deep gratitude to the fans for their incredible support of this movie and to everyone at Blumhouse and Universal for making sure fans can experience the film in theaters across the country.

For those who really wanted to see The Green Inferno at the Fantasia Film Festival earlier this month and missed it, get ready to be disappointed yet again with the following update on the theatrical release of the movie. Eli Roth’s fourth horror movie in six years, The Green Inferno, was originally scheduled to drop in theaters next month, on September 5th, but it’s now off the menu.

Roth unveiled the breaking news via a report by Deadline, which claims The Green Inferno is pulled indefinitely from theaters because of an issue over marketing expenses. Apparently, Worldview Entertainment agreed to cover the expenses for publicity, however, that quickly changed after CEO Christopher Woodrow abruptly left the company in early June.

This happened because financier Worldview Entertainment is balking at ex-CEO Christopher Woodrow’s commitment to provide the P&A [prints and advertising costs].

We [Worldview] just don’t have the money to pay for the release.

Although, fans may never have the chance to see The Green Inferno in theaters, other solutions are being considered, like a possible straight-to-VOD release in the very near future.

We’ll keep you updated when something more official is announced. In the meantime, watch the second trailer for the movie right below.

The world also doesn’t have enough Eli Roth movies. Roth, whose last major directorial effort was the underappreciated Hostel Part II, has been busy drinking champagne and floating in a pool made entirely of Quentin Tarantino’s dreams. Sure, he co-wrote and acted in the decent earthquake thriller Aftershock, produced the great The Last Exorcism, and also co-wrote and produced the entertaining, but flawed The Man With The Iron Fists, but I’ve been waiting for a full on Eli Roth effort. That’s partly because I think he’s talented, and partly because I genuinely like the guy. In every Eli Roth interview, he seems to be on the verge of exploding into a 40-minute rant about how great a certain exploitation movie is, and I can appreciate that kind of enthusiasm in a world where enthusiasm has been replaced by a series of “mehs” and irony.

It’s only right that, sensing this lack in two major properties in the Earth’s natural balance, God brought Roth and cannibal movies together for The Green Inferno.

This trailer doesn’t reveal much, but it’s creepy. It’s the kind of horror trailer that needs to be done more often, one that is quiet and intense. I don’t need heavy, bombastic music to play behind the girl’s screams. Her cries are more than enough. I also like the fact that it brings up, in the end, that the film was shot on location and the native tribe had never been featured on film before. That might not matter much to some, but I think it’s cool. It doesn’t necessarily add legitimacy to the cannibalism you see, but it’s better than, “Here’s a movie filmed in Peru, about another culture, brought to you exclusively by wealthy white people.”
Ruggero Deodato would be proud.

The Green Inferno is set to be released on September 5, 2014.

Well I’m a big fan of Cannibal Holocaust and of that entire short-lived Italian cannibal genre… we went to a village in Peru that had remained uncontacted by the outside world. They had no idea what we were doing — they hadn’t seen movie crews or even seen a movie.
