Open Road Films acquired Eli Roth’s upcoming cannibal horror The Green Inferno shortly after the film premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) in September. Since then, we expected to see new material appear online like a trailer, or maybe even a scene from Inferno to give us a bloody taste at Roth’s new horror masterpiece. Yes, I’m already saying a “masterpiece” because some critics are calling it that after TIFF. However, nothing was released until Roth made a disguised appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno to talk a bit about his new film inspired by Cannibal Holocaust, and drop the first ever clip from Inferno.
Finally, something to see and talk about, you can watch the video clip right above. In short, the scene show us the initial moment the airplane’s engine sets on fire before it crashes. A bunch of students are aboard, heading home after a successful protest to save the Amazon. Roth said the scene has no CGI whatsoever.
Check it out and enjoy!
