THE GREEN INFERNO MOVIE REVIEW | POSSESSEDBYHORROR 

I don’t know if it’s because of the hat, but you really reminded me of Violet Harmon in this video!

I think the reason I and many other people consider this movie racist is because it perpetuates racist stereotypes about indigenous people. The Amazon Watch, a nonprofit organization that works to protect the rain forest and the rights of indigenous people fear that the movie is going to help the Peruvian government to introduce policies that will force contact with the indigenous tribes of the rain forest. Eli Roth even said that motivation for the film came from pissing off SJW's.

its racist in the sense that these tribes result to cannibalism which is one of the rarest things (as you mention there are no tribes in the amazon who do this) they are deemed as "primitive" and as "savages" i study anthropology and htis really reflects how some early findings by anthropologists were very similar to this situation where they label the tribes and people as being less than and thats exactly what this film does. i personally think eli was mocking this old armchair type mentality but its still very problematic as a topic.

That mustard cardigan color looks amazing on you! X

I liked it. The first death where Jonah gets chopped up was very disturbing, but I was expecting alot more gore afterwards and felt a little disappointed. But overall I liked it

"Which is a really inaccurate way to tell if someone's a virgin or not." LOL

The gore was pretty phenomenal. I honestly turned away at a few points, which I never do. Honestly though, I felt that the plot was very muddy and almost didn't justify an entire movie? It was almost too convoluted. All in all, it was a solid B-. Also, I absolutely love your cardigan!

I lost it when you brushed your hair LOL

I didn't understand the end when she said that the tribe didn't try to hurt her. Was it because the boy helped her?

actually in the weed part they didn’t eat the girls body that the weed was in, the put it in a furnace and “cooked” her body first, so the smoke was what got them high. just a small correction lol even though this video is literally 4 years old

Your face tho when your talking about the weed when you say "It's gonna fuck em up" Lmao I love you

just saw it. so mortified right now.

the part where you were talking about the tribe getting stoned from eating the girl cracked me the heck up

9:00 OMG why do you always do this when I am drinking something?! I was laughing my ass off

I'm with you on the Crimson Peak front. I have been waiting for this movie since Del Toro announced he was doing another horror movie. I am so excited and I look forward to your review!

this moving was horrifying amazing!

I heard that Eli Roth did a movie called Clown recently, the trailer alone really freaked me out (probably has something to do with my fear of clowns but whatever lol) so it would be awesome if you could do a review of that!! And I can't wait for the next AHS episode :D

And I think with the ending they are setting it up for a sequel

I also had super high expectations for this because I knew that Eli Roth was really inspired by Cannibal Holocaust (one of the most fucked up, disturbing movies I've ever seen). It didn't live up to my high hopes but I did enjoy it and found myself laughing quite a bit (when she fell in the river...I still crack up at the thought). Sky Ferreira's acting was pretty comical, too. Anyway I guess I'm just a gross human being because I could have used about 90% more gore to be truly shocked

LOL, the reason I love your review videos is so that I don't have to watch these dumb movies but can still know the storyline.

could you review maniac? It's on netflix and I watch horror all the time and I actually had to turn it off halfway through because it made me nauseous. It might be good for a react video!

"I know I'm morbid" haha. Great review! :)

am so excited to see you did this movie! And i crack up every time your cats make an appearnce in your videos ! (even if they are not being seen and just doing "cat" things!!!

When are you going to review Crimson Peak?!?!?!

Thanks!

Love you so much!

I think this film should get some kind of sequel. They ended it on a slight cliff hanger

This is really irrelevant, but I just watched Starry Eyes (after watching your review) and I realized that Nick Simmons (Gene Simmons' son) was in it! Funny how he was miles taller than everyone else. Your review made me really want to watch it and I totally agree with the things you said about it!

I feel like Eli Roth does that. He builds up a lot of plot but when shit hits the fan, the plot is out the window. Great review, as always!

Hey Sarah, when you get the chance could you review "The Atticus Institute" ? Pleeeaaseeee

If you really like Sky Ferreira she did some indie films a few years ago. One is called Putty Hill and it's really beautiful, you should try and find it! Not a horror though, unfortunately.

I really didn't like the ending when she lied about what happened there honestly. I'd want justice when it comes to my friends.

The thing I was most disturbed by in the film was the fact that it seemed racist. The actors were from a real tribe, so I'm not sure if that makes it better... it was just pretty uncomfortable, and not in a good way. I really hate the stereotype that "undiscovered tribes" are dangerous or cannibals. Cannibalism has been a tradition in some civilizations, but not like this. Not like we think. There were rituals involving eating dead relatives or things like that, but I don't think that's a thing anymore. It's a VERY overblown fear that just won't happen to you. I would've preferred this film be about a cannibalistic serial killer. That actually could happen. I'm not the kind of person who looks for racism either; this film just felt pretty damn insensitive to me. Other than that, I didn't find this movie scary at all. This just wouldn't happen. If I crashed in the Amazon, I'd be more worried about diseases and parasites than cannibalism. Oh, and the bugs. Ugh, the bugs. Also, they wouldn't force her to have FGM. That's totally ridiculous. I kind of liked that she lied about the tribe; it's because it was a tribute to Cannibal Holocaust (I think?). I think she didn't want the kid who helped her to get killed. Maybe, idk. It was more interesting and confusing than frustrating. The credits scene was stupid af, though. Weirdly, despite all this, I did somewhat enjoy this film. I'd give it a 5/10. It is kind of cool that it was actually filmed in the Amazon; the scenery was actually stunning. I just wish it was scarier. Like, as disgusting as this is, I wish that one of them had contracted a disease or something, because that is an actual threat in the Amazon. Or just go ALL OUT on the gore like they did with Cabin Fever. The gore was very underwhelming, like I was eating while watching this and don't regret it. Maybe I'm just morbid/ have a strong stomach idk. Also, this video is super old, so I doubt anyone will even see this lol I'm just revisiting my love of horror films. I agree with her decision to leave the leader behind. He was such a jerk that he deserved it. Again, I am morbid af. It's also because of her safety; what if she DID save him and he screwed her over again or double-crossed her somehow? He also got them into this situation and the m@sterbation scene was really gross (the second grossest part after the racism).

WAS WAITING ON THIS REVIEW! My boyfriend and I also saw it! He didn't like it, but I found it interesting! Since it was my first real cannibal film! But I love your reviews!

The movie was filmed two years ago and didn't get released until now so maybe they didn't release it unless now to edit some of the gore out to make it more mainstream maybe

so yeah. when ARE you gonna review Crimson Peak?

I love sky, but i saw a snip of her acting and it was pretty terrible

I actually don't really like "gore" movies that much, but I've gotten more into them lately. I tend to like to be more creeped out than disturbed I guess. I'm glad I didn't see it in theaters, but I plan to watch it at some point. And I think a good video idea would be similar to how people should get into horror, but with gory movies. I think I've just seen too messed up gory movies too soon or just crappy ones I didn't enjoy.

i did rlly enjoy the movie (overall as a gore horror movie). it messed with my mind which i like movies to do n which makes a movie become my favourites in the horror genre. but the racism does anger me, bc it's placing a stereotype on a tribe that irl probably try to stay safe n away from violence involving humans (but I'm not fully acknowledged on tribes n the lifestyle in rainforests as such so). but i did enjoy this movie n this review. sarah has amazing views n opinions on horror movies n it's so entertaining to see her review horror movies I've enjoyed/watched.

off topic of green inferno but have you seen 'come back to me' on netflix? i watched it the other day and it was pretty enjoyable i recommend it!!

You should review Mockingbird next! It's on netflix by the way. I'm kinda conflicted about whether I liked it or not, but regardless the aesthetics were great

You should do a review of Behind The Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon

I really feel that you would enjoy Crimson Peak.

Check out THE WITCH that's coming out, I think it looks super scary looking

And when I say a revenge thing I mean like Papua New Guinea there was a story someone told about a man who came and killed one of the women in the tribe so they had the reader AKA the shaman find out who the man was then they went to the tribe the man was part of and took him and killed him and ate him to assure his soul couldn't come back and haunt the tribe and its people there was a trial between both tribes before this even happened and there came to be a conclusion that the man they assumed was guilty by the shamans foresight was guilty and the tribe the man was part of let the other tribe have him its basically how we have the death sentence in jail except they took him killed him and ate him they also say they killed the person quick they never let them suffer then they ground his bones into dust and buried them under a stone grave to better assure his soul couldn't escape and haunt the tribe they even go on to say very rarely did they ever use human bones as weaponry because animals bones were stronger and more effective and more efficient that and they didn't want the burden of the person soul to haunt them and the tribe and if they did use human bones they'd have the shaman do a special ritual to keep the soul of the person from haunting them and the tribe that's something I've watched from a tribe who's actually told this story and they were elders about in their 60s or 70s maybe older they just looked like they were in their 60s or 70s I could be wrong about that one of the tribes member said he was a kid when he saw it happen

I really want to watch this movie! since I haven't seen it I don't have an opinion with regards to racism but, in every film there's a bad guy, so then all movies would be racist and offensive to a specific group, I think it's just what happens in films, and sometimes, although it is good to make observations, we need to take it less seriusly

Please review the ruins

I loved this movie, I thought it was so disturbing, but I think I loved it so much because Sky was in it

This movie isn't as sick as cannibal ferox that means let them die slowly in Italian I think

I agree I hated the weed scene wtf, they are literally blowing the most gnarliest drug in their faces weeds not gonna do anything to them

I thought the build up was just really slow so that's really why i didn't enjoy it and the ending kinda pissed me off.

❤

Ariel Levy appears there

How about other rich countries just want their rich land . They seriously don’t care how these indigenous peoples live there life . When I watch movies like this it remembers me of certain place/people 🤔🤔🤔 let’s say Africa. Over all I enjoyed the movie

Agree, waaay to much backstory going on in this movie. Didnt like the weed, or munchies scene either.

I was so excited so see this movie i looked past a few of the stupid moments like the weed and awful ending. i did find it disturbing and i did like the gore but i think it started off with the worst death the guy being chopped up was the worst for me to see. all in all i did really like it though. my problem also was i kept comparing it to cannibal holocaust.

man your videos are awesome lol. glad im not the only one who watched this movie to soley see the fucked up shit that happened😂

I just saw this movie I thought it was great

I liked the movie.

The acting was so awful, I swear the tribe was the movies only redeeming quality.

This is pretty hard to watch

This couldve been good.

don't get me wrong I love the way the actors act and even the villages people , and who was the movie directed

SLLLLLLAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYEEEEEERRRRRRR!!!

Well as an African American I just came to read the comments 😩😩😩😂😂😂😂😂

you should watch all cheerleaders die its on Netflix

There are cannibals in the amazon tho, movies about cannibal tribes are not racist. Of course they don't torture or make a group of people hostages watching each other die. But also people shouldn't walk alone in certain areas of the amazon, that's why people who lives in states near the area created creepy ass folclores hundreds of years ago, so kids wouldn't go in the forest. Now days people think everything is racist, if I make a movie in Angola and there are people with brown skin speaking Portuguese in the movie someone is going to say that the movie is racist because it didn't include all the skin colors that Angola has.

It's just cool to say this film is racist, just like it's cool to say Avatar is racist. Same people should stop saying the Vatican is full of child abusers if they are so sensitive about dark myths.

it a strong discation ,but I well not would like to be safe buy bee eating buy the way this carnivals eat people and get raip to find out if some time next is Virgen or not and sorry I believe in not killing , and I didn't like that the last girl didn't tell the true about the people who eat the people who happened to bee carnival it cruel to us what they do in their villages people or wjo trespasses their villages but those are there believe I just don't think that anyone can't ever bee civilised after been touched some people and eat them , and another in the way people who whose to paces to attack and trying to change the way they live so they don't bee abused it cool but in the way you are terrorising other is any way to safe other with out causing a bigger problem actives people's

People who see 'racism' in everything (esp films like this) are the same who use the word 'problematic' a lot and have never witnessed it first hand (& micagressions don't count!). Don't feel bad about enjoying this film- you don't need a PhD in anthropology to appreciate it, just a sense of perspective.

this movie is some of the WORST acting!!

You have a boyfriend🙄 damn!

racism lol are you serious...

9:26 you’ve obviously never ingested a large amount of cannibalis’ 🫠🫠🫠🫠
