The Green Inferno was released on September 30, 2016, in the United States, but it was initially produced and filmed in 2013. The movie boasts an impressive cast, including Elizabeth Olsen, James Franco, Kate Mara, and Lawrence Gilliard Jr. The film received mixed reviews from critics, but it has gained a cult following over the years.
Eli Roth didn’t just make a scary movie; he made a love letter to films like Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust (the film’s title is actually the name of the documentary within Cannibal Holocaust ).
A sequel titled was announced shortly after the original's premiere.
