Watch: 2 Trailers For Eli Roth's 'The Green Inferno' Head Into A Jungle Of Terror

It has taken a while for Eli Roth‘s "The Green Inferno" to land in cinemas after doing runs, starting in 2013 at the Toronto International Film Festival, Edinburgh International Film Festival, and Sitges – Catalonian International Film Festival. After running into a distribution snag that delayed a 2014 release, the film is now ready and a new trailer has just dropped.

A homage and love letter to the Italian cannibal exploitation/horror films of the 1980s such as Umberto Lenzi’s 1981 “Cannibal Ferox” — the title is taken from a “film within a film” that screens in Ruggero Deodato’s 1980 cannibal exploitation flick “Cannibal Holocaust” — Roth’s ‘Green Inferno’ follows a group of young, idealistic, privileged, and pretentious college activists who travel from New York to the Amazon in order to save the rainforest and a vanishing native tribe. When their plane crashes in the jungle, they are ironically taken hostage by the very tribe they are trying to protect, a tribe that also engages in the age-old tradition of cannibalism.

Starring Lorena Izzo, Sky Ferrerira, Ariel Levy, Daryl Sabara, and Richard Burgi, "The Green Inferno" opens on September 25th.
