Eli Roth is definitely one of the most controversial directors out there right now. With him, you know exactly what you're in for; nasty, unlikable characters meeting their ends in even nastier, more unlikable ways. You definitely can't accuse him of backing down something I appreciate in a horror movie. And this one is fucking nuts. These environmental activists travel to the Amazon to save the jungle and the natives take them as being the very villains that they are currently fighting against. There's a cannibal/dismemberment scene early on that's easily one of the most gruesome of the decade, it definitely sets the tone early on, making the viewer feel very uncomfortable and disturbed. It's almost a relief later on when the dark comic relief sets in; such as the natives getting high followed by a severe case of the munchies. All of this Shit is so insane you have to see it to believe it. The lead girl; Lorenza Izzo is great as well and it wouldn't shock me if Eli Roth ends up using her in future projects. Definitely a tough but recommended horror entry to swallow.
3/4
