The Green Inferno is less a riff on spaghetti splatter flicks like Cannibal Holocaust than a desperate-to-shock pastiche of guts and gore served with a wink to audiences with strong stomachs. You know who you are.

Name : Katie Walsh / Alias : Tribune News Service
A flop of a horror film that overestimates gore for actual scares.

Name : Martin Tsai / Alias : Los Angeles Times
The film is measured and executed effectively to satiate horror fans' bloodlust, yet its underlying messages are just so repugnant.

Name : Barry Hertz / Alias : Globe and Mail
Whatever criticism you want to throw at Roth, at least the director stays true to his singular, repulsive vision: His cannibals-gone-wild tale is a work of unrelenting and squishy terror.

Name : Simon Abrams / Alias : RogerEbert.com
"The Green Inferno" is not exactly a feel-good film, but it gets a very particular job done.

Name : Michael Ordona / Alias : San Francisco Chronicle
"The Green Inferno" is a breezy college comedy. Until it's not. Then it's really, really not.

Name : David Edelstein / Alias : New York Magazine/Vulture
The point is to feel something visceral, extreme. Eli Roth is extremely extreme. My head is off to him.

Name : Alison Willmore / Alias : BuzzFeed News
Any sense that the kids die because they never bothered to research the tribe they were trying to save is undermined by the movie's treatment of the natives as just as abstract.

Name : Michael Nordine / Alias : Village Voice
The more brutal this becomes, the less anything other than blood and guts seems to matter. Just because watching every gory detail of a man getting torn limb from limb turns the stomach doesn't mean it quickens the pulse.

Name : Geoff Berkshire / Alias : Variety
A project that boasts all the appeal (and aroma) of a carcass rotting in the rainforest.

Name : Neil Genzlinger / Alias : New York Times
The movie is a revisiting of what is often called the cannibal subgenre, a vile strain of films in which Westerners encounter tribes in the jungle.

Name : Kyle Smith / Alias : New York Post
Finish your popcorn early if you're going to "The Green Inferno," and save the bucket to barf in.

Name : Rafer Guzman / Alias : Newsday
A nasty treat for those with strong stomachs.

Name : Scott Tobias / Alias : NPR
The Green Inferno can easily be dismissed as juvenilia, both in its sneering rebuke of political correctness and in its zeal for unearthing a horror tradition that should have been laid to rest.

Name : Inkoo Kang / Alias : TheWrap
Eli Roth's faux-smart, long-shelved, and exploitative-as-hell cannibal tale "The Green Inferno" is a remarkably perfect example of horror's unexamined white privilege.

Name : Todd Gilchrist / Alias : TheWrap
A serviceable reintroduction to Roth's idiosyncratic brand of horror, but it fails to either offend or exhilarate, instead chronicling the misadventures of a group of student activists with more technical acuity than singularity.

Name : A.A. Dowd / Alias : AV Club
The Green Inferno fancies itself a gory skewering of what Roth has repeatedly referred to as "slacktivism." But do his heroes/victims, who at one point put themselves directly in the line of fire, really qualify?
