The Green Inferno (2015) Collector's Edition

[Chaotic]

**NEW TITLE ANNOUNCEMENT**

Eli Roth’s cannibalistic recent epic THE GREEN INFERNO (and one of the goriest R-rated films we’ve personally ever seen) is coming to Scream Factory in an all-new Blu-ray Collector’s Edition! Here are the early details we have at present time:

• National street date for U.S. and Canada territories (Region A) is April 23rd
• Release will come with a slipcover (guaranteed for three
months after its original release date).
• The newly-commissioned artwork pictured (and Director-approved) comes to us from Devon Whitehead (Valentine, Trick r Treat). This art will be front-facing and the reverse side of the wrap will the original theatrical poster design.
• Extras are still in progress and will be announced later in March. What we can confirm today is that will have an all-new in-depth lengthy interview with Roth and cast members. Additionally, any extras that were on the prior release of the film will be ported over.
• A unique surprise from us: Each release will come with a never-before-released CD soundtrack of the score by composer Manuel Riveiro and includes bonus tracks, which will make this a 2-disc set.

Pre-orders on our site begin today:

• Standard offer: Includes the Blu-ray plus a rolled 18” x 24” poster of the new art. The posters will be made at a limited-run of 700 pieces. https://www.shoutfactory.com/…/the-g...no-collector-…

• Deluxe offer (Only 250 units available): Includes the Blu-ray, the rolled 18” x 24” and a slipcover signed by Eli Roth. Limit one per customer. https://www.shoutfactory.com/…/the-g...no-collector-…

• The release (sans poster) will also be made available at other retailers to pre-order soon.

Ordered the blu-ray signed by Eli Roth. Very cool addition to my collection. Thanks for the heads up Chaotic!

Pretty sweet they’re offering Eli Roth signed copies.

I'm in for a signed copy.

I don't love any of them, but it seems like I enjoy Roth's movies more than the average horror fan. I paid $3 for the current Green Inferno Bluray a while back, so I'm not as much interested in the movie here. I am hoping the features will be pretty big on this release though. I love to hear Roth talk horror, so if we get a feature length doc on him talking the history of cannibal movies or something, it'll be worth the price of admission for me.

I went for the signed copy.

This is a flawed movie, but it's got its moments. More importantly, I always enjoy listening to Roth's interviews.

Saw this theatrically and enjoyed it not just for the Cannibal movies tribute but also for the snowflakes commentary; Roth could have easily just done another dumb cannibal movie but adding that political element and have it play out in the gross out moments was IMO genius, I enjoyed every minute of it.

I will await the extras to see if I'll upgrade the barebones release, but nice to see it getting some love from the labels.

I don't see this being a big seller for SF

There were only 250 of them. I'm surprised it lasted so long to be honest.

Why are you allowed to post in threads regarding movies that don't interest you??? SMH

Almost pulled the trigger on the signed copy, but I had other uses of my dough.

I like Eli Roth. I may not list his movies anywhere near my all time favorites but I give him a lot of credit. Say what you will about “torture porn” but it still happened. It became mainstream. And the go to’s for the origins of it are usually Saw and Hostel. And the directors of those had pretty successful 2018s with non-horror films, at least not horror in the Saw/Hostel sense.

Plus I like Roth in interviews and that doc/miniseries he did on AMC about horror genres is very enjoyable. And that’s all I have to say about that...for now.

Interesting choice for a SF release. This is my favorite Cannibal film (yes I've seen others) but not sure if I'll pick it up or not yet. Would have gone for the signed copy for sure but it's already sold out.

I think Eli Roth is a very interesting filmmaker that makes bold choices but in my opinion they rarely ever pay off. This is a movie that I was ridiculously excited for, i’m a fan of the original Cannibal Hollocaust but this remake was a giant misguided missed opportunity. I was so let down when I finally saw this on blu-ray. Yes, there’s social commentary and a message but he does a horrible job at getting it across and that ending was so anti-climatic and boring. I don’t understand how Roth always has these interesting ideas and isn’t afraid to pull punches but still they never come together right.

That said, depending on the new bonus features I might pick this up when it’s on sale for $15. I enjoy the bonus features on Roth’s movies. It’s always fun to watch his craft and to try and figure out what exactly he was trying to achieve, he’s kind of the Michael Bay of horror, very misguided movies but there’s something there

The Green Inferno has more in common with Cannibal Ferox than it does with Cannibal Holocaust, although both are clear influences.

I’m going to revisit those two before I see The Green Inferno again by way of this Blu-ray, even though they both bum me out somewhat.

Sky Ferreira, who plays the lead girl’s college friend in the Roth film, is not the best actress in the world, but I sure do love her music.

this had a lot going for it, until the actually ending which fell flat on it's face ...

I did a mini cannibal marathon last year during the lead up to the release of Eaten Alive. My enjoyment of The Green Inferno was actually considerably lessened after directly comparing it to the other films it attempts to emulate. It still currently stands as my 3rd favorite film from the genre, but direct comparisons actually hurt it due to it being quite tame by comparison. Under it's own merits it's an entertaining film, but it lacks the exploitative/mean quality's that often permeates many films of this sub genre which ultimately hurt it in the end.

I still need to pick up Jungle Holocaust and Slave of the Cannibal God's recent releases so the order may still change as I plan to have another marathon once I've picked up those 2 releases (while also including "The Man from Deep River" which missed the last marathon as well) but at the same time I wouldn't be shocked to see it stay firmly planted in the 3rd position as well.
