Wow, this movie has one of the worst cinematography i have ever seen
It just looks so amateur

I don't know what version you watched but I watched it in HD 720p.

This topic is about cinematography, not resolution.
I don't want to see nudes on the internet. Just on film. Naked people are very cinematic.

Hahahaha cinematography has nothing to do how good the resolution is.
shareIt belongs on the SyFy channel, which is hopefully where Roth will spend his future.

Agreed.
I didn't hate Knock Knock though

Why would this movie be on SciFi. It's not science fiction. It's horror/thriller, or as haters like to put it "Torture Porn"
shareBecause of the cinematography. Did you not read the thread?

Because, it looks like a "poor" production, like the Syfy channel movies. Everything was kinda crappy and sloppy.
The acting sucked, the editing was horrible...
And the budget it's not an excuse. I saw plenty of movies with lower budgets than this one, that looked 10 times better. How big of a budget do you think Cannibal Holocaust had? And it looked better than this film.

Cannibal Holocaust was shot on film which is cumbersome and difficult for filming on location, especially in the jungle; The Green Inferno was shot on Canon digital cameras that were specially designed to be extremely lightweight and able to withstand high temperatures to shoot miles into the Amazon as they did, so that may explain why it looked so "cheap" but which I'll definitely give a pass any day. If anything, I'd stay that as a film is has a very naturalistic look fitting for the story, but each to his own I suppose.
shareMy thoughts exactly. Script was pretty terrible. Only enjoyable thing was the irony of the activists getting eaten by the people they were trying to "save." I wasnt expecting much going in, but it managed to miss even my low expectations.
shareExactly

The cinematography and editing were heads above the acting though.
shareLooked good enough for me.... in fact for 5 million it looked pretty dang good except for maybe the plane crash.

I don't think you saw the scene with the feline

It's the same with his show Hemlock Grove (at least the pilot which he directed). Everything had this hideously cheap, digital look. At least Green Inferno didn't have the weird piss-yellow cast that the Hemlock Grove pilot did.
shareI liked the color palette a lot. After sooo many dark unsaturated blueish brownish horror movies... I liked the bright greens, yellows of this movie. This would look much better on film and I think would solve many of the problems people have.
The acting... well... I think it influenced the way they shot this, especially the tribe scenes. And I see nothing wrong with the editing. I would do without a couple of fade to blacks and some scenes could be a little big tighter, but I don't think it's that terrible. I never felt confused by it, so... it must be acceptable.
Do you get this kind of gore on the scifi channel?
Just, check out Bone Tomahawk. They made it with half the budget and it is 10 times better.

Bone Tomahawk is pretty dull actually. Until the last half hour at least. I'd say they are on par.

"Bone Tomahawk is pretty dull actually. Until the last half hour at least. I'd say they are on par."
Agreed. I don't think Bone Tomahawk deserves quite as much praise as it's getting. I semi-liked it, but it's not especially compelling for atleast 70 or so minutes.
I much preferred The Green Inferno.
I didn't think the photography looked amateur. Didn't have a problem with the acting either.

Don't all of Eli Roth's movies look like they were shot by an amateur?
shareSorry but the cinematography was nothing short but gorgeous! The indigenous make up on Lorenza's face was breathtaking.

The Green Inferno had miserable cinematography and the cinematographer previously shot Aftershock, which was truly amateur quality. The DP and Roth collaborated again on Knock Knock, which for the most part was competently shot, with only a few shots falling apart in low light and looking like crummy video. It's a damn shame that Roth captured what must have been a grueling shoot deep in the amazon with such amateurish results -- there's plenty of decent digital cameras that would have produced better results, but he cheapened the beautiful environment with the crappy Cannon C300. Roth made Cabin Fever for peanuts and the film looks fantastic, the Hostel films are very classy looking movies (regardless of what you think of the films themselves) made for about what he shot The Green Inferno for. This was barely broadcast quality and certainly not big screen quality.
