The Green Inferno's premiere at TIFF last weekend generated quite a bit of positive buzz, so we're not surprised to hear that Open Road Films has acquired the movie and plans to give it a wide theatrical release in the US. Open Road has been responsible for a number of theatrical genre releases in the US including Silent Hill: Revelation, A Haunted House, and the upcoming Machete Kills.
Not even a target release window was mentioned, but we'd be very surprised if the movie made it to theaters this year. This news comes courtesy of THR. We'll let Daily Dead readers know as soon as more details become available. In the meantime, catch up on our recent coverage, including our review and details on the upcoming sequel:
“How far would you go for a cause you believe in? In horror master Eli Roth’s terrifying new film, a group of college students take their humanitarian protest from New York to the Amazon jungle, only to get kidnapped by the native tribe they came to save: a tribe that still practices the ancient rite of cannibalism, and has a healthy appetite for intruders.”
