Nato And Remy’s Last Stand: Ten 2014 Horror Films To Look Forward To!

Wait - 2013 is coming to a close already?! I feel like just yesterday I was finding out about Fede Alvarez's Evil Dead remake, debating with my horror loving brethren whether or not such a sacred property should be touched. Now, here I am starting to format my "Best Of/Worst Of" lists for 2013's slew of horror films, reflecting on a year that saw tremendous highs and rock-bottom lows. While Remdog and I already reflected on our predictions from 2013, and how right/wrong we both were, it's now time to put the past behind us, and look forward to an entirely fresh batch of horror movies - 2014 horror time!

Nato – The Green Inferno

The-Green-Inferno

This is one I’m kicking myself over, because there was a chance to catch Eli Roth’s The Green Inferno during a poorly publicized horror film festival at the Lincoln Center (NYC) – and I missed it. I’m not as mad that I couldn’t make it all the way to Toronto for its true premiere, but here was a screening right in New York City I would have hopped on a subway for immediately. Oh well, at least I got to see Bobcat Goldthwait’s Willow Creek at the festival, so SOMETHING good came out of it – but boy am I dying to see The Green Inferno.

Paying tribute to Ruggero Deodato’s Cannibal Holocaust, Roth went deep into a dense jungle to film his own tale of primitive cannibalism, as a group of student activists crash land in the Amazon and are met by some, well, “misunderstood” locals. Yes, this just screams Eli Roth’s name, because the scenario begs for gross, squishy, bloody, gutsy, stomach-churning gore. I mean, cannibals eat people, so expect ample amounts of flesh-munching, skin-tearing, and organ-eating – damn, all this talk is making me hungry. Is it lunch time yet?

No, seriously, The Green Inferno seems like the perfect film to bring Eli Roth back into the horror director spotlight. I cannot wait. I wish there was some voodoo magic to make a screening happen this very second, but as of now, no release date has been announced. Keep your eyes peeled!
