Eli Roth's homage to the Italian cannibal movies of the '70s and '80s tracks a group of environmental activists to the Peruvian Amazon, where (naturally) their plane crashes deep in the jungle. The lucky ones die in the crash. The others become the guests of a tribe of headhunters and discover to their horror that the natives aren't restless as much as they are hungry. The largest of the environmentalists soon becomes an entrée - you get to watch him being carved up, seasoned, baked and devoured - while the others, confined to a pigpen, wait their turn. My favorite part was when the captives try to escape by stuffing one of their dead comrades with marijuana, hoping to distract the cannibals by getting them stoned and figuring that logically she'll be on the menu next. Sure enough, the cannibals cook and eat her and get all giggly and high, and it looks like the plan might work, except for the one thing the prisoners failed to take into account: Now the cannibals have the munchies. See? Just when you think it can't get any worse, it gets worse. The lucky ones died in the crash.
