The Green Inferno has also been interpreted through a feminist lens, with some critics arguing that the film serves as a critique of patriarchal societies. The character of Dawn, played by Kiersten Price, serves as a symbol of feminist resistance against patriarchal norms.

Roth trades torture-porn mechanics for something more anthropological, staging elaborate sequences of tribal rituals that feel simultaneously authentic and exaggerated for maximum shock value.
