The acting is just appalling

I thought Ariel Levy (Alejandro), Ignacia Allamand (Kara), and Nicolas Martinez (Daniel) were all pretty decent. I wish Ignacia would have been around longer.
I notice that the characters I found believable were not Americans. I think because the American characters all seemed so unprepared and just not realistic.
Much of the dialogue was stiff when trying to be funny, vocal fry is always annoying, and they were surprised they would have to beep in the woods and that the threat of gun violence would be real. I didn't find that believable at all. Except for Justine because she was new. -

Sorry, but the script must have sucked. No guns, but the students all take their time to switch their phones to international calling (there's cell phone towers out there?). The groups leader couldn't convince a ball to roll down a hill, yet they unquestionably follow him completely unprepared into a rain forest? He doesn't mention that it's life or death until they're already there? Not even a knife? A bunch of healthy young adults can't overpower a village of malnourished children, 3 or 4 men and women. The group leader gives up, just get eaten alive, no resistance what's so even? There's more, but I've already wasted enough time in this movie.

I think the girl who played Justine (who is by the way Eli Roth's wife :)) was great. Her quality of acting was far better than the movie as a whole. Other than that, yeah, these were definitely not the best actors, but even with that, it could have been a much better movie.

No I never heard that expression. And yes the acting in this movie sucked.

Definitely the worst acting I've seen in a long time and indeed much harder to watch than the gore. If Roth is going to keep giving Lorenza Izzo roles because he's banging her the least he could do is pay for some acting lessons. I mean, why should we have to suffer just because he has a hard-on for this bimbo.

I can imagine the producers saying, "hey, we need a vacuous, self centred, talentless cockwomble to play the part of the lead's roommate.let's just get sky ferreira to play herself"
"What's your name?"
"beep you. That's my name" -

I thought the acting was horrible until they were in Peru and then either I was numb to the bad acting or I bought bought into the story enough to ignore it. That being said the awful acting I did notice lost it a few points.

Very bad actors who would cast so many bad actors together, please?
There wasn't any decent actor in this movie or, at least, they were very bad directed by Eli Roth and didn't know how to make a poor script believable. -

I have to disagree. Sure the filming was good, the effects were good, everything else (acting, script, etc) was some of the worst tripe I have seen. this is almost a characature of a gorefest. Even Romeros early work blows this away. Don't waste your time on this dreadful mess.
