"Eaten Alive!" is a pretty pedestrian cannibal movie, assuming that such a thing even exists. Writer/director Umberto Lenzi definitely seems competent enough around a camera, but there are just no new ideas whatsoever in this one. Every set piece Lenzi gives us looks like it has been deleted from better movies. Watching bunches of angry natives eating rich white people will always be disturbing to some level, but this one doesn't even come close to the gripping atmosphere of say, "Cannibal Holocaust" (to name the obvious example). It isn't completely without merits though. Me Me Lai clearly hadn't gotten any less hot since she played the exact same role in "Lost Cannibal World" (i.e. fake-breasted tribe girl), so it has the eye-candy factor going for it. The cinematography is also breath-takingly beautiful, though I don't think there are many directors who can shoot ugly scenes in a jungle (without underestimating Bruno Mattei). And lastly: the cult storyline is a bit obnoxious and gets waaaaaaaaay too much screen time, but it does provide us with a great performance by genre regular Ivan Rassimov. This dude has got to be the Vincent Price of cannibal flicks, really hammy but really fun. Overall "Eaten Alive!" is watchable, but only if you're really into the genre.

I Thought that Eaten Alive! was a good film. It is one of the less gruesome cannibal films. In New York a mysterious person hunts down certain victims on the streets and kills them with darts dipped in Cobra venom. The killer is eventually killed himself, and it is found out that he was a member of a strange religious cult deep in the New Guinea jungle. A religious cult of cannibals. A woman from New York goes to search for the cult, and tries to find her sister who has gone missing in the jungle. There is a lot of gore and nudity in the film which can be strong. This was a great film which was directed by Umberto Lenzi.

Contains nudity/rape, blood both original and ripped off, a scene of body painting. A cult that has its HQ in the middle of a jungle infested by evil cannibals receives some unwanted visitors in the form a young woman (and company) who are looking for her lost sister. - - - Made after "Man From Deep River" and before "Cannibal Ferox," this is Lenzi's weakest cannibal movie, but it's also the least offensive. Much of the gore and animal killings were taken from other movies, but the plot that has been interjected between them is nearly jaw dropping in its ridiculousness. All the fun that comes from this one is because the movie is so concerned with being absolutely retarded that it becomes humorous. Most importantly, it keeps attention through the run time and threw in just enough sleaze to sate my thirst(without overdoing it like the genre is known). Mediocre, but I think that's being rather kind.* * out of 4

This movie contains real animals been killed, like a monkey been eaten by a snake and an crocible been cut open. I find this totally deranged and sick, and seriously question the mental health of the director of this trash.This movie is so stupid and daft, that it has no logic at all.There is a lot of boobs and sex in this movie, still don't bother viewing this trash for that, if you want to see boobs and sex, watch a porno instead. There is also rape scenes in this movie, which i found disgusting, like women been raped and cut up, and eaten. This movie is for sadists and those who get their kicks, seeing people been cut up and eaten.A lot of the animals, like the monkey that appeared in this movie, there is none in the jungles of New Guinea. The local characters, most of them appeared to be Asian and none look like they come from New Guinea. It looks like, this movie was made around the grounds of a resort, which i bet it was.Stay away from this trash, its sick and deranged.
