raw meat for dinner . . .

An Italian production, Eaten Alive (Mangiati Vivi) is a mind-numbing fantasy adventure set in the jungles of New Guinea, involving cannibals, and a religious cult, similar to that in Jonestown, Guyana. This film is not for the squeamish, as true to the title, people are indeed eaten alive. Also served up are ample nudity, dismemberment, sexual abuse, rape, decapitation, severed genetalia, and the butchery of humans and animals. Does it sound like a fun time?
Sheila Morris (Janet Agren) leaves New York for New Guinea, in search of her older sister Diane (Paola Senatore) who has vanished there. Upon arrival, she enlists the help of adventurer Mark Butler (Robert Kerman) to act as a guide. The ill prepared pair head into the jungle, and against long odds, do manage to locate Diana, living at religious sanctuary deep in the wilds, called the `unification village'. The group is led by the charismatic Jonas Melvyn (Ivan Rassimov), who apparently keeps his subjects under control through the use of religion, intimidation, and drugs. It is a bizarre situation, and Jonas who enjoys abusing women while they are under the influence, soon has Sheila naked and painted gold. The jungle is infested with cannibals, who make escape from the village nearly impossible. Butler finds this is true when he attempts an escape, only to be forced to return to the village by the ferocious blood thirsty cannibals. Enlisting the help of a native woman (Me Me Lai), Butler comes up with a final ill-fated plan for escape.
This version of director Umberto Lenzi's film runs just over 92 minutes long (not the 87 minutes stated on the back cover), and features some shocking scenes of brutality, where people are hacked up and consumed raw, in a most casual manner. Whether realistic or not, there are few things as terrifying as being on the bottom of the food chain. The cannibals function similar to a traditional monster, and are turned loose for best dramatic effect. The religious cult element adds even more campy madness to the mix, pushing matters well over the top. Jonas rules like an emperor, and he and many in his group, appear remarkably well groomed for living in the middle of a forest. Sheila's makeup is always immaculate, and her clothes never seem to get dirty. Butler, the supposed expert, isn't very successful at making his way in the jungle, yet manages to survive.
In the cannibal film genre, this is perhaps one of the less `realistic' entries. If you have a stout heart, and want some pretty raw thrills, you may want to check this out. The extras include some interesting interviews with Umberto Lenzi, Robert Kerman, and Ivan Rasimov. The film is also available as part of the Jungle Horrors Triple Feature, which also includes Jungle Holocaust and Massacre in Dinosaur Valley.

Bottom of the Italian barrel
by Steven Serednesky
This movie gets 2 stars only for it';s gore content. if you are a completest who needs to see every cannibal gore movie, then by all means check this out... just don't expect much. This movies tries to mix a Jim Jones type cult w/ cannibals. The gore is poorly done. The movie is hard to watch. Not the best of it's genre.
3/5
a cannibal mix-tape of sorts
by M. T. Walters (Huntington, WV USA)
this film is obviously for cannibal sub-genre completists. but if you're closely acquainted with the other notable cannibal films you will quickly notice one thing: umberto lenzi unabashedly stole whole chunks from other films to put into eaten alive. how copyright laws in italy work is beyond me! it is entertaining for what it is, and anything with kerman or rassimov in it is going to be at least fun for an hour or two. but i cant deny stealing jungle holocaust's scene of me me lai being cut open, gutted, and then having hot rocks thrown into her chest cavity to cook the meat, cause really every movie should put that scene in at some point. just think of the possibilities!
3/5
Not a bad movie
by Larry M. Smith (USA)
This movie i liked, not really good, has that "Grind house" feeling in the movie. I remember this movie as "Emerald Jungle" though many, many moons ago, but, either way all the same. I also felt, that maybe some scenes were deleted maybe? in the film, but, i could be wrong...its been awhile since i saw the film till now. Anyways, the only bad thing about the film was again the animal killings and that "let the camera linger on it for awhile" type attitude towards it, didnt think that was cool..whats up with cannibal movies and animal killings?...i dont get it?...anyways, not a really bad film, but, i would suggest that you rent it first then buy.
4/5
cannibal mismash
by Luis Juarbe
umberto lenzis eaten alive is in my opinion way better than cannibal ferox. the film is so cheesy that its hillarious. the charectors, especially the main male charector, are funny to watch. the mane male charector slaps the female role every 5 minutes so she calms down or so she dosnt give up their hiding place. the worst thing about the film is that there are about 4 or 5 scenes from different cannibal movies including lenzis man from deep river. there are also scenes from lungle holocaust and mountain of the cannibal god, and i dont mean minor scenes, i mean big scenes, mostly gore scenes. the scenes actually shot for the film have some gory moments including a decapitation, an ear being cut off and a cannibalization scene were a breast is cut off. throw in some brutal rape scenes and a topless me me lai and you have yourself a pretty decent exploitation flick.
