Watch Eaten Alive! For Free

Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

If you think Cannibal Holocaust is a bad movie mainly because seven live animals died and women are treated badly, you ain't seen nothing yet. There is no movie that can make my blood boil like molten lava than Umberto Lenzi's Eaten Alive. Don't believe me? Let's take a good, long look at this movie....First of all, the acting. It's like the actors aren't putting any effort into their roles. It's also like Battlefield Earth minus the Klingon look-a-likes with dreadlocks. Second, like Cannibal Holocaust and presumably Jungle 2 Jungle, there are innocent live animals who died during the making of this piece of s---. An example of this is a grotesque scene where a crocodile is skinned alive.... or rather yet, stock footage of a crocodile getting skinned alive. But the worst is yet to come. I maybe no feminist, but there are no strong female characters in this movie at all. They are treated like slaves, beaten, slapped, raped, carved up, beheaded, and, hence the title of this movie, eaten alive.I watched the entire movie and I was absolutely furious by not only how cheesy or corny the acting is, but by how bad women are treated in this movie. I'm surprise feminist organizations didn't come after the director with pitchforks and torches! Can you imagine if they did the same thing to One Piece's female characters? I F------ CAN'T! Bottom Line: Terrible acting, generic music, live animals killed on camera, and negative stereotyping on women are the reasons why you should avoid Eaten Alive like the West Nile Virus. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to go and show this movie to a local feminist group.

I'm a pretty big fan of the cannibal genre and I find this to be one of my favorite cannibal movies. Eaten alive is in my opinion extremely underrated and not nearly as appreciated as it should be. It is everything you want a cannibal film to be. It contains violent and graphic death scenes, dismemberment and rape. Some of the scenes are only stock footage from other cannibal movies, but it all adds up to that exploitation trashy feeling we all came to see. I mean, it's an exploitation movie from Lenzi. That's what you get. There is a lot of fast zooming and bad scripting which is hilariously entertaining.It may not be as good as Cannibal Holocaust, and it is certainly not as violent and gruesome as Cannibal Holocaust. But overall it is a highly entertaining and cheesy cannibal movie which delivers the goods. If can also recommend JUNGLE HOLOCAUST, CANNIBAL FEROX and ZOMBI HOLOCAUST.

Again, as in other films dealing with cannibalism, we discover that someone has gone missing deep in a primitive, hostile and wild place. This time (for a change), it's not the Amazon, but rather New Guinea. What can be done about this missing person? What has become of them? Like so many before it, "Eaten Alive" sends it's protagonists alarmingly under-prepared into the jungle.Robert Kerman, a cannibal-film lover's Harrison Ford, takes us again on another adventure through the Green Inferno, (as Deodato might say!). He is a hired-gun (not literally), and is offered US$80,000 to recover Sheila's sister. That's about it, really. Why he is the man for the job we're never really told, but we soon see that he's pretty helpful, if not strangely emotional at points.It's not until things progress through some rather trying dramatic scenes that we finally get to see some hard-core gore. And, I must say, they do not disappoint much. Sure, the make-up effects may be a little basic (I hate when blood looks like paint), but the intention behind the acts of cruelty are really blood-curdling. One scene, where a woman's rib-cage is pried apart like a chicken-breast really is gruesome. Another scene treats a woman's breast like a side of beef - which is a shame because you get used to seeing them throughout countless of lead-up scenes! Musically, this film is mixed. The slower-tempo tracks are really effective, eerie, and catchy. However, the strangely up beat music (a cross of funk and disco) used in the urban scenes is really quite tasteless and confusing. Anyone who has seen Lenzi's other work, ("Cannibal Ferox" for one) will have heard this soundtrack before.There is a startling resemblance to a real event featured heavily in this film. For those who know of the Jonestown Massacre, watching this film will fill you with a severe case of déjà vu. The film's villain, a man called "Jonas", is a direct reference to Brian Jones - the founder of Jonestown in Guyana. The cult-like activity and suicidal tendencies are paralleled within the film significantly. Such details as mention of "outsiders", the drinking of drug-laced water, and overall stigma pervaded by Jonas is strikingly similar. And, without giving too much away, things end remarkably similarly to the real events at Jonestown.Eaten Alive has it's problems, but it is by no means worth ignoring for fans of gore or cannibal films.

This is a pretty decent attempt to mix horror with adventure. The story itself is quite solid and interesting but the way it is told at times really doesn't make this the best movie in its genre.The movie begins promising and it takes its time to build up things. The movie remains perfectly mysterious until it becomes clear that this is a movie about cannibalism. The gloves are off then and the story rapidly becomes sillier and sillier.The movie gets an extremely bad story-flow and some sequences just don't add up to each other. It provides the movie with some many silly laughable bad moments. Nevertheless the movie still has more than enough redeeming qualities to consider this a decent one.The cannibalism sequences are pretty brutal and graphic to watch, though they same very random and perhaps also a bit too forced in the movie but its definitely enough and good enough all the please the fans. There also are many gruesome scene's involving animals eating each other or getting cut open by the locals. Also many of the other Italian genre elements are present, including next to its graphic sequences, lots of nudity and sexThe acting isn't much good and the dubbing is even worse. Robert Kerman thinks that he is the new Indiana Jones. Also the characters must have looked interesting on paper but don't ever fully work out in the movie, including its main villain played by Ivan Rassimov, that really showed some potential.The settings are quite nice and they know to create a good atmosphere for the movie. Surprising to see that this movie was filmed at places all over the world (Niagra Falls, New York City, Sri Lanka). Surprising because normally Italian horror movies aren't known for having an high budget. The music on the other hand is horrible, which we are accustomed to from the genre.Watchable enough but obviously for genre-fans only.6/10http://bobafett1138.blogspot.com/
