Eaten Alive (1980) is an Italian Cannibal movie that I recently watched on Tubi. The storyline follows a young lady whose sister has gone missing. A tape is recovered in the jungle depicting the sister as part of a weird cult. Also in the video is a strange ritual where people are sacrificed and eaten. The young lady will set out for the jungle with a team to find and rescue the missing sister.
This movie is directed by Umberto Lenzi (Cannibal Ferox) and stars Robert Kerman (Cannibal Holocaust), Janet Agren (Red Sonja), Ivan Rassimov (The Humanoid) and Mel Ferrer (The World, the Flesh and the Devil).
This is a pretty fun watch and has just about everything in it. The opening Cannibal scenes in the city with blow darts with a perfect opening. I have never seen so many snake vs animal fights (mongoose, hawk, monkeys, etc). There's an infusion of animals throughout the movie. There was also way more nudity in this than I expected with numerous rape scenes. The storyline is fairly straightforward for the Cannibal genre, but there's some good twists and turns making it hard to predict who is going to die next. The gore and kill scenes are pretty good, though why are there scenes where the cannibals have a switchblade? The hanging body hook scenes were a nice touch as was the way they depicted the bite sequences.
Overall, this is a must see for cannibal genre fans. I would score this a 7/10 and strongly recommend it.
