Eaten Alive! (1980)
8/10
Underrated cannibal classic
29 February 2008
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.
