Eaten Alive

Director:

Italy| 1980. 87 mins.


The second of Italian exploitation director Umberto Lenzi’s trio of cannibal movies, the cheaply made Eaten Alive features Janet Agren as a wealthy woman who travels to the jungles of New Guinea in search of her missing sister. There she discovers a Jim Jones-like sect as well as a tribe of cannibals who prey on those unfortunate enough to stray too far into the jungle. Eaten Alive is typical of the Euro-shock cannibal flicks of the 1970s and ’80s and includes scenes of animal cruelty.
