Fantastic jungle adventure, 31 October 1999
Author: thecaptain_uk from London

Eaten Alive 1980 Hilarious Lenzi cannibal flick about a young woman (Janet Agren) going to New Guinea to find her sister aided by cannibal veteran Robert Kerman. Deep in the jungle they stumble across a purification sect and a religious nut very reminiscent of Jim Jones and the whole Guyana mass-suicide incident. Chock full of gore and nudity, stuttering actors and god-awful dubbing this is perhaps the most watchable of all the cannibal sub-genre.
