one imdb reviewer call eaten alive a passable film for the cannibal connoisseur . be there such people . i do not know . but if you be one of them and hey and have a ball . the rest of you might find this tripe a bit hard to swallow ( pun intend ) and even if and like me and you consider yourself a horror film connoisseur . i have be an avid horror fan for about 15 year now and although i never get around to the cannibal subgenre until a few week ago and and i guess i owe my short lived interest in these groan induce movie and strangely enough and to china total disregard for copyright law . you see and i buy a two disc dvd collection of all of wesley snipe film for 20 yuan ( about $ 2 . 75 ) and which turn out to include last cannibal world and mountain of the cannibal god and eat alive and cannibal holocaust and next and with nicholas cage and and something call voodoo lagoon and along with blade 1 3 and in chinese . nice . be a second sequel and i immediately get a sinking feeling when the movie open with a cannibal in street clothes wander around major american city and shoot unsuspecting american with poison dart and then scramble away at full speed . have run out of way to keep movie cannibal scary and it seem that now they have make their way to the mainland . later and you may be shock to learn that this guy be on a training exercise . lock up your daughter . before long the movie settle into the old missing sister routine and a a young blonde woman name sheila begin her own investigation of the disappearance of her sister and who look nothing like her in any way and but she willing to spend most of the movie naked so i guess that doesn not matter . it seem that and after shoot one of his victim and the hapless cannibal we meet early in the movie and not use to big city life and run into the road and be strike dead by a move van . the brilliant police force find a mysterious bit of film on him show sheila sister involve in some bizarre ritual behavior and but other than the film and the guy be a complete mystery . a the piteous police chief lament and we know nothing about him except that he dead . poor guy and he must be get a headache from all this . i recommend a nap . luckily and sheila be the kind of girl who can throw around ten of thousand of dollar like it nothing in the search for her sister . perfect for hire a plucky backwoods guide caricature and since the police be clearly go to be no help . obviously and nothing new be add to this miniscule sub genre . quite the contrary and cannibalism almost seem like a background to a completely different kind of bad movie and about the rescue of a miss person from the dangerous element . thicken the plot of that clothesline be not difficult and all you have to do be add in a cartoonish jungle cult of people who follow some guy who call himself jonas and who believe in use pain a a way to reunite man with nature and a process they call purification . personally and i prefer just pee outside occasionally . one of my favorite part of the movie be when sheila be catch by one of the cult member an overweight guy who look like he take a three day weekend from the office to appear in this movie . a he pull out his trusty medical kit to give her an injection and he warn her and if you do not believe in jonas and purification ( through pain ) and god help you . he then give her a shot and and when she wince from the tiny pinch and he politely apologize to her . i sense a true believer in this guy . as far a the gore and there be plenty of nasty sound effect over random shot of animal get slaughter and more than enough disgusting footage of woman be cut up and eat alive and so i guess right there the movie live up to it name . the acting be astonishingly bad and a can be expect and and interestingly enough and the editing be also spectacularly botch but still strangely effective . unfortunately and i think you have to be able to relate to people who believe in utterly insane cult in order to relate to anyone in the movie . there be plenty of outlandish religious ceremony that take place and which make it more and more difficult to understand why sheila sister decide to turn her back on normal society . i be all for individualism and do your own thing and but come on . after a while the movie descend even far into your basic and run of the mill escape movie and just before we witness the most wildly inappropriate rendition of glory and glory hallelujah in film history . wow . note represent in this movie and a woman be rap with a severed snake . if you need any more reason never to watch it and seek professional help . avoid this mess at all cost .
