Eaten Alive aka Mangiati vivi
An entertaining rag-bag of cannibalism, "Jim Jones-ploitation" and action film. Briefly, Southern belle Sheila is searching for her lost long sister who disappeared in the jungle and resurfaced in a mondo 8mm film found on the body of an assassin. Hiring desperado Mark they head out to New Guinea only to meet cannibals and a demented cult run by Jonas (the films Jim Jones character), a cocktail of kool aid and cannibalism follows, "special guest star" Mel Ferrer phones in his cameo from NYC. Two interesting points shine in Eaten Alive, the titles set against 42nd Street grindhouses and wedded to a disco-era rendition of the theme from Cannibal Ferox, and the presence of East Coast XXX actor Robert Kerman, who as R. Bolla was eaten alive in a more normal fashion in movies that played the aforementioned forty deuce. Kerman/Bolla puts in a fine performance as a grisly but likeable seen it all type. How New Yorker Kerman came to appear in nearly all Italian cannibal films must be a story in itself. When it opened in the UK, Eaten Alive had one of the most strongest posters ever seen from Wardour Street, a blood splattered depiction of Me Me Lai's demise, it left people shell shocked and was remembered years after. Then and now however Eaten Alive has been much butchered by the censors, at last count by 5 minutes 42 seconds. Gone are blood caked cannibalism, national geographic animal butchery and some kinky stuff at Jonas place, alas Me Me's demise has also bit the dust. Something you'll never realise then is that Umberto Lenzi perhaps sensing the genre had run its course, recycles moments from his own Deep River Savages, and competitor Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal, making Eaten Alive a greatest hits package "Now that what I call Anthropophagous" if you will. British DVD's live in fear of censorship cuts that instantly curtail their value, but they are also damned by a lack of extras-(audio commentaries, trailers etc). In this respect Eaten Alive suffers both externally and internally, a number of stills are short change indeed. Even seen cut Eaten Alive is a fine exploitation thriller, but there is a sense of compromise, the question is how much is the worth of a film called Eaten Alive that no longer contains anyone being Eaten Alive?

Late 70's exploitation. Nasty stuff... no need to say more. I myself didn't like those real animal butchery scenes at all... but worth the download cause this one is pretty rare, I believe. [ Add all 2 links to your ed2k client ]

I thought I had seen it released before but I wasn't quite sure where..and not even sure I grabbed it or not(Damn I need to sort through these things!)Thanks for that george...wanting to grab stuff that hasn't been put out yet or is in need of a better file.I know I would rather have an avi of Eaten alive than a svcd rip.They got this edition Which is the shreik show.Media Blasters version:
Dvd Compare has the specs for this version
Quote: | R1 America - (Shriek Show/Media Blasters) Extras:Cast and crew interviews Photo and art gallery Theatrical trailerPicture format:1.66:1 Anamorphic NTSC Soundtrack(s):English Dolby Digital 2.0 formatCase type:Amaray Case |
And this one released by EC HorrorDvds had this to say on the one by ECQuote: | Letterboxed at what looks like 1.66:1 (no ratio is specified on the package), and lacking 16x9 enhancement, the image is mediocre at best. The back cover says the film was "Digitally Remastered from the Original 16mm Negatives in 1995". Translation: EC ported over their old laserdisc transfer onto DVD. The image has quite a few problems - grain, scratches and blemishes aplenty, colors that seem oversaturated at times, undersaturated at others. Normally I would be more generous in my rating for the video quality, since this was a very cheap shot-on-16mm production, but the fact that EC Entertainment ported over an old transfer, like they have with a number of other releases, is simply too frustrating to let alone. It?s getting a C-. |
Quote: | Technical Info.
DVD
EC Entertainment DVD Released 1999 MSRP $34.00 Running Time - 1 hour 22 minutes Color Region 0, NTSC Not Rated Widescreen 1.66:1 | 16x9: No 1 Disc, Single Layered (DVD5) 14 Chapter Stops Dolby Digital Mono 2.0
|
So which one you think?I am heading down there again today and was going to pick it up.
