This movie is a classic. Umberto Lenzi has made numerous movies about all kinds of things but the only good ones are Cannibal Ferox, Nightmare City(well maybe that one isn't a classic, but it is a cheese classic) and Eaten Alive. This one stars former porn actor Robert Kerman,Janet Agren,the beautiful Me Me Lai, Ivan Rassimov, and Mel Ferrer. Agren's character goes to some south east Pacific island to try to find her sister who ran off with a cult to the island. There she hooks up with Kerman's character and they head off into cannibal territory searching for her sister. When they find her she is brainwashed and all messed up in the head by Rassimov's character who is an entertaining Jim Jones type cult leader. They are caught up in a web of craziness as the fight for there lives against the cannibals and the cult. Rape, nudity, sex, and loads of grue: beheadings, entrail removal,cannibalistic mastectomy with a knife, dong chopping, animal violence, a guy gets his ear cut off and eaten in brutal detail and so on. Fans of gore, cannibals, or Italian exploitation should view this classic cannibal movie. In my view it comes in after Cannibal Holocaust, Cannibal Ferox and Jungle Holocust in that order.
