Thank God he has not tried it to copy the history of Deodato desert masterpiece, but its own, to be quite bizarre but equally uninteresting paths. At the beginning we see how a people are citizens of Asian descent his talents in the "blow into the tube" shows so much at Niagara Falls and twice in New York to kill people with arrows, the tips were dipped in cobra venom. In connection with these murders is now a good six months since vanished from the earth Diana Morris, her sister Sheila from dusty Alabama in the Big Apple has gone to have to inform about this fact by a police commissioner. According to Diana's neighbor, this one will runs in circles around a strange Jonas, who is the head of an obscure sect, which is renounced all constraints of civilization. In the case of Asians, which was after his third attempt to escape quickly acquaintance ended with a truck, the cops also a Super 8 film of the so-gray-celled rituals, which incidentally also attended Sheila's sister, shows that even the Sheila engaged the professor might not be familiar. Potzblitz. Because you needed another expert, and the most best site. After all, it was the gray-haired and a serious demeanor, Mr. still trying to help make the approximate location of seeking out this Jonas. The whole
sauce takes only then anywhere in the deepest New Guinea, there is the sect suspected by the preacher, to really gaining momentum. Sheila has secured the services of Mark, a few years ago from the Vietnam war deserter Americans, which it is to safely escort through the jungle. The Lord with a penchant for whiskey, which could only be persuaded with a larger sum of money to beat with the blonde lady in the wild and almost unexplored undergrowth, is then soon the knight in shining armor, when in village matters and there encounters a dodgy old man. After a brief dispute help from the duo with food, a canoe and two leaders, who will almost guarantee a smooth journey through the wilderness. As a connoisseur of the subgenre is known, however, that such things never really goes smoothly from Amsterdam. Only one makes the acquaintance of an alligator capsizes, and take in the jungle and soon first on the man-eaters. In the run from this one meets but also fans of Jonas. This guide Mark and Sheila in her village, where you meet not only the wrong, equipped with dictatorial trains preachers, but also to Diana. But here too, conflicts are inevitable. With Jonas do not eat cherries, he leads his cult with an iron hand, Sheila tried to get into his style while actually to Mark Diana together to escape from the clutches of this religious community zugenebelten completely. One can imagine that going on in the green hell or tidy the Lutzi.
Indeed Lenzi makes his work so no prisoners and expressed properly on the tube. Lengths are in eaten alive not identify, but this Chose is implemented quite straight. Even the epilogue to the three murders of Asians may already provide so many amusement in the audience, so beautiful you have never cast any abnippeln . See Great sport, even bigger Over Acting. Although the three taken from the arrow mimes are not really familiar faces, so Mr. Lenzi has yet to gather some well-known name in front of the camera. A small coup here is the collaboration of Robert Kerman . Who participated in the same year in the already mentioned Cannibal Holocaust . His female partner is also quite familiar genre Actress Janet Agren , whose most famous film is probably still go the Fulci zombie splatter A at the bell rope (1980) might be. With two other performers Lenzi can beat even a bridge to his Mondo Cannibale , because they were already there with the game: on one hand the charismatic Ivan Rassimov , on the other hand, the Myanmar Actress Me Me Lai that seemed to have casters in the eating films made in Italy since the cannibal debut a small subscription. And how they try, all ... A splendor that is! Blondie Janet may result of their so brave and civilized role in the occurrence of most of the time suffer from the pitfalls of the tough life in the jungle so beautiful. Since eyes are wide open, screaming, and put his legs in his hand. During the stay in the sect, they may also like to give a little stoned, as the good Jonas tried to make them pliable. Here, Lenzi thinks for women and their Agren figure checks from Sheila jungle, the RTL would come to their C-celebrity event show ever.
What Agren woman lives out a little too much now laminated, Robert Kerman well. He is a thoroughly cool hero, a rough guy with a hard shell. In such a relentless, brutal piece of film is there only logical to suggest the possibly existing soft core of this figure does not arise. This Mark is more masculine than any other known at that time so pithy film heroes, and there was Chuck Norris also still a little light. The guy does indeed almost only in testosterone pickled meat, laced with extra spermatic cord to pass. He drinks, He is beginning participants in arm wrestling competitions, an ex-soldier, convinced utterly of himself, exudes experience, know in any situation one way, that is a very smart guy and should - as it should be otherwise - of course with Sheila mouse! The masculinity of the figure in the German version also underlined by the fact that it is spoken by Klaus Kindler , the German voice of Clint "Dirty Harry" Eastwood. Casual and relaxed, is located Kerman and runs now through the scenery, it could literally raining ice cubes in his Parts of the telly. Seems to be it the blueprint for the modern type of "cool ace" be? Well, before him there were also performers like Steve McQueen or James Dean, so you may also entitle Sun Only Lenzi essence of the character in his book already almost the status of the ultimate cool pig. A completely coated in a character - as it should be otherwise - coated film.
can shine somewhat more Rassimov Ivan. The unfortunately faded Mime is anyway a true asset to any movie, and it is here a Jonas, who - despite all the alleged piety - truly diabolical to come off. But only have this cunning glance he touches, can convey the madness of this figure beautifully. Small drawback is that Rassimov already almost too much time in the movie gets. A Shame is that, where the Croatian-born actor of his best and can therefore show worst side. If he goes with it, one might even bow down before you ever almost in his direction as well as he does his thing. This whole story of Jonah and the cult is alive Lenzi his also eaten very fresh, original touch that lifts the film like Cannibal Holocaust of the other works from this drawer. He does not approach the way in near Deodato about work, but it's just a certain amount of difference that gets him to shame. Finally, Lenzi can also exercise class, as is the case when you social criticism in incorporates his films. Religious fanaticism, blind obedience of the mass manipulation and abuse of power. Hot iron, complex issues. Herrlich thrown into a Exploitationsuppe and yet so sloppily handled, so that it almost fun again. Where is a little too hard with the matter goes to court. The approaches are there, feel and understand, but in the depth that can not go easy. But the book but his attention is much more to a non-stop action show, and also get offered.
Always something happening and when you make something almost as idle comes up then picks Lenzi, unfortunately like so many other colleagues, the unfortunate subject of animal snuff. Real killings of defenseless Creatures on camera, a self still in the scene very polarizing subject, as the cannibal film by many shunned even so, even boycotted. Surely this is not worthy of support and disdain worthy, but these films were made at a time where you still knew nothing of something like "Red List", animal welfare was in its infancy and one with much more relaxed and informal bypassed. There are relics from a bygone era and should be borne in mind that such things no longer possible. At least it does here is not quite as often due to the fact, unlike in Lenzis one years later founded Revenge of the cannibals . Keep to - as far as one can say with such a sensitive issue - as far as possible back and it mounted even a scene from Sergio Martino's The White Goddess of the Cannibals in the film. Prissy is not one anyway. In the worst way cannibals may indulge their work and thus satisfy their hunger. It falls on the most victims are women and they deal with this particularly cruel. One meal is because even the breast cut off and then nibble. Feminists had in the movie anyway, no joy. People with a penchant for logical and carefully constructed story not incidentally.
straight but this constructed nature and the resulting, shameless montage of various set pieces makes the original Mangiati vivi! great movie titled so heart-refreshing. You can call it raw and uncut. A boorish banned piece of celluloid madness, which wades knee-deep in the exploitation, it never makes a secret as the wild and are also incredibly primitive. But the lower instincts may here and there are times and met by the small hint of an attempt by social criticism and claim something in something hineinzubekommen that creates eaten alive really quite good. Action, horror, adventure - as many genre come here to train, probably because Lenzi was perhaps here and there dizzy when writing the script. Part of the film is a bit bumpy, especially with some transitions in the story. It is acceptable. But it revels here in many exaggerations and attempts the entire division of the cannibal film to float on the top. Thanks Cannibal Holocaust Although this is not entirely successful, but some work really well. Trashy unbelievable things make eaten alive really big sport that needs to be viewed. Where else can you ever seen such a cinematic battle plate trying to criticize fanaticism in the religious sphere and in some sects even then active koketieren to? Lenzi was - especially in its Poliziotteschi-phase, much better films turn - but even his Kannnibalenepen may hold in some ways better than me. can eaten alive this well.
