On January 30th, Severin Films is taking a meaty bite out of the sinewy flesh of Italian exploitation history with a blood-soaked release of Umberto Lenzi’s EATEN ALIVE! One of the maestro’s most beloved throat-rippers has never looked better, and gluttonous gorehounds will be gifted with a generous grab-bag of gruesome goodness in the Special Features department.
Eight years after he first unleashed the Italian cannibal craze, spaghetti splatter master Umberto Lenzi (NIGHTMARE CITY, CANNIBAL FEROX) returned to the jungle for this “graphic” (Monster Hunter), “sordid” (Geek Legacy), and “extreme” (Horror News) gut-muncher that still packs the power to rip your d*ck off. EuroSleaze hall-of-famers Robert Kerman (CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST),Janet Agren (CITY OF THE LIVING DEAD), Ivan Rassimov (THE MAN FROM DEEP RIVER), and Me Me Lai (JUNGLE HOLOCAUST) – along with Hollywood legend Mel Ferrer (WAR AND PEACE) – star in this insane assemblage of flesh-ripping mayhem, depraved sexual brutality, and even the Jonestown massacre. EATEN ALIVE! is now presented uncut, uncensored and fully remastered in HD for the first time ever, with all-new Special Features that slit open the legacy of this definitive cannibal classic.
In addition to the standard release, there will be a limited edition of 2,500 units with an exclusive slip cover and CD soundtrack. Also available exclusively from the Severin webstore – A gut-splattered EATEN ALIVE! t-shirt and a new entry in the Severin Hall of Fame enamel pin series spotlighting Umberto Lenzi.

- Welcome To The Jungle: Interview With Director Umberto Lenzi
