Eaten Alive (also known as Doomed to Die and The Emerald Jungle) will satisfy your hunger for human flesh on 4K Ultra HD + Blu-ray on June 24 via Severin Films.

Not to be confused with Tobe Hooper’s 1976 horror film of the same name, this is the 1980 Italian cannibal gorefest from writer-director Umberto Lenzi (Cannibal Ferox).

It has been newly scanned in 4K from the color reversal intermediate. It’s presented in Hdr with English and Italian mono audio options.

Gloria doesn't believe cannibalism exists, but that notion is ripped to shreds when she and her companions are targeted as meals for a rain forest tribe that's been pushed over the edge. Serving as an inspiration for Eli Roth's The Green Inferno and still leaving viewers feeling queasy nearly 34 years after its initial release, Umberto Lenzi's 1981 Italian exploitation horror film, Cannibal Ferox, was once banned in 31 countries but has received more love over the years as more and more people have discovered its palpable practical effects and uncompromising storytelling.

Having released Ruggero Deodato's Cannibal Holocaust on Blu-ray this past summer, the folks at Grindhouse Releasing are bringing Cannibal Ferox to Blu-ray with a new 2k transfer and a slew of special features, including never-before-seen deleted scenes, an abundance of cast and crew interviews, audio commentary by director Umberto Lenzi and star John Morghen, a new feature-length documentary on Italian cannibal cinema,...

In my slightly sordid past, I have been dared to do a number of things including drink a pint of scotch in just an hour, dance on stage with a male stripper named Turbo, and also watch Cannibal Holocaust and Cannibal Ferox back-to-back before I knew anything about them. Out of all of these tasks, the cannibal films were the hardest to get through and resulted in more nausea than the scotch. In short, I have a thing about animals. I can watch the most extreme horror films where people are the victims. But show me a slightly sad puppy or a mildly inconvenienced raccoon, and I’m disturbed for the remainder of the day. Why? Animals aren’t acting, and in the case of these classic cannibal films, the animal deaths are all real. That said, I have an odd appreciation for these films simply for attempting to push the envelope of decency.
