If you're still having problems, try using 'Incognito mode' in your browser. On iPhones, especially older ones, use Chrome instead of Safari. Might help.
IMPORTANT: Please make sure that the newly opened tab is not an ad popup asking you to download some software or whatever. Close any such popups and don't download any software - those are ads. Nothing is needed to be done by you other than to complete the security check which is often automated.
This last option has the minor disadvantage that English-language movies with optional subtitles in the movie player will not include these subs.

Plot – Spoilers:
Sheila, a Swedish blonde speaking Italian and from Alabama is summoned by a bunch of Italian-speaking NY cops to help them understand what became of her sister Diana who went missing six months back. An Asian-looking man was seen murdering a few men in NY and the cops feel Diana is linked. She was last known to have been part of a ‘back to nature’ cult led by a junkie-turned-godman, Jonas (roughly based on Jim Jones).
Not much is known of Sheila herself, except that her father owned a cotton mill and that she was depressed until recently. She’s full of vigour now however, and sets out boldly into New Guinea where her initial investigation suggests Diana might be. Along the way she hires a Vietnam veteran whose Rambo skills will be useful in combating the cannibals that infest the jungles there.
Eaten Alive has some glaring plot holes, but this isn’t a movie you watch for the story. The cannibal stuff is decent as can be expected from Lenzi, the man who kickstarted the genre. The cult angle which dominates, also gives the the cannibal excesses some respite.
Like with all the other Umberto Lenzi films I’ve seen, the acting is a little stiff at times but the stories and production are good. “Cannibal Ferox” (1981) is my favorite Umberto Lenzi film out of the 3 on EUM and “Eaten Alive!” (1980) is a close 2nd. I love the musical soundtrack with the 80’s disco music and the jungle/bongo music. Lenzi knows the importance of having a hateable bad guy and Jonas fits the bill. 4 stars.
Near the beginning of this film Sheila is walking through NYC and passes a movie theater with the film “Baby Snakes” (1979) on the marquee. “Baby Snakes” is a concert film by Frank Zappa with some added stop motion animation and some other weird shit. A weirder Frank Zappa film (that would fit nicely on EUM) is “200 Motels” (1971) which features actor Theodore Bikel, The Beatle’s drummer Ringo Starr and The Who’s drummer Keith Moon. It’s not the greatest film but it is weird as fuck.
Too little nudity… Nearly none. No interest then.
lol wtf is up with Mark just randomly beating the shit ouf sheila for no reason
i enjoyed it,8/10 tho hate the animal scenes,they looked real because they were real….but i concede thats how nature is and including those cut away scenes helped emerse the viewr into what surroundings the people were navigating tc.oldy but still a fun watch the whole movie.
I only knew of the Eaten Alive movie about the psychopath feeding his victims to a crocodile. Supposedly based on the true story behind Joe Ball. “Alligator Man”. For those who didn’t know about it and would want to check that one out also.
What a hideous combination of white chicks with big boots, savages, some fake rape, terrible fights and other loads of rubbish. However it was enjoyable.
Definitely a comedy. I really enjoyed the animal scenes (they looked real, like actually) and the forced sex, which there was a lot.
Bruh, when they get shot at, acting 101.
