eaten alive

[cenobite1282]

i just read the sites review of tobe's crocodile (i havent seen it). anyone else here seen eaten alive, his follow-up to TCM?

[Lord Crumb]

Yes, I have, and it's incredibly boring. I made it about half way through before adding it to my "to-sell-on-ebay" pile.
Opinions may differ, though.

well, yeah, it starts a little slow(the second half picks up a lot) but i still enjoyed it a lot.... the whole redneck villain thing really does something for me when its well-done, as in this and TCM

I was really disappointed by this film - It was banned for years in the UK and was finally released uncut under the name of 'Death Trap' - I think Clap Trap would have been a more appropriate title.

The only two saving graces is the woody-allen lookalike who acts like a complete idiot, doing the weird hand gestures at his wife (made me laugh like hell) and the Scythe victim.

What? Y'mean no one else was curled up by Robert Englunds attempts at dirty talk to the Hooker?

To many he may be Freddy, but whenever the makeups off, hes always Willie from V to me!!!

I've always been interested in this film...Is Marylin Burns in it?

Yeah she is, but her lovely qualities still don't save this turkey.

Hmm.....I think I'll stay away from this one then, until I get to see it for free.....:D

In my eyes, "Eaten Alive" is highly underrated. Is has that same raw, gritty look as "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" and is probably even more bizarre - thanks to Neville Brand's over-the-top acting and the odd color schemes and sets (which is actually a huge soundstage...) The entire film feels like a continuation of Hooper's landmark terror classic, only shifting location to the swampy marshes of Florida. It's definitely creepy and the adrenaline-pumped ending where everyone is running around, screaming in hysterics was pure excellence.
