Darker, danker and even more disturbed than THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, EATEN ALIVE is director Tobe Hooper’s follow-up to his iconic classic. Neville Brand is unforgettable as the gibbering yokel manning a decrepit swampside motel (which is beautifully rendered on a dusty soundstage). As Robert “Freddy Krueger” Englund, William Finley (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE), and Marilyn Burns (returning from THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE) make their way to this diseased charnel house, Brand makes quick use of his trusty scythe in order to feed his famished pet crocodile. EATEN ALIVE blends the aggressive, hallucinatory drive of CHAIN SAW with the out-of-control theatrics of an off-off-Broadway tribulation.
  • Cast: Neville Brand, Mel Ferrer, Carolyn Jones, and Marilyn Burns

“A film like this endures as entertainment because all the performances are pitched at that joyous trajectory of cartoonish excess.” – David Keyes, Cinemaphile.org

“Hooper’s film, despite its apparent focus on zoology, is really an experiment in baroque Texpressionism, dominated by concerns of an anthropological, ethnographic nature.” – Anton Bitel, FilmLand Empire

“A bizarre and largely flawed little beast, but I was pleased with the injected anarchy and direction from Hooper.” – Felix Vasquez Jr., Cinema Crazed
