Review of Eaten Alive

Eaten Alive (1976)
7/10
Extremely Bizarre Horror works thanks to Hooper's visual style and Neville Brand's strange performance.
30 August 2005
A Psychopath (Neville Brand), who has a crocodile living in the front yard of his motel. This Psychopath is been feeding his pet crocodile to the periodically guest, who upset this Psychopath. Especially when they are upset of the management of his bayou hotel.

Directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 1 & 2, Poltergeist, Salem's Lot) made a truly garishly stylized, unrelentingly bizarre film. Brand's interesting performance keeps this extremely flawed film worth watching. Also the film has a good cast like:Mel Ferrer, Carolyn Jones, Marilyn Burns, William Finley, Staurt Whitman, Janus Blythe, Kyle Richards and a young Robert Englund. Which Englund has the film's best line in the opening scene. It is worth a look, if you are a fan of Hooper's work or the love of strange cinema. (***/*****).
