Quite the jewel. Awash in primary color artificiality and sweat and smoke, this is some set-bound hothouse play, like Tennessee Williams reimagined as a grindhouse bloodbath, that roiling whirlpool of all-consuming self-loathing literalized as a man-eating crocodile in the front yard that keeps anyone from getting out alive. Awesome.
I was in the mood for something sleazy and hadn’t seen this in forever so I decided to give it a revisit and it still holds up very well for me.Tobe Hooper’s 2nd film is just as scuzzy and dark as The Texas Chainsaw Massacre although it’s not nearly as well known. Sure, it doesn’t pack the punch of that movie, but it still has a lot going for it: great sets and Argento-esque lighting, fun performances, plenty of tense moments, wonderfully creepy atmosphere, and a killer crocodile. Plus, it’s just sleaze-a-riffic with bayou brothels, swampside motels, and Robert Englund as a horny redneck asshole so really there’s nothing not to love here.
🐊 “Names Buck and I’m rarin’ to fuck” are the first lines muttered by a foul-mouthed baby faced Robert Englund! Yes yes yes! Shudder added this to their March line-up and I couldn’t pass up on another viewing of this swampy madness!Judd, the lonely lunatic redneck who owns Starlight Hotel in rural Texas massacres various people that step foot inside his property, feeds their bodies to his large pet gator that he keeps in the swamp beside his hotel! The lighting in this Hooper jam is full of psychedelic colors— it really feels like you’re watching an Argento nightmare, but instead of witches it’s just Judd and his man-eating crocodile friend!Eaten Alive is Tobe Hooper’s second horror offering, made right after The Texas Chain Saw Massacre so you know you’re getting into something atmospheric as hell and full of that southern gothic charm and yes, I am unapologetically fucking obsessed with this thing! Everyone is either pouring sweat or acting completely bonkers, Neville Brand gives one damn unsettling performance that I hold so dear to my heart, and Marilyn Burns is screaming her head off, yet again. I’m such a sucker for a single location motel setting, with random mannequins and one menacing lead performance so Eaten Alive gets everything right in my book. That cover art is also one of the best, ever. 🐊
