This is a really underrated, fun n’ sleazy flick from Tobe Hooper. It’s no Texas Chainsaw, but it is still kind of essential, & this release is pretty damn perfect!

Gel happy and artificial; Tobe Hooper went the complete opposite route with his follow up to "The Texas Chain Saw Massace" with "Eaten Alive".In short; for casual fans this is a bust but for lovers of 70's horror with a healthy tolerance for weird stuff this fits the bill nicely. Shot on a soundstage and with crazy bright lights from pink to green to blue and an insanely fake looking crocodile; this is nicely atmospheric but definately not very approachable for most.What's there to say about the plot? Mostly non-existent as the seemingly unhinged Neville Brand kills people who stumble on to his little motel and feeds them to his pet croc. There's a semblance of a side story with family members coming to look for the film's first victim but the other folks (a no-good redneck and another family who stop at the motel) serve no special purpose other than eventually being killed or fight for the lives."Eaten Alive", for better or worse, is a one of kind experience. Neville Brand is impressive as the film's psycho and his rants, probably on repeat viewings, will help the viewer understand his actions a bit better. Robert Englund is always fun to watch as the no-good redneck. The atmosphere Hooper conjures up is claustrophobic and well built and the film's overall offbeat nature certainly makes it stand out and, therefore, very memorable. But I can't, in all honesty, say it's very good as there are no scares to speak of and it's relatively tension free; unlike his debut feature. But the red stuff flows freely and is handled well.The Blu-ray from Arrow presents the film in spectacular fashion. The colors shine and the visuals are the film's biggest asset. The extras are fun to go through and the booklet is highly informative and opened my eyes to many different interpretations for the flick.

Awesome 80s horror
