Eaten Alive Directed By Tobe Hooper is Surely One Hell Of a Cult Classic Of a 70s Low Budget Slasher Movie That What i Call Great And Fun To Watch.

Quite an eventful full moon, even for this psychotic redneck innkeeper. Despite the local sheriff's anything goes attitude in this East Texas backwater, a body count like this could not possibly have escaped scrutiny from higher level law enforcement otherwise, since he's sposed to have run his flea-bitten dump in the middle of a swamp forever.

I wish I could say anything positive about this movie but I can't. I like quirky movies about the South and turned this one on for that reason, but bad acting, cheap sets, and a weak story all add up to bad.

While not terrible, Tobe Hooper's "Eaten Alive" is greatly overshadowed by his previous effort and by the Italian cannibal flick of the same title. ("Mangiati Vivi")It's ashame because the movie isn't necessarily bad, we were just expecting a little more.

EATEN ALIVE (1976) **1/2 Neville Brand, Mel Ferrer, Carolyn Jones, Marilyn Burns, William Finley, Stuart Whitman, Roberta Collins, Kyle Richards, Robert Englund, Crystin Sinclaire, Janus Blythe. Out-there horror flick from Tobe Hooper and fellow TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE cohort Kim Henkel (who co-scripted with Alvin L.

This is my favorite Toby Hooper movie.It feels almost like a live theater experience with all the colorful stage lighting.

Made after the classic Texas Chainsaw Massacre (1974) by Tobe Hooper, a weird director. starting with a cult classic and from there on declining into mediocre to worse flicks.

Excellent cast in a grim tale with obvious similarities to The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and The Hills Have Eyes, and even Psycho.For me this was curiously free of suspense.

Every horror movie Tobe Hooper ever made has that creepy feeling, the feeling of dread and helplessness we enjoy in horror movies. His horror movies are violent and shocking, though not in a bad and forced way like "Hellraiser", but in a natural and lifelike way, which makes it all more frightening.
