Eaten Alive: 2-Disc Special Edition (Restored and Remastered)

Description

Restored and Remastered

The Starlight, a decrepit hotel run by Judd (Neville Brand), receives few customers. Perhaps it's the remote location in the Texas bayous. Perhaps it's the owner's violent mood swings. Or perhaps it's the man-eating crocodile in the backyard. But one dark steamy night finds the Starlight visited by a runaway prostitute (Roberta Collins, Death Race 2000), a young couple (Marilyn Burns and William Finley) and their child (Kyle Richards, Halloween), a dying father and his daughter (Mel Ferrer and Crystin Sinclaire), and sex-obsessed Buck (Robert Englund, A Nightmare on Elm Street), all of whom will experience an unforgettable night of terror at the hands of Judd and his pet croc.

A raw, violent, and bizarre portrayal of madness run amok in rural America, Eaten Alive was director Tobe Hooper's follow-up to the international hit, The Texas Chain Saw Massacre. Dark Sky Films proudly presents this two-disc special edition which features a brand new transfer from long-lost vault materials and never-before-seen bonus features.

Bonus Features Include:
Feature-length audio commentary w/ producer Mardi Rustam, actors Roberta Collins, William Finley and Kyle Richards, & make-up artist Craig Reardon
"The Gator Creator: Tobe Hooper"

a cannibal mix-tape of sorts.......2007-04-23

this film is obviously for cannibal sub-genre completists. but if you're closely acquainted with the other notable cannibal films you will quickly notice one thing: umberto lenzi unabashedly stole whole chunks from other films to put into eaten alive. how copyright laws in italy work is beyond me! it is entertaining for what it is, and anything with kerman or rassimov in it is going to be at least fun for an hour or two. but i cant deny stealing jungle holocaust's scene of me me lai being cut open, gutted, and then having hot rocks thrown into her chest cavity to cook the meat, cause really every movie should put that scene in at some point. just think of the possibilities!

Not a bad movie.......2007-04-05

This movie i liked, not really good, has that "Grind house" feeling in the movie. I remember this movie as "Emerald Jungle" though many, many moons ago, but, either way all the same. I also felt, that maybe some scenes were deleted maybe? in the film, but, i could be wrong...its been awhile since i saw the film till now. Anyways, the only bad thing about the film was again the animal killings and that "let the camera linger on it for awhile" type attitude towards it, didnt think that was cool..whats up with cannibal movies and animal killings?...i dont get it?...anyways, not a really bad film, but, i would suggest that you rent it first then buy.

cannibal mismash .......2007-01-03

umberto lenzis eaten alive is in my opinion way better than cannibal ferox. the film is so cheesy that its hillarious. the charectors, especially the main male charector, are funny to watch. the mane male charector slaps the female role every 5 minutes so she calms down or so she dosnt give up their hiding place. the worst thing about the film is that there are about 4 or 5 scenes from different cannibal movies including lenzis man from deep river. there are also scenes from lungle holocaust and mountain of the cannibal god, and i dont mean minor scenes, i mean big scenes, mostly gore scenes. the scenes actually shot for the film have some gory moments including a decapitation, an ear being cut off and a cannibalization scene were a breast is cut off. throw in some brutal rape scenes and a topless me me lai and you have yourself a pretty decent exploitation flick.

Eaten Alive- One the best cannibal movies ever made........2006-09-09

Directed by Umberto Lenzi (Man from Deep River). Brings you the second cannibal movie in the trilogy. First it was Man from Deep River, then is was Eaten Alive, and finally it was Cannibal Ferox (Band in 31 countries). I think this is the best cannibal movie in the trilogy. The gore effects are great and very realistic. There is also animal cruelty that spices the movie up as well as Janet Agren as Sheila Morris is impaled in the lower part of her body (were baby are made) by a wooden dildo.
This is a great movie, a must have for any cannibal collection. A word of advice do not buy the Shriek Show addition is cut. Buy the EC Entertainment version off abay.com for around the same price, that includes a way better cover.

Another Italian Cannibal/Zombie movie........2006-07-24

Here's another Italian cannibal movie and I continue to find there isn't much exciting about this genre. Again, we have mostly controversy over killing animals which I really don't find either disturbing or entertaining at all.

I am also a little bored at seeing Kerman in another movie.

There really was one scene where they could have taken the movie 'too far' but they held back.

I was hoping they would take things too far.

Ignore the people who knock this CLASSICK!.......2006-11-06

No this isn't near as good as The Chainsaw Massacre and nothing Tobe Hooper has done has been, BUT just see this to see NEVILLE BRAND! The man was an underrated actor who plays his underplayed role just right!
This IS a lost classic that deserves to be watched and appreciated for the low budget obviously stretched and all the great "B" actors contained within. IGNORE the idiots who whine about this and that and pop up the popcorn and enjoy a drive-in secind run feature that is more enjoyable now than ever! Can't wait to see the new materials used!!!!

Trying To Choke Down Eaten Alive.......2006-06-07

Initially the movie seemed to have some of Chainsaw Massacre's nonlinear slant and manic energy, but the lack of focus ultimately destroyed everything. The movie's random maniacal edge seemed overly contrived---perpetrated in the absence of any recognizable storyline. And hell, the crocodile just didn't get enough screen-time. Let's face it. The best actor in the entire movie was reprehensibly underplayed.

This whole swamp-laden mess roughly revolves around the picturesque Starlight Hotel, conspicuously built to overlook a croc-supporting deluge. At one point, an estranged family shows up and pays for a room. What follows next is a pointless psychotic diatribe between husband and wife. The wife, by the way, is Sally from Chainsaw Massacre. The husband ends up dead, the little girl ends up running and hiding, and Sally ends up tied to a bed in her underwear---which may have been provocative in some tawdry way were it not for the eyeliner and snot running down her flushed heaving face the entire time.

There's just no central drive or consistent storyline, and too many non-essential characters. At one point you do see a belligerent pre-Freddy-Freddy as he is gobbled wholesale by the expeditious crocodile. Pre-Freddy-Freddy's girlfriend looked to me like the same girl who played the recalcitrant member of the cannibal tribe from The Hills Have Eyes, but don't quote me on that, because I was quite drunk at the time.

Ultimately, the hotel's owner, Judd, deviant/killer/crockmaster/entrepreneur, ends up doing the headlong dash into the croc's gullet, and the mourners in Judd's tumultuous wake are very few and far between. As a villain, Judd translates to a queasy and unsatisfying hybrid between and estranged member of the Leatherface clan and one of the Blacks Widows from Every Which Way But Loose.

I don't know. This movie isn't like trying to sit through Hatred of a Minute or Las Vegas Blood Bath or Michael Bolton concert footage, but it's definitely not one of Tobe Hooper's crowning achievements. Still, you know, give the guy a break.

Boring and Stupid.......2006-05-02

OK. This is the Tobe Hooper movie following "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre". The script was co-written by TCM writer Kim Henkel. The movie features a good cover and a good synopsis on the back. So, where does this film go wrong? Where doesn't it? I want to start off that it's obvious that Quentin Tarantino has seen this movie because the opening scene's dialouge was used in "Kill Bill Vo.1". My name is Buck and I'm here to f**k. In the beginning we're introduced to a hooker who refuses to have sex with Buck (a very young pre-Freddy Krueger, Robert Englund) and is kicked out of the whorehouse in which she resides. She ends up at the Starlight Motel, a dark motel hidden in the depths of the Bayou. In a horror movie made in today's times, this would be the part where you would turn the film off. Anyone who has seen a horror mvoie should know that this is not the kind of motel you walk into. The Starlight is kept by Judd (a very creepy Neville Brand) who acts sane and then suddenly the exact opposite and ends up killing the hooker. Oddly enough, living right next to the motel is Judd's alligator, hence the title "Eaten Alive". The movie continues with a few other people who pass through, including a family of 3. The father is killed, the mother is tied to the bed, and the young daughter hides from Judd beneath the house. Then the family of the hooker show. Oh and Buck shows up and Judd shows an odd distaste in him immediately. This movie should've been good and it definitley had the makings for a good horror movies. The 70's was arguably the decade for horror films. Looking at horror movies nowadays there is clear inspiration from 70's horror movies. This movie has a grainy look to it, there's blood galore, and it's pretty disturbing. Brand is one of the best horror film heavies ever, but he's not anywhere near as creepy as the infamous Leatherface. "Eaten Alive" was inspired and a lot of hardcore horror fans will enjoy it. I love horror films and the more graphic they are, the better. This movie just lagged though. In between the scenes when Judd was killing people, it was just really boring. It was cool seeing Robert Englund, who as a kid looked nothing like Freddy Krueger. And the film also stars Marilyn Burns, the actress who escaped in TCM and made a cameo appearance as the Anonymous Woman at the end of "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation". I'd recommend another horror film, but if it sounds good to you. Go for it.

3 1/2 stars - Especially for fans of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre!.......2006-03-13

This DVD has two full length horror films on one side. The quality is not the best, but it is definitely watchable with no major audio or video problems. There is no scene access on the dvd.

Eaten Alive is a fun and twisted low-budget horror that fans of the original Texas Chainsaw Massacre will enjoy. Three of the original cast and crew take part in this movie, and as you watch, you will often be reminded of TCM. The soundtrack to this film is very similar to TCM, but still original.

There is a fair amount of unnecessary dialogue and adding crocidiles to this storyline seems a bit gimmicky, besides, they look really fake. Expect a small amount of really well done gore effects.

Overall Eaten Alive is a better than average horror flick that verges on being really creepy! 3 1/2 STARS

Description

Deep in the Texas bayous, amidst the dankest of whorehouses and bars, resides the decrepit Starlight Hotel. Owned and operated by intensely lonely Judd (Neville Brand), the Starlight receives few patrons. Perhaps it's the remote backwoods location. Perhaps it's Judd's violent mood swings. Or perhaps it's the giant flesh-hungry crocodile in the backyard. But one dark steamy night finds the Starlight visited by a runaway prostitute (Roberta Collins), a very strange young couple (Marilyn Burns and William Finley) and their ward (Kyle Richards), a dying father and his daughter (Mel Ferrer and Crystin Sinclaire), and a sex-starved local named Buck (Robert Englund) who really likes to… Directed by Tobe Hooper (The Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Poltergeist), Eaten Alive is a raw, sweaty, and bizarre portrayal of madness run amok in rural America.
