Oh how the mighty have... entertained?! Damn right! One of Mr. Tobe Hooper's earlier projects of pure evil and astonishment, "Eaten Alive" is also one of his BEST! As an Egyptian god, I know a Golden Age when I see one, and this movie is no different. Kindly old Judd is the owner of the local hotel, and one day Judd takes it upon himself to become some kind of "purifying" nutcase, greeting his customers with a happy grin and his BIG FUCKING SCYTHE! Yes, Judd's just a little loopy. Why? Who cares! Insane characters written by Hooper are the best brand! Not only does this flick have scythe swinging that would make my baby brother, the Grim Reaper, happy, but it also features a young Rob Englund as Buck (he's "eager to fuck"), the lovable village sodomist! Though Englund is the only victim actually "Eaten Alive" by Judd's big crocodile, we won't hold that against Tobe. Besides, title ain't everything! Also, he did a good job o' casting Englund as the film's ass-pirate, so he's forgiven. What are you waiting for? Go get this movie! It'll appeal to all Hooper and Englund fans, as well as those of you who don't mind riding the currents of "Shit Creek" once in a while! GO NOW!
