Review of Eaten Alive (1976) by Philémon W — 22 May 2008
This film is strange.
The colours are very prominent, like technicolor but like B-Movie technicolor, like it was shot by HG Lewis in the 60s or an early John Waters. Even the strange acting intensity is and hammy portrayals lend themselves to HG Lewis and John Waters.
The sets seemed really fake as well as the crocodile in it as well.
The story was kind of convoluted as well and didn't make much sense.
The first lines spoken in the film are from a young Robert Englund (Freddy Krueger) telling us "Name's Buck, rarin' tah fuck.".
All this said the film does retain a charm and is a unique and enjoyable little gem.
