Review of Eaten Alive (1976) by Carfax A — 09 Jul 2015

Wow, was that bad. Horrible film!! This was Tobe Hoopers next film after Texas Chainsaw Massacre and its amazing the difference in quailty, atmosphere, acting and story from the director and writer of Texas. It's really like two totally different directors did this. The studio sets have such a cheap feel to them that you know your watching a hotel built inside a studio. Like watching a play at times. The acting is also horrible. Robert Englund is in this and how he got another role after this is a mystery. This is his 1st line he delivers with the worse country hick accent in movie history. "Name is Buck....and I'm raring to f&!c.".

I'm sure trying to follow up Texas with another great horror film was no easy task, but for this is just shameful. I'm glad Hooper pulled out of this funk to later bring us some great horror and sci-fi films!
