Eaten Alive
Directed by Tobe Hooper
A crazy veteran's backwoods hotel comes complete with a hungry, hungry crocodile in Tobe Hooper's fearsome follow up to THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE. But the killer croc's not the only horror icon in this twisted tale - Hooper also cast the original Morticia Addams, Carolyn Jones, scream queen Marilyn Burns, and future Freddy Krueger Robert Englund in supporting roles. Using a wild beast instead of a man with a chainsaw, Hooper serves up another chilling cautionary tale about pissing off the wrong folks when traveling through the wild backcountry of America.

Interesting take on the slasher genre. Great atmosphere throughout the movie.
If this wasn't directed by Tobe Hooper it would be completely ignored. There are a few TCM textures to it (the sound, the deranged protagonist, the sense of everyone being tied to one decrepit locale) but if the director didn't enjoy (justified) God-Among_Us status we'd happily toss Eaten Alive onto the Troma pile.
Great fun watch, worth if for Judd and his killer croc!
Pretty incoherent, really bad acting and I didn’t care about any of the characters.
not the worst I’ve seen
