Nearly a decade before he donned Freddy Krueger s famous red and green sweater, horror icon Robert Englund delivered a supremely sleazy performance in Eaten Alive another essay in taut Southern terror from Tobe Hooper, director of The Texas Chain Saw Massacre.

Deep in the Louisiana bayou sits the ramshackle Starlight Hotel, destination of choice for those who like to check in but not check out! Bumbling Judd, the patron of this particular establishment, may seem like a good-natured ol Southern gent but he has a mean temper on him, and a mighty large scythe to boot...

Oozing atmosphere from its every pore (the entire film was shot on a sound-stage which lends it a queasy, claustrophobic feel), Eaten Alive matches The Texas Chain Saw Massacre for sheer insanity helped in no small part by some marvellous histrionics from Chain Saw star Marilyn Burns and William Finley (Phantom of the Paradise).

Macabre maestro Tobe Hooper guarantees a hot and cold running bloodbath in each room!

Lurking somewhere deep within the swelteringly sinister swamps lies the insanely inhospitable 'Starlight Hotel', this diabolically death-dealing domicile being morosely run by the maniacal misfit Judd (Neville Brand), a persistently poisonous proprietor perversely providing inexorable doom in each and every room, wherein the guileless guest cannot refuse the generous harms, and is gruesomely guaranteed to rest in pieces, whether by skull-shattering scythe, or flesh-shredding maw of a distempered lake dwelling B-Movie behemoth, in this woefully misbegotten dive y'all be 'Eaten Alive' by an uncommon fear, with terror-ific turns from lurid legends Neville Brand, Robert England, Carolyn Jones, and a sublimely sensuous starlit performance from bodaciously buxom scream dream Janus Blyth! Macabre maestro Tobe Hooper's outrageously hostile hostel proves to be a horrific host to a kaleidoscopic calamity of heinous, flesh-flaying horrors, thereby guaranteeing a hot and cold running bloodbath in each room!
