This week’s retro trailer highlights Tobe Hooper’s 1976 horror film Eaten Alive, a gritty, Southern Gothic tale set in rural Texas. The film features Neville Brand as Judd, a deranged hotel owner who murders guests and feeds them to his pet crocodile. While it attempts to capitalize on the success of Jaws, it embraces grindhouse exploitation with its surreal style and eccentric cast, including Robert Englund. Though not as impactful as Texas Chain Saw Massacre, it remains a bizarre and disturbing gem for fans of 70s horror.
