TOBE LIKE GOB!!


Watched "Eaten Alive" by Tobe (Texas Chainsaw Massacre) Hooper. Hopefully Tobe is pronounced like GOB.
                          "Hey look,
                             a seagull!"

Made two years after the Massacre, Eaten Alive takes place in a decrepit hotel some Louisiana swamp. When a prostitute refuses to receive anal sex from Robert (Freddy Kruger) Englund, she gets thrown out on the street by the owner and with nowhere to go, plans on spending the night at the swamp hotel. However her plans are brutally fucking massacred when she meets the rapey owner of the hotel and is severely injured by a pitchfork thing during the ensuing attempted rape. The hotel owner then feeds her to the african crocodile living in the swamp. A family shows up to the hotel and has their dog eaten by the crocodile. The young daughter is traumatized by this, and the family rents a room and puts the daughter to bed. The lighting for the film becomes sex shop red, and the father starts to babble about how the wife is gouging his eyes out while he takes some prescription medication. The family of the murdered prostitute comes by the hotel looking for her, and all hell breaks loose. For the next hour the owner chases everyone around as they come and go form the hotel with what is honestly the worst weapon ever for a slasher film killer, like worse then a chainsaw. He caries this fucking monstrosity around,


trying to kill people but miserably failing. Honestly, it takes him like 45 minutes to attempt to kill a little girl. The scythe gives you no manoeuvrability, a machete is 100 times better, even Freddy's knife glove can do better than that. SO, at the small video store I am currently employed at we have some pretty cool shit, my next watch will be another film called Eaten Alive I have seen among the horror DVDs. This time it's an italian film from the 80s exploiting that cannibal tribe phenomenon that influenced films from that time. Also I should have some pictures of bitching ties up soon as I so far have failed to keep that end of the bargain up or something.
