CROCSPLOITATION!
Order Crocodylia runnin' wild!
EATEN ALIVE 1976
“Probably the best cinematic attempt to capture the otherworldly madness of the death of the American Dream."
-- THE OFFICIAL SPLATTER MOVIE GUIDE
​
Darker, danker and even more disturbed than THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE, EATEN ALIVE is director Tobe Hooper’s follow-up to his iconic classic. Neville Brand is unforgettable as the gibbering yokel manning a decrepit swampside motel (which is beautifully rendered on a dusty soundstage). As Robert “Freddy Krueger” Englund, William Finley (PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE), and Marilyn Burns (returning from THE TEXAS CHAIN SAW MASSACRE) make their way to this diseased charnel house, Brand makes quick use of his trusty scythe in order to feed his famished pet crocodile. EATEN ALIVE blends the aggressive, hallucinatory drive of CHAIN SAW with the out-of-control theatrics of an off-off-Broadway tribulation.

ALLIGATOR 1980
It lives 50 feet beneath the city. It’s 36 feet long. It weighs 2,000 pounds… and it’s about to break out! A baby alligator is flushed down a toilet and survives by eating discarded lab rats that’ve been injected by experimental growth hormones. But when the once-tiny family pet escapes the sewers and goes on a rampage in the city, it’s up to an easygoing detective and a herpetologist to stop the carnage. Written and directed by animal attack movie veterans John Sayles (PIRANHA, THE HOWLING) and Lewis Teague (CUJO) and starring Robert Forster (JACKIE BROWN) in one of his most memorable roles, ALLIGATOR is a sly thriller with a surprising amount of bite!
