- Synopsis
- Judd runs the Starlight Hotel out in some sort of swampy place, and is unfortunately a few slices short of a loaf. He has a crocodile conveniently placed on the other side of the front porch railing. The croc will eat just about anything, as the hapless guests of the hotel find out soon enough. A reformed hooker, an unlucky family, and the father and sister of the hooker all suffer various rates of attrition as Judd tries to implement damage control.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Blackly comic elements do little to blunt the unsettling aura created by the garish lighting and intense dentist-drill 'score.'"
-
"Although 'Eaten Alive' is not so unusual or terrifying as T'exas Chainsaw', Hooper does a fine job of building up the Southern-gothic atmosphere"
-
" It's an interesting footnote, and will likely be of interest to hardcore horror fans, but those looking for a lost masterpiece will likely come away disappointed."
