Captured Alive

Most viewers will conclude that this film is an utter waste of its rather limited budget. It's pretty stupid throughout, including the green toxic waste (of course), the unbelievable method use to obtain disposal workers, typical hill billies and more running and chasing around in woods then has ever been filmed. The plot outline, shown above, is pretty dead-on.

But, somehow I sat there and watched the whole film with a certain amount of interest and disbelief. I had to see how this was all going to resolve. The film contained no nudity, and I believe no bad language and the violence wasn't excessively bloody. One thing seemed really odd to me. The two female leads in the woods chase scenes were identically dressed, hair styles and color and facial complexion were extremely close. Since they were frequently switching partners, it was hard to determine the good one from the evil one. I mean the pants and inner shirt were identical. They also wore a plaid, unbuttoned outer shirt. I gave this movie a strong 2. The title on the video I rented was called "Deliver Us From Evil". Only fans of low budget films need apply.

I love great low budget movies and this is one of the better ones. I saw it titled captured alive and there were a few vulgar words and there was nudity. Vic Cooley Played by Master A.E.Vea was by far the best character in the movie. The acting is so so and the plot is so so, but but coolie is tough! its fun to watch him be tough! Compared to most modern movies "with money" its no comparison but thats comparing apples to oranges. This was filmed in famous places in Youngstown(which shows the budget) and if you live here you'll see places like bears den and the Youngstown airport. I would give this movie my free time.I give this orange 7 stars for entertainment value.

I just picked up a copy of this for 5 bucks at the local drug store -- god knows why I even looked at it, but I had time to kill waiting for a prescription, and something seemed familiar about it. I was in school in Pittsburgh when this 'movie' was made, and one of my friends dated an 'actress' who worked on it. You'll notice only 2 of the actors in this have pictures next to their IMDb entries; this is because this movie is SO shamefully bad. Another reviewer asked how it ever got financed, and my response would be that some older men with money can sometimes be convinced that by risking it all on a sloppy concoction of Hillbilly stereotypes, bad stunts, bad acting, bad costuming, bad set design, bad special effects, and bad writing, they might get to meet young 'actresses' and act like big-shots. In other words, this movie is the Hollywood equivalent of pimps rolling johns -- it was a con game, and THAT story would make a pretty good film in itself, if Steve Martin and Eddie Murphy hadn't already made the hilarious Bowfinger's Big Thing. The producers actually spent most of the film's budget for a couple of (racist) scenes with Pat Morita so they'd be able to sell it in Asia. This film is good for a laugh -- if you like crap! Does Gilbert Godfried still do Up All Night?
