One wintry night, pals Robin and Monica are making their way to a Christmas party when they're carjacked by a gang of crooks recently escaped from the local penitentiary. With the two young women taken as hostages, things take an even darker turn when their vehicle plummets down an abandoned mine shaft, trapping them underground with the dangerous crooks - and a mutant cannibal. Filmed in 1988 under the title of Forever Mine but not released until 1993, Trapped Alive was the first film to come out of Wisconsin's now-defunct Windsor Lake Studios, which would go on to produce a number of films under the Fangoria Films label in the early-90s, including 1992's Bruce Campbell-starring Mindwarp.

Though I've enjoyed his acting on occasion I never got all the hoohah for James Franco as a director. I feel a lot of his scripts are transgressive and controversial just for the sake of being transgressive & controversial. He wants to be an 'artist' using those age old shortcuts: shocks & nastiness and surprise surprise tormented gay guys. 6/2/2019 12:43:31 am
