Horror Vault's take

Deep in the bayous of East Texas, a crumbling roadside hotel harbors a proprietor whose grip on sanity is tenuous at best — and whose swamp-dwelling crocodile has developed a taste for human flesh. Director Tobe Hooper crafts a fever-dream of Southern Gothic dread, trapping a succession of unlucky guests in the orbit of a dangerously unhinged killer. With a lurid, sweat-soaked atmosphere and a cast stacked with exploitation-era talent, the film pushes viewers into a world where the natural and human threats are equally merciless. Escape feels impossibly far away when the monster is both the man and the beast outside the door.
