"A psychotic redneck who owns a dilapidated hotel in rural East Texas kills various people who upset him or his business, and he feeds their bodies to a large crocodile that he keeps as a pet in the swamp beside his hotel."
Holy crap is this a dull movie! There is so much padding in here it's ridiculous. Characters stand around, the hotel owner keeps talking to himself and cleaning, conversations are pointless, you name it. Hell, the real plot doesn't even make itself really known until a half hour in.
The effects are decent enough, but everything else about this is a stinker. The only person who looks like they even tried to do any real acting here is Robert Englund. I also laughed because the opening line reminded me of a line from Kill Bill.
Opening line: "Name's Buck, and I'm rarin' to f-ck."

I was just going to say that looked like Englund before I even played the trailer. Yup, that sucked. And to think, back then people HAD to go to the theater to realize they'd been ripped off.
At least it was fairly cheap then.

Hooper always has extremes when it comes to his movies. They're either classic (TCM, Lifeforce) or absolute bottom of the barrel crap (this and Funhouse).

Oh, but Funhouse was a Dean Koontz adaption and I love it for how bad it is. Between the monster dude and the main actress, I laugh most of the way through it every time.

I couldn't make it past 25 minutes. It was so awful.

I do too. Bad I can deal with. Boring? Not so much.
