People come to the Starlight Inn and if the owner (Neville Brand) doesn't like their vibe, he tosses them to his imported Nile crocodile. Look man, they can't all be Citizen Kane.
This is a B-grade creature feature with shitty prosthetics, a rubber alligator, and a soundtrack of creaky country music that rips through your ears like a buzzsaw. The music is so loud in this whoever mixed the sound should have been fined and/or given jail time. It also features a young, fresh-faced mangenue (real word!) named Robert England. And for some ungodly reason, Carolyn Jones, Mel Ferrer, and Stuart Whitman. Reality show fans will also notice Kyle Richards as six-year-old Angie.
Having now seen this, I'm left wondering if Quentin Tarantino deliberately modeled his personality after Englund's character, or if it was subconscious. Because ho damn.
I'm not going to lie to you, this isn't a good movie by any stretch. But it is exactly what it says on the tin and sometimes that's enough. It's currently streaming on Peacock and Tubi.
