Eaten Alive (Death Trap) 1976.
The owner of a hotel murders people who upset him and feeds their bodies to his pet crocodile.
Another classic film by Tobe Hooper starring Neville Brand (Psychic Killer) as Judd the hotel owner and his strange pet. Carolyn Jones (The Addams Family) stars as Miss Hattie the brothel owner and a young Robert Englund as her best customer Buck.
The film is nowhere great than The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, it has the oddball Texas theme with a Scythe but does have it's murky smog look and hotel that Norman Bates would be proud to own. It does have a lot more going to it with decent acting and maybe a few jump scares which can be predictable still good fun to watch.
