Deep in the sweltering backwoods of East Texas, the Ewell Hotel stands as a decaying monument to decay and despair, run by the volatile and unstable Judd. A man with a hair-trigger temper, he views his downtrodden guests as either prey or annoyances, and those who cross him or threaten his meager livelihood meet a grisly fate. Beneath the murky waters of the adjacent swamp, a monstrous crocodile waits, fattened on the unspeakable secrets Judd uses to keep his own demons fed. As travelers check in and never check out, the air grows thick with dread, and the line between predator and prey blurs in this grimly atmospheric shocker from Tobe Hooper, the master of visceral horror.
