Deep in the Louisiana bayou sits the ramshackle Starlight Hotel, destination of choice for those who like to check in but not check out!
The owner of a run-down Louisiana motel kills whoever wanders into his corner of the swamp, with the aid of a large, hungry alligator.
Hooper followed Chain Saw with the crude, similarly nightmarish Eaten Alive (1977), in which Judd (Neville Brand), the scythe-wielding proprietor of a Louisiana bayou hotel, fed his guests to his pet crocodile.
To wit: [Eaten Alive] was set in a sleazy, dirtbag hotel in Florida. Hooper had grown up in the hotel business, even spending some of his youth in neighboring Louisiana, so one has to wonder if he was remembering a particularly unpleasant period from his youth, or merely turning his experience with regional hotels to his cinematic advantage.
