Tobe Hooper scores and directs this slasher horror starring Neville Brand, Roberta Collins and Robert Englund. The film follows numerous people as they come up against the psychotic proprietor of a secluded hotel who keeps a pet crocodile with an insatiable appetite for human flesh...

Produced by Steven Spielberg, this hugely successful horror flick apparently came under his directorial control, as well, despite the official credit being given to Tobe Hooper. Things start going bump in the night in a suburban home, much to the consternation of its resident family. When the youngest daughter gets sucked into the television screen, her parents call in an eccentric psychic for assistance.
