you can swear that the hotel was a little movie set, and the chase scenes were filmed with the cheap technic of repeating shots. the croc was a dummy.

...the croc was a dummy.

Really?

Actually I think the crocodile looks VERY good for a low budget film.

It looks realistic to me, but then again I'm used to low budget '50s/'60s/'70s movies and am not jaded by the CGI special effects of today.

Come, fly the teeth of the wind. Share my wings.

The croc looked pretty realistic for it's time much better than CGI, an interesting bit of trivia the same people who made the shark in Jaws made the croc in this film.

Wait, they didn't use real croc and feed Robert Englund to it?

I am shocked!

Your point is??? Nothing wrong with low budget Horror it tends to be a lot better than big budget Hollywood Horror.
