Review of Motel Hell

Motel Hell (1980)
5/10
Okay drive in style flick
19 April 2011
5/10 means average, and I rate this 6/10, just a notch above, because there wasn't any airs put on. The connections of this film are probably happy with that. They didn't try to be heavy handed. They knew they weren't making THE THIRD MAN or THE STRANGER. There was no intention of "classic" movie making.

This is standard horror fare. We know that Calhoun is playing a lunatic. We know it before the movie starts.

This movie has a few little things going for it. The horror scenes are well enough to frighten those who just want horror, and some memorable moments there. What puts this above are the black comedy and a few things I don't want to spoil.

Nice little pajama party movie, or a drive in style flick.
