Motel Hell (1980)
7/10
just about right...

This's a weird/creepy horror film with some small bits of humor thrown into the mix. It's more creepy than anything.

Having neglected to watch this for oh, 30+ years, I'd forgotten some of the stranger things that somebody had mentioned happened in this film. I'm not going to say anything other than that's the awesomely creepy stuff that may surprise you if you sit down to watch the film.

It may be a bit predictable by these times, but it's still a fun midnight movie. There's a slight lull in pacing towards the end of the film, but it finishes up strong .

I love that it's able to be a horror film without being excessively gory, especially given how over the top this could get in a more modern remake.

Rory Calhoun steals this film. Nina Axelrod is distractingly hot (I mean she does a good job in her role as well but damn, she is really beautiful here)
