Motel Hell (1980)

Pop Culture Phenomenon Films: 80’s (1473 movies items)

" Farmer Vincent kidnaps unsuspecting travellers and is burying them in his garden. Unfortunately for his victims, they are not dead. He feeds his victims to prepare them for his roadside stand. His motto is: It takes all kinds of critters...to make Farmer Vincents fritters. Because of its low budget, the original intent was to make a serious horror film, with moments of disturbing wit and irony. It is often seen as a satire of modern horror films such as Psycho and The Texas Chain Saw Massacre"

Pros and Cons of Films: Vol. 1 (121 movies items)

"Pros: It’s The Texas Chainsaw, a dark horror comedy. Motel Hell, has some pretty odd moments. Imagine a slasher film, directed by John Waters? It’s decidedly better than it sounds. Cons: It’s more silly than scary."

After years of success, however, the duo's upstanding brother, Sheriff Bruce, eventually discovers the grotesque details of his siblings' booming business: Vincent and Ida are actually plumping up their hotel patrons, killing and dismembering them and then grinding them into frankfurters. It's taken me a long time to get around to watching Motel "
