Mountaintop Motel Massacre

1983 · 96 min

A grimy, offbeat slasher that feels like a rainy night at a rundown motel, with creeping dread and sudden sickle violence.

Tagline: Please do not disturb Evelyn. She already is.
Overview: After several years in an insane asylum, Evelyn, the keeper of the Mountaintop Motel, is released and resumes doing business. She kills her young charge out of anger, but convinces the police it was an accident - and pushed into insanity, she then proceeds to target her guests, first by releasing vermin into their rooms, but then by using her trusty sickle.
How it feels: Dark, eerie, tense and campy. Measured and easy to follow.
About: Madness, violence, isolation, death
Content: Strong violence and gore. Mild sexual content and language.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
