Scanialara You won't be disappointed!

GamerTab That was an excellent one.

AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks

Curapedi I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

Danny Blankenship Finally after all these years watched the B classic horror flick "Motel Hell" and it was funny, and a little crazy and a different style of film for sure! It's not a critical success, yet still as a cheap low budget B movie it stands the tale of time. Farmer Vincent and his sister are two rural southern country hick type of folks who run a motel and have a little game of letting visitors in and keeping them later on for lunch meat! That's fresh flesh to dine on! They have even planted a garden of human heads it's like they grow them in the ground of a garden! It was neat and fun seeing Farmer Vincent with a chainsaw and having a pig face in the end! Overall nothing great still a B classic film to check in and check out of!

Katy_Scary Hustler Magazine, Pigs, Cannibalism, S&M, Implied Incest, Hillbillies, Inbred, Gratuitous Nudity & Wolfman Jack... a perfect collaboration of a HOT MESS. The sister Ida was a manipulative, Fat Greasy Mess and she was my favorite character in this "horror" flick. Farmer Vincent, Gay. I was thankful for being a vegetarian after watching this movie. I wonder how many of you meat eaters have had animal meat mixed in with your fellow man. Yuck. Terri was the epitome of the dumb girl next door who gets caught up with some weird people. I can't imagine that any of these actors went on to be A-list in Hollywood. I imagine that the actress who played Terri went on to do Porn, Ida became fatter, Vincent married, had children and led a closeted life.

Michael_Elliott Motel Hell (1980)** 1/2 (out of 4)Vincent Smith (Rory Calhoun) has the greatest beef jerky and various meets in the country because he doesn't use preservatives. That and with the help of his sister (Nancy Parsons) he takes human's hostage and mixes their flesh with that of the pig.After accidentally saving a young woman (Nina Axelrod), Vincent plans on bringing her into the business but will she go for the killing? MOTEL HELL was released during the Golden Era of the slasher and it was pretty much overlooked upon its original release but over the next few decades its status as a cult film began to rise. I'm not going to sit here and say I'm a major fan of this film because there are certainly some major flaws but at the same time there's something rather surreal and just different about this film that makes it somewhat entertaining and enjoyable. If you're looking for non-stop gore then you're going to be disappointed. If you're looking for something frightful then you're not going to find it here. If you're just looking for a weird black comedy then this here is going to appeal to you.Again, there are some flaws that I'll discuss later but there are also some really good moments scattered throughout the picture including the "body farm" that is in the woods. You see, Vincent kidnaps the humans, cuts their vocal cords and buries them in his backyard so that their meat becomes tender enough to mix with that of the pigs. These scenes are quite effective and the gargling sounds that the humans make is certainly a little chilling. Another major plus is the performance by Calhoun who is completely believable in this role. He really does come across as one of those good, sweet old farm guys who are a joy to everyone. Calhoun really sells this aspect of the character but he also perfectly nails the crazy side of him. Parsons is also extremely good in her supporting role and while Axelrod doesn't give that great of a performance, she's still fun to watch and her nudity certainly doesn't hurt.There are some flaws with the film with the biggest being the fact that it clocks in at 101 -minutes, which is at least fifteen too long. I'm really not sure why they felt the need to run this thing so long but there are certain subplots that are just downright boring and that includes Vincent's brother and his attempt at dating the girl. These scenes really go nowhere and they just drag the picture down. Another problem is that the film is obviously after black humor but I think a little more of it would have helped. Still, MOTEL HELL deserves its reputation as a cult item because of the good things that are here.

Scott LeBrun As far as horror comedies go, "Motel Hell" is good, not great. It goes on a little long, and could have used more energy and better pacing, but when it does hit, it scores a bulls' eye. It does manage to often be genuinely funny in a dark way as well as creating some memorable bits of creepiness. It also gives its viewers a gem of a big finish: a chainsaw duel. It's a flavourful, atmospheric down-home flick that does populate its story with characters with whom one won't mind spending their time.Much of the credit should go to Western veteran Rory Calhoun, who's wonderful as demented good ol' boy farmer Vincent Smith, who both operates a backwoods motel (it's actually the Motel Hello, but the O in the neon sign burned out) and manufactures the best smoked meat within a 100 mile radius. It ain't exactly hard to figure out Vincent's secret ingredient, but it takes his lawman brother Bruce (Paul Linke of 'CHiPS') a while to catch on. Meanwhile, Vincent takes a shine to Terry (lovely Nina Axelrod), a sweet young thing who falls prey to one of his traps.Capably supporting old Rory is amiable Nancy Parsons, the character actress known best to most people as Balbricker in the "Porky's" series. There's also the curiosity value of seeing the legendary raspy voiced DJ Wolfman Jack in an acting role, as he plays Reverend Billy (and can also be heard on the radio, naturally). Keep an eye for Monique St. Pierre, Playboy Playmate of the year in 1979, and future 'Cheers' cast member John Ratzenberger, as two of the victims.Certainly the audience won't forget the sight & sound of Vincents' prey buried up to their necks in the ground and making horrible gurgling noises after getting their vocal cords slit. That's the creepy part. Overall, the movie is likable and not without style, thanks to director Kevin Connor ("The Land That Time Forgot"). It's got some memorably quotable dialogue and a priceless final line from Vincent.Mixing comedy and horror can be a hard thing to get right but at least "Motel Hell" strikes a reasonable balance throughout.Seven out of 10.
