A number of lost souls find refuge in a small motel in the middle of nowhere, it’s only distinguishing characteristic being the ruins of an old Mystery Spot—a long-dead roadside attraction with strange metaphysical powers. Everyone at the Mystery Spot will be affected by its unique properties, but only some will survive its reality-shattering implications.
Apparently squeezing this one in in-between Vfw and The Leech, Graham Skipper makes another welcome genre appearance in Mystery Spot which, early on, certainly lives up to the name. Though this film doesn’t seem to have garnered as much genre press as Skipper’s other works, even if this one did receive its world...
