    An underrated and fun horror comedy!

    The distinctive taste of Farmer Vincent's (Rory Calhoun) prime meats is renowned in the farmer's rural area. In fact people come from far and wide to sample his uniquely delicious meat treats. The only real question is why is there rarely anyone staying in his nearby motel and yet the `No Vacancy' sign is usually on?

    ‘Motel Hell' is a fun and somewhat graphic parody of films like ‘The Texas Chainsaw Massacre' (1974) and ‘The Last House on the Left' (1972). By sparingly using shock tactics and graphic effects, ‘Motel Hell' plays up the more satirical aspect and keeps the viewer interested and entertained. In fact, the movie easily equals the number of shocking moments with a variety of funny and charming sequences which range from heckling televangelists to a hilarious send-up of the lives of swingers. Viewers of ‘Motel Hell' can be treated to a chainsaw duel (possible influence for ‘Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2'), a garden of humans being prepared for harvesting, cannibalism and a particularly stomach-churning conversation about smoking dogs. This movie is without a doubt one of the most underrated movies of its era and while not being as effective, or enjoyable, as ‘Re-Animator' (1985) and ‘Evil Dead 2' (1987), it remains an intelligent, gruesome and witty horror/comedy. Unfortunately the movie tends to drag a little shortly before the final sequences which can be slightly off-putting. However, the highly enjoyable and eventful ten minutes more than make up for this brief lapse and round the film off almost perfectly.

    Rory Calhoun, without a shadow of a doubt, steals the show with his portrayal of the deranged yet surprisingly pleasant Vincent. Some adept scripting from Robert and Steven-Charles Jaffe give his murderous character a somewhat pleasant and appealing personality. The viewer can only laugh at the God-fearing persona that Vincent possesses as he talks about the creative and artistic way he catches stray humans to mix in with his meat. Rory is brilliantly accompanied by Nancy Parsons in the role of his overweight and slightly dim-witted sister Ida. One could even question whether Ida is supposed to be a female and slightly more intelligent version of TCM's Leatherface. The rarely seen and beautiful actress Nina Axelrod is also delightful in her role as Terry, a young woman who was caught in but survived one of Vincent's devious traps. Unfortunately the scripting for the character of Terry was rather poor and it becomes hard for the viewer to connect with her. However, given the material she had to work with, Nina put in an impressive performance and when required, added greatly to the humorous aspect of the movie. One cannot also neglect to mention Paul Linke who plays Vincent's (much) younger brother Sheriff Bruce Smith. Linke's performance, although the weakest of the main actors, is still enjoyable and provides both a villain and a hero in one.

    Kevin Connor's direction was of a particularly high standard although it seemed basic during the opening portions of the movie. Connor managed to capture the devilish yet fun atmosphere of the script and worked in all of the clever references to other movies seamlessly. These references (in addition to those already mentioned) included a captivating comedic illustration of ‘Night of the Living Dead' (1968) and Zombie Holocaust which was released in Italy earlier the same year. ‘Motel Hell' is probably worth watching for horror/comedy fans; though do not expect another ‘Evil Dead 2'. Thanks to some usually good scripting, above average performances and some truly side-splitting situations, ‘Motel Hell' succeeds at what it sets out to be - great fun for cheesy horror lovers! My rating for ‘Motel Hell' – 7/10.

    Ridiculous But Works

    This movie is like if someone took the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and set it in the backwoods of North Carolina, but added a little more humor. Instead of making chili, the sadistic brother and sister are making world famous jerky. The acting is surprisingly decent for a low budget, forgotten horror movie. The story is a bit more suspenseful, slowly building to murders and the suspense of the main character catching on to what the "meat" smokers are up to. Rory Calhoun (Vincent/ the old man) really stands out as he does remarkable job of switching back and forth between appearing as a comforting and compassionate figure to a sadistic and insane killer. If you're looking for an hour and a half to kill, give this a watch.

    Surprisingly enjoyable black comedy. Lots of fun!

    I love a good horror movie, and I love a good comedy, but very rarely do I enjoy a blending of the two. I expected 'Motel Hell' to disappoint for that reason, but much to my surprise I found it was an extremely enjoyable mixture of black humour and genuinely creepy scenes. One of the reasons the movie works so well is because of the excellent casting choice of Hollywood veteran Rory Calhoun in the lead role of eccentric farmer and Motel manager Vincent Smith. Calhoun was best known for his Westerns, though he made one of two genre movies in his long career including the very silly 'Night Of The Lepus', and the nutty 'Hell Comes To Frogtown'. 'Motel Hell' is quite different to those two, and mostly played straight, which makes it all the more effective. Calhoun is well supported by the less well known Nancy Parsons ('Porky's'), as his equally unbalanced sister. I really liked 'Motel Hell' a lot, and highly recommend it to viewers with a sick sense of humour. Fans of early Tobe Hooper movies, or some of Garth Ennis' comics will especially appreciate it. This movie is a lot of fun! Dig in!

    It flirts with gleeful insanity, but is too shy to fully commit

    When Terry (Nina Axelrod) survives a crash on a country road on her boyfriend Bo's motorcycle, a seemingly friendly Farmer/Motel owner, Farmer Vincent (Rory Calhoun) and his younger sister Ida (Nancy Parsons) let her stay at the Motel until she recovers. The Motel is well regarding for Farmer Vincent's smoked meats that are as affordable as they are delicious, but little does Terry know that "It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's Fritters"

    Originally intended as a much darker film for Texas Chainsaw Massacre director Tobe Hooper, the project originally intended for Universal Studios was cancelled with Hooper dropping out. When the Project was revived with United Artist and British director Kevin Connor better known for his Marc McClure adventure films based on Edgar Rice Burrows books the project scaled back many of the darker, gorier, and taboo aspects of the original screenplay and reformatted the project as a dark comedy/horror. The film was largely ignored upon release by audiences who were irked by the fact the movie was more comedic in contrast to the marketing campaign that emphasized the horror elements. Critical reception was more positive with critics enjoying the satire of Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Psycho as well as a really good performance from Rory Calhoun as Farmer Vincent. While the movie does have some good elements to it, it doesn't go as far as it could've.

    The movie is a lot of fun with it's twisted take on the country horror genre which had capture the public through the 70s with films like Deliverance, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Hills Have Eyes, and a number of Ed Gein inspired horror films both mainstream and independent. The movie takes that established framework and fits it through a twisted lens of American pop culture, which brings us to our main villain of the movie Farmer Vincent. Rory Calhoun is an absolute delight as the man, playing the character as a mixture of Orville Redenbacher, Oliver Wendell Douglas, and Ed Gein. The man has a charm to him that makes him seem almost like a spokes person for any number of grocery store products that makes him trust worthy, but also carries enough intensity to be quietly threatening as well. Nancy Parsons is also quite good playing Vincent's sister Ida and the scenes of them in their "secret garden" where they converse while prepping the "meat" are the perfect mixture of creepy and entertaining. In many ways the scenes of Ida and Vincent are like watching the Texas Chainsaw Massacre house if it were framed like an episode of Green Acres (albeit with slightly less grisly details).

    The movie is enjoyable, but it has a few drawbacks. Nina Axelrod unfortunately isn't all that interesting as our proxy for much of the movie, and she's not really all that funny or engaging in her scenes. Paul Linke also feels like something of an extraneous character and feels like his character could've been merged with Terry's to create a stronger protagonist. The movie also doesn't have the punch or impact to certain scenes because it doesn't want to get "too gory". The movie doesn't really cut loose until around the last 10 minutes (with a dueling chainsaw battle that's pretty entertaining), and often the movie will cut away from the gorier/meatier bits of the movie. That's a big part of what holds this movie back because unlike Sam Raimi, Peter Jackson, or even some Steve Miner movies it doesn't give that level of impact to itself because it's holding back.

    Motel Hell is a good Horror Comedy. It's largely due to Rory Calhoun's strong comic performance that this movie has endeared as long as it has, but there's some funny gags and encounters that make the film quite enjoyable. Our main characters are rather bland unfortunately and the movie shies away from going as far as it could've, but it's a decent movie that deserves an audience.

    Smoked meat, a real treat!

    In my opinion, there's only one way when mixing comedy and horror actually works, and that's when the comedy is pitch-black. Director Kevin Connor got that part all figured out, and thus MOTEL HELL can be regarded as a successful horror/comedy mixture. It also manages to give a big nod to THE Texas CHAINSAW MASSACRE by paying homage to it and making fun of it (as opposed to what some people might think, MOTEL HELL is not a TCM-rip-off). I even suspect Tobe Hooper might have found some inspiration in MOTEL HELL for his end-battle in TCM 2 between Dennis Hopper and Leatherface.

    The cinematography and camera-movements are surprisingly decent for this rather low-budget flick, as well as some make-up effects (I loved it when the camera slowly travels through the dark living-room only to reveal Nancy Parsons hiding behind the door, holding a big knife at the end of the travel-shot). It's best that you know nothing about the story, but then again knowing that it's about a farmer running a hotel does say a lot, doesn't it. Farmer Vincent Smith sure re-defines the word "agri-culture". There isn't very much gore to admire but the idea alone is sick enough to satisfy any horror-fan. The story itself is fun and has a satisfying climax. I only had one problem with the motivations of Nina Axelrod's character. Why wasn't she more upset about her dead boyfriend? Why did she stay with the Smiths anyway? Didn't she have places to go or weren't there friends and family waiting for her? But I guarantee you'll soon forget those questions when she provides some welcome nudity.

    So MOTEL HELL has black humor, demented farmers and a creepy motel. That makes up for a good movie, I'd say.

    • Curiosidades
      United Artists marketed "Motel Hell" as a straightforward horror film rather than a black comedy/horror film, fearing that any quirkiness in the theatrical trailers or the theatrical release posters would drive away potential audiences, but the tagline "You might just die...laughing!" still appeared on several of the aforementioned theatrical release posters.
    • Erros de gravação
      The events in the film supposedly take place during summer according to Boris' makeshift gravestone (Boris Tulinsky 3-5-1923 to 6-7-1980) but later in it, the two young women that encounter the fake herd of cows are dressed in winter clothing, are talking about a ski instructor, and have skis strapped to the roof of their car, implying that it takes place during winter.

    • Cenas durante ou pós-créditos
      The film's opening title image is the neon-lit sign "Motel Hello" with the "o" at the end of it burned out. The entire sign is later shown to be slowly short circuiting during the closing credits and finally exploding after said closing credits end.
    • Versões alternativas
      Although the UK theatrical version of the film was uncut, the 1986 UK Warner Bros. video release of it had to have two seconds cut from it to remove a closeup shot of a chainsaw wound during the ending. The 2002 ILC DVD release of it, however, was completely uncut.
