Motel Hell

Motel Hell centers around one of my favorite cult movie topics; cannibalism. A strange set of siblings run a roadside motel (Motel Hello - the "O" on the neon sign is on the fritz) and a smoked meat business. Their "secret recipe" jerky is world famous and people come from miles around to get the stuff. But, what exactly makes their meat so special? If you haven't already guessed, some motel patrons check-in but they don't check-out.

The movie has a nice balance of comedy and horror along with a twisted romance. Like Psycho, House of 1000 Corpses and Texas Chainsaw Massacre, after viewing this film you'll most likely think twice about entering a roadside business in the middle of nowhere, because they're probably owned by sociopathic entrepreneurs.
