The Initiation is one of the top ten 80s slasher movies. It stars Daphne Zuniga of Spaceballs fame. Good T&A plus gore, it satisfies the slasher flick formula. Mountaintop Motel Massacre is certainly watchable. Overall it is a pretty good deal to get both for the price of one.

nice presentation in one disc, with the initiation wich is better than it was meant to be with a really talented and beautiful daphne zuniga

These are pretty good slasher flics. Montaintop Motel Massacre is about an escaped mental patient who goes on a murderous rampage in a secluded hotel in the mountaintops. She hides beneath the floors and hacks people up with a hand sythe. Pretty good. Initiation is a classic film about 2 identical ladies. One's good and one's evil. The evil one wants to go back to the good one's family and take her place. You get the picture.

Ah, the 1980's. Horor movies looked realisitic, the cast were usually great despite them being unknown and probably there only film, the blood looked real to a kill and they didnt spray 100 gallons of blood over one simple stab wound, and no CGI effects. They just dont make horror films like they use too and it's a damn shame, but I digress.

The trailer for The Initiation was awesome, made me want to watch the film. The movie itself was pretty good overall but I thought the first half of the film dragged a bit. When they got to an empty department store is where the film really takes off. The kills were good and the story was very well done. God I love 70's and 80's horror films so much.

Mountaintop Motel Massacre was a big disappointment. I will admit the cover is probably one of my favorite horror movie posters of all time, it looks so cool. From the start the film is confusing and when she goes psycho, the film never takes off. Still, it's an 80's horror movie (even though I wouldnt consider it horror) and I respect it.

A great double feature. It's nice to have double features rather then have one film because even if one film sucks, you got one good movie. If they both suck, oh well.

Both films are very good, and can't beat the price. The Inititation is a great slasher, and Mountaintop Motel Massacre is also very good with excellent mood and atmosphere..acting is above average for both of these great slasher classics, gotta love the 80's!

I was really pleased with this 2 movie dvd this is really good low budget fear fest from the good scary movie making days of the late 1970's just terrific.

This is worth buying for the 1984 slasher film, The Initiation, forget the other movie.
The Initiation features a few good scares and is well worth a look, it's not fantastic horror though.

Not bad movies, the Initiation was the better of the two. The second one was really low budget, not much of a story plot

Two cheesy ultra low-budget B-movies. Hey, there isn't anything wrong with low-budget movies. It's just that neither of these choices are anything to recommend. The reason is simple, some may not even watch the films all the way through the first time. Most others will never desire to see the two films a second time for sure. So why buy a DVD that you'll never watch again? This review was written for those that haven't made a purchase of this double feature. In hopes that dollars are saved. However, if your like me you've already bought it. I happens to the best of us.
