5.0 out of 5 stars Mama's getting sick again, January 28, 2004

By	"demon_fey777" (Heath, Ohio United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mountaintop Motel Massacre (DVD)

The tagline for the movie was "Don't disturb Evelyn, she already is." How true that turned out to be. Evelyn is our main character, such a poor little thing she is. Not only is she a widow who runs a motel and has a daughter who practices the black arts, she also happens to be crazy and has been a resident at a mental hospital. In a fit of fury she kills her daughter Lorri. The authorities pass it off as a accident and Evelyn is free to go and manage her motel. But when Evelyn gets some tenants on a stormy night, she starts to crack.

This movies is a morbid gem and filled with unease. If you're going to watch the movie, do so at night, by yourself with the lights off. If the whispering voices and bone-chilling music doesn't get to you I don't know what will.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good old cheapie that works!!, June 26, 2001

By	Jerry Beaudin "beaudinjoseph2" (Tecumseh, ON Canada) - See all my reviews

The 80's was a decade filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of really stupid and pointless horror movies. Most of them direct-to-video. But MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE is one of the few stand-outs. This movie is good old fashion horror fun. And the new re-mastered VHS looks and sounds great. What makes this movie worth while is a cast of colorful, if not stereotypical, characters. The performers do their best to have fun with the story and play along with the situation, no matter how outrageous it gets. What is remarkable, is the creepy atmosphere. The motel itself is a run-down spooky old place hidden in the woods. It really does add a whole dimension to the movie. And some of the set-pieces, such as an underground tunnel that travels beneath the motel rooms, make for some great moments. Evelyn Chambers, our star and serial killer, is one hell of a nut job, and the actress who plays her does a great job of having fun with the role. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a mindless, but creepy, camp fest from the 80's. Think of it as a very bad version of PSYCHO.

5.0 out of 5 stars wonderful underated 80's horror, July 20, 2001

By	Timothy R. Sams (Ivory Coast, South Africa) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Mountaintop Motel Massacre (DVD)

True horror fans of the 80's will love this film. Evelyn might not be the most frightening of all, but she works wonderfuly in the movie. I agreed with most of the reviewers on the spookiness of the film, I only wish Crenshaw would have survived and Allan died! One must view this fine art late at night after a few on the town when percipitation is at its highest and fully whook balled. Or on vacation in the mountains. I am pleased to have found this "lost" wonder of horror. I only wish, as one reviewer said, someone would release more of these treasures.
