There were a few nice flourishes like the voices that Evelyn hears but this is too cheap to trick you into thinking it's clever. I enjoyed the guy trying to work a threesome angle with two cousins he's just met. Movies like this are what keep me from trying to make my own film. In my head: Upstream Color. From my hands: Mountaintop Motel Massacre.

It says everything that the film opens with our villain killing a satan-worshipping kid and that’s somehow more or less forgotten the rest of the feature. The director instead took the taxidermy scene from Psycho and ran all the way with it. I just drove cross country, and in its favor the whole film felt like slumming at an off-brand Motel 6 in the middle of God’s nowhere, with grime and rusted blood and malformed dolls hoping for the rapture hiding in unseen corners of the room.

If your name was Bill McWilly, you would most certainly have to go by the name Willy McWilly.

Just want to start this off by saying that is a great tagline. They really don’t make them like that anymore. Sad. Slow, but hazy and rainy enough to build a decent atmosphere. Plus the location is perfect for this kind of thing. Love the shots through the rain drenched windows. Love the practical effects and gore. Done very well. All the bugs and rats used for terror added to the run down local give it just an icky feeling.

The motel location and the character of Evelyn makes you think of Hitchock's Psycho, and this is a kind of slasher riff on that film. There are some nice ideas, but they are not fully developed e.g. the daughter, the snakebite or the tunnels - which are better utilized by later films. The constant rain and decaying cabins create a nice atmosphere, but the film never grabs you and the characters are not interesting enough to be memorable.
