Motel Hell

Not gonna beat around the bush on this one; I just didn't get the same experience I see in so many other reviews on this. I can see why some people like it. It's weird and it's hard to turn away from. A creepily jovial farmer and his sister kidnapping people, planting them in the ground up to their necks, and using them to make sausages and jerky, but also running a motel, is fertile ground for a weird movie. And this is definitely a weird movie. But the jokes just never landed for me, the characters were too over the top to feel like anything but caricatures, the horror element never felt pushed hard enough ... it all just felt off for me. I can see getting some friends together, having a drink or two, and putting this on for riffing purposes, and maybe in the right mood, this'll strike someone, but for me, it was just okay and totally carried on its relentless weirdness.
