However,Motel Hellwas anything but.
Heck, one of the killers even carries a chainsaw!
One guy, three horror icons.

When I first got into horror movies as a teen, I couldn’t wait to rentMotel Hell.
With that plot and the image of a pig-headed killer waving a chainsaw, I was in.
Then I watched it, and it was not the movie I had signed up for.

Motel Hellwas written and produced by brothersRobert JaffeandSteven-Charles Jaffe.
Robert Jaffe told Fangoria that the intent was “to do a tongue-in-cheek axe-ploitation film.
However, Ebert wrote, “WhatMotel Hellbrings to this genre is the refreshing sound of laughter.”

I’d argue thatMotel Hellisn’t quite that silly.This isn’tScary MovieorStudent Bodiesterritory.
