Can you feel it? Spring is in the air and with the warming of the Earth comes the fruits of the season. We see animals awake from their winter slumber, flowers bloom, and deranged farmers planting and fattening up people for sausages? Today's movie pick is inspired by the warming weather and all the life I see forming around me. A movie about hillbilly siblings, the Motel Hello, and sausages that are free of preservatives. Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you, Motel Hell.
This movie, in my opinion, is a funnier, campier Texas Chainsaw Massacre. It has cannibals, chainsaws and human BBQ's. What more do you need? The cannibal siblings don't really look all that different from the rest of the townsfolk, so they blend in easily. They are nice, hospitable and really non-threatening which is really an awesome twist in any horror movie. It's always the ones you don't expect. And, honestly, you kind of root for them throughout the movie. What I enjoy even more than the campy atmosphere is the costumes and imagery of the killers and their crops.
Let's start with the secret garden. The people are literally buried up to their necks, so if you were to walk through the garden you would see these people who have been transformed into zombies, if you will, wiggling their heads around and moaning. It is truly terrifying. What beats that is the pig head worn by big brother cannibal and motel proprietor, Vincent. During the final scenes of the film, Vincent and his brother, and local Sheriff, Bruce duel it out in a death match. Vincent is introduced in this grande and horrifying manner donning an actual pigs head on his head, while wielding a chainsaw. If that doesn't scare you even a little but, then nothing will. Don't get me wrong, this movie is not that scary but it does have its moments.
That's a wrap for today. I hope Motel Hell has put you in a spring time sort of mood. Hopefully not a hungry mood, remember "It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent Fritters". Let me know what you thought about today's post, either here or on any of my social medias and until next time, Stay Spooky.
