About Mountaintop Motel Massacre
After several years in an insane asylum, Evelyn, the keeper of the Mountaintop Motel, is released and resumes doing business. She kills her young charge out of anger, but convinces the police it was an accident - and pushed into insanity, she then proceeds to target her guests, first by releasing vermin into their rooms, but then by using her trusty sickle.
Directed by Jim McCullough Sr., Mountaintop Motel Massacre leans on a strong ensemble — Anna Chappell, Bill Thurman, Will Mitchel — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about horror titles of 1983.
