Rating: Summary: What the? Review: So they call this a horror movie do they? God help us! I like the "Slumber Party Massacre" movies and thought that this was something like that. On the cover it looks great! I couldn`t wait to get this one. Sat down in front of the tv and turned on. It did exactly nothing for me. Money well spent i thought to myself. Luckily i found a store that pays for dvd`s. Poor suckers. I could have been so much better!

Rating: Summary: Good old cheapie that works!! Review: The 80's was a decade filled with hundreds, if not thousands, of really stupid and pointless horror movies. Most of them direct-to-video. But MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE is one of the few stand-outs. This movie is good old fashion horror fun. And the new re-mastered VHS looks and sounds great. What makes this movie worth while is a cast of colorful, if not stereotypical, characters. The performers do their best to have fun with the story and play along with the situation, no matter how outrageous it gets. What is remarkable, is the creepy atmosphere. The motel itself is a run-down spooky old place hidden in the woods. It really does add a whole dimension to the movie. And some of the set-pieces, such as an underground tunnel that travels beneath the motel rooms, make for some great moments. Evelyn Chambers, our star and serial killer, is one hell of a nut job, and the actress who plays her does a great job of having fun with the role. I recommend this movie to anyone looking for a mindless, but creepy, camp fest from the 80's. Think of it as a very bad version of PSYCHO.
Rating: Summary: Mama's getting sick again Review: The tagline for the movie was "Don't disturb Evelyn, she already is." How true that turned out to be. Evelyn is our main character, such a poor little thing she is. Not only is she a widow who runs a motel and has a daughter who practices the black arts, she also happens to be crazy and has been a resident at a mental hospital. In a fit of fury she kills her daughter Lorri. The authorities pass it off as a accident and Evelyn is free to go and manage her motel. But when Evelyn gets some tenants on a stormy night, she starts to crack. This movies is a morbid gem and filled with unease. If you're going to watch the movie, do so at night, by yourself with the lights off. If the whispering voices and bone-chilling music doesn't get to you I don't know what will.

Rating: Summary: Montaintop Motel Massacre Review: This is one of the worst horror films I've seen. I love it! If you like crappy films, this one's for you. Bad acting, horrible plot, what else can you ask for?
Rating: Summary: wonderful underated 80's horror Review: True horror fans of the 80's will love this film. Evelyn might not be the most frightening of all, but she works wonderfuly in the movie. I agreed with most of the reviewers on the spookiness of the film, I only wish Crenshaw would have survived and Allan died! One must view this fine art late at night after a few on the town when percipitation is at its highest and fully whook balled. Or on vacation in the mountains. I am pleased to have found this "lost" wonder of horror. I only wish, as one reviewer said, someone would release more of these treasures.
