DVD Reviews of Deranged/Motel Hell (Midnite Movies Double Feature)
DVD Review: Motel Gein.........
Summary: 5 Stars
Two of the great horror classics. Deranged, this movie is about serial killer Edward Gein. There have been many movies on Gein, Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs, and ect. Deranged is more closer to the story. Excellent early effects by the master Tom Savini. Motel Hell title says it all. Creepy brother, and sister makes people into meat suprise. Great line of cast Wolfman Jack, Porky's Nancy Parsons, and Playboy's playmate. Midnite movies have done it again, great classics to live by. Hope Motel Hell remake is just as good as the original.DVD Review: 1980 Horror fun.
Summary: 4 Stars
I loved this double feature,lookout for a cameo with Cliff from Cheers as a cheesy rockbands drummer.DVD Review: Motel Hell
Summary: 4 Stars
Funny, B Rated 80s horror. Motel Hell is a classic thrasher movie with a few odd twists. I would like to see a remake of this one. I still get a kick out of it when I watch it today. A lot more comical than it was when I was a kid.
STORY
------
Husband and Wife own a motel and they plant peoples bodies in the ground. When they are ready, they dig em up, cut em up, and sell them as beef jerky to customers.
DVD Review: 2 for the price of one...Worth it?
Summary: 1 Stars
These 2 movies are really really horrible. They fit the genre of crappy, campy b'rated horror, accept they aren't good! Do yourself a favor, save 4 hours for something better...DVD Review: Two Good Horror Movies
Summary: 4 Stars
Deranged was the only film i hadnt seen yet based on Ed Gein and I have to say i was pleasantly suprised. Made in 1974, it takes a different approach to the other films using a narrator to offer his two cents during the film. I know the story well by now but I was satisfied with the acting and found it to be a decent horror film based on the atrocities of Ed Gein. It stands out amongst the others.
Motel Hell was something else. I enjoyed this one a lot. It was more of a horror comedy type of movie. Really far out and I liked the characters. Farmer Vincent makes meats and plants tourtists in his garden. A friendly guy on first impression, he has some secrets hes hiding from the public concerning his meats. The fight at the end was great. and you cant forget that pig mask. That really freaked me out. This one shares a similar theme to Texas Chainsaw Massacre except double the dark comedy and humor. The ending is also quite funny. Recommended.
Description of Deranged/Motel Hell (Midnite Movies Double Feature)
Deranged: Ezra's good at making friends... into home furnishings! Based on the same terrifying story that inspired Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and The Silence of the Lambs, this hauntingly scary film chronicles the grisly exploits of a rural necrophiliac and murderer! Brace yourself for a "solid horror story" (Variety) that's guaranteed to make you bite your nails... because if you don't, Ezra will!Motel Hell: You really are what you eat with Farmer Vincent's smoked meat in this creepy horror yarn that "packs a punch and goes way beyond mere terror" (Box Office)! Vincent's popular products contain a special ingredient that the psychotic farmer and his sister would literally kill to keep secret in this darkly funny flick that "just might be your cup of meat" (L.A. Herald Examiner).
A double bill of rural schlock, with both entries gruesome but somewhat tongue-in-cheek. Deranged was inspired by the unsavory saga of Ed Gein, whose isolated madness oiled the gears of both Psycho and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. This is a low-rent production all the way, but its shabby locations have a certain eerie authenticity, and it benefits greatly from the casting of the reliable character actor Roberts Blossom--a scarecrow in the American Gothic mold--in the lead role. Now and again a somber but vaguely amusing narrator wanders into the frame to remind us that we are watching the tale of "a necromaniac, a defiler of the dead," as though we could forget. Serial-killer completists should check it out.
Motel Hell is slicker but less effective. Former Western star Rory Calhoun plays Farmer Vincent, a country hotel keeper (free samples of jerky at the front desk) whose line of smoked meats turns his customers into unwitting cannibals. The movie's got some genuinely creeped-out ideas (a backyard garden of victims, buried up to their necks?), but the execution is pedestrian and the humor pretty square. Onetime cultural icon Wolfman Jack has a few scenes as a TV preacher, for no apparent reason. --Robert Horton
