'Mountaintop Motel Massacre' (1986) - Jim McCullough Sr.

For me, Jim McCullough Sr's eccentric, menacingly bleak 'Mountaintop Motel Massacre' remains one of the more diabolically venomous 80s backwoods slashers. Luridly overladen with doomy occult overtones, its audaciously macabre,compellingly strange narrative, eerily exposes the morbidly mental ministrations of frightfully inhospitable Motel matriarch, Evelyn (Anna Chappell). The delightfully bonkers 'Mountaintop Motel Massacre' vividly retains much of its macabre atmosphere of skin crawling dread. A manifestly underappreciated, frequently unsettling, spleen-churningly sinister, scythe-slashingly sanguineous slasher classic! And I think it's nigh overdue to give the righteous performance of laconic, Major Brock some belated praise, as his bone dry delivery of 'They should call this the Roach Motel' is absolutely delicious!
