I watched
Motel Hell last night and I have to agree with Repo'd and Toddallthingshorror. For me, it's good but it could have been better. It ends way too abruptly and I didn't like the characters Sheriff Bruce Smith or Terry. Nancy Parson and Rory Calhoun were great in the roles of Vincent and Ida Smith. I know
Motel Hell is a dark comedy, but it felt like a lot of it was contrived. There was good humor in the movie and it was played dry (which I liked), as opposed to
Scream Queens, which can be outrageous (but still funny).
