MARCH 14 VHS MOVIE REVIEW : MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE (1983)
Here's a regional film that is best remembered for it's tag line ("Please do not disturb Evelyn. She ALREADY is.") than for the actual film itself and rightly so because the film is a slow gender-reversal rip-off of PSYCHO. Evelyn (Anna Chappell) is a former state mental patient who may be ready for the rubber room again. We first meet Evelyn as she is chopping up a little bunny rabbit that has invaded her garden. She then slices up her daughter's neck with a sickle after catching her performing witchcraft in the basement. She covers up the murder to make it look like an accident and gets away with it, although the Sheriff (James Bradford) is suspicious. She then resumes her duties as the owner/operator of the Mountainside Motel, and out-of-the-way dive in the Louisiana backwoods. Evelyn hears voices telling her that people know she is crazy which leads her to torment and kill the occupants that are unlucky enough to be spending the night at her run-down establishment. The residents at the motel are the standard horror film stereotypes: A newlywed couple; a couple of female cousins who are country singer wannabes; Reverend Bill (horror film vet Bill Thurman), a preacher with an alcohol problem; a businessman named Al (Will Mitchell) who happens to be a record producer (or is he?); and Crenshaw (Major Brock), an out of work carpenter who can still swing a mean hammer. Using the secret underground passageways that connect all the rooms, Evelyn begins dispatching the roomers, first antagonizing them with snakes, rats and roaches and then going full-bore bonkers, using her sickle to kill everyone that crosses her path. In one stormy night, Evelyn throws away all that good psychiatric care she received to satisfy those pesky voices in her head. Al and Crenshaw band together to get Evelyn before she gets them, but Crenshaw ends up losing a hand (then his life) before Evelyn loses her head in a fight with the Sheriff, who has come to save the day. Not much in the way of entertainment here, unless your idea of fun is bad acting and cheap gore effects. Father/son team of Jim McCullough (director & producer) and Jim McCullough Jr. (screenwriter & co-producer) had been churning out cheap regional films in many genres throughout the 70's and 80's, including CHARGE OF THE MODEL T'S (1976), THE AURORA ENCOUNTER (1985) and VIDEO MURDERS (1987), none of them very good. The film moves at an extremely slow pace as it takes nearly an hour for the first murder to take place. In copying PSYCHO, Evelyn's abode is full of taxidermied animals and the entire night of carnage takes place during a rainstorm. Unlike PSYCHO, there is zero suspense. The gore is basically all sickle-related as we see it planted in a chest, through someone's cheeks (upper not lower), some neck slashings and other body parts affected by it. I'm almost ashamed to say that I saw this when New World Pictures gave it a theatrical release in 1986 (and then released it a month later on VHS, those bastards!). My opinion still hasn't changed. It's pretty bad. Also starring Virginia Loridans, Amy Hill, Marian Jones, Greg Brazzel and Jill King. An Anchor Bay Entertainment Release which is available alone or as a double feature (with THE INITIATION - 1983) on DVD. Rated R. { text from critcononline.com }
