Lucy (Linda Eicher) and Jeffrey (Pat Turner) are a charming elderly
couple who run a motel in the middle of nowhere - untill they're brutally
murdered by Bianca (Gianna Lutz) and Zeke (Adam Kitchen), two escapees
from a nearby insane asylum. Bianca and Zeke then decide that rather than
keep on running they'd stay a while and use the hotel as a mouse trap for
future victims. And the mice arrive soon, all young people with a knack
for partying, like gay couple Brett (Antonio Neville) and Marcus (Hondo
Tey), horny couple Stacey (Arianna Camacho Mcpike) and Blake (Brady Box),
and sincere couple with relationship problems Erica (Abby Anderson) and
Dylan (Chase Walker). And once the rooms are well filled up, Bianca and
Zeke have no issues catching one or the other of their guests alone to
slaughter them in inventive ways. And when our tourists start to realize
what's going on, it might already be much too late ...
Sure, this movie is formulaic as can be, down to the point
that it's easy to pinpoint who will be the final girl - but it's also so
much fun! Now generally speaking, slashers are a dime a dozen and are not
exactly my favourite genre, but this one gets it right: This is no post
modernist re-interpretation or oh-so-clever parody of the genre, instead a
nice throwback to the grindhouse days before slashers became mainstream.
And it's got all the right ingredients for a nice horror trip, from
suspense sequences to jump scares and outbursts of violence and cruelty.
And two genuinely creepy villains of course also help to make this one an
indie slasher as cool as they come.
