Just perfect...
hyped garbage
All that we are seeing on the screen is happening with real people, real action sequences in the background, forcing the eye to watch as if we were there.
A collection of mini-movies that are outrageous tongue-in-cheek sendups of horror movies. There is some broad comic appeal and some recurring cast members do their best to provide energy and entertainment. I have actually stayed at a couple of Motel 6s that would give Horror Hotel a run for its money.
Campy horror hoot that makes ingenious use of its title location. Kind of The Twilight Zone meets Four Rooms. Acting, lighting, music score and scripting are all first-rate. An added bonus that it provides so many strong roles for women, several of whom appear in multiple segments. Six-part anthology starts off with a bang with the sexy send- up Aliens Stole My Boyfriend and closes with personal favorite Life After Men featuring a standout performance by a beautiful, expressive actress named Erin Ownbey. All the segments have their moments. Looking forward to watching more of the web series.
I got this for 2 reasons- I LOVE horror anthologies and I love horror movies that take place in a crappy small motel. The premise was there and I suppose these people have a following that I was unaware of before getting this movie (hence the extra star- oh and I liked maybe one of the stories) but this movie is campy to the point of extreme. It should actually be called a comedy and not a horror movie as, although it is a horror-comedy, it leans much more towards the comedy genre and the acting is complete crap!
This movie had a great musical score and tight editing. It reminded me of the Twilight Zone type short stories. Also similar to the old "Tales from the Darkside" that were on TV in the early 80's. The stories were not really horror in the traditional sense like slasher blood style movies. The stories we more like light and fun B movies of the 60's and 70's. It was more like a collection of short storied of sci-fiction/mystery/other-worldly genres. My favourite was "Life After Men. Performances were OK. The style was good for the type of film as well. Looking forward to seeing more from this director.
