Though there’s certainly some fun to be had with a gruesome horror/comedy that doesn’t pull punches in either genre, it delivers the goods only sporadically.

Reviews for Motel Hell
For an insanely silly drive-in horror-comedy with its tongue planted firmly in cheek, Motel Hell has it all.
It's meant to be weird, campy and funny but settles for being tasteless, gruesomely awkward and moronic.
