Motel Hell review

Anton van Beek  |  Aug 15, 2013

It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent's tasty fritters...

Arrow Video unearths another gem from the MGM catalogue in the form of Kevin Connor's horror-comedy about farmer Vincent Smith and his 'special' smoked meats. Given the miserable treatment Motel Hell received on DVD in the past, this Blu-ray's colourful AVC 1.85:1 encode is a revelation. The accompanying LPCM 2.0 soundtrack is less immediately exciting, but is a fine reproduction of the source elements. As usual Arrow has also cooked up some fantastic supplementary features including a commentary by the director, interviews and a look at what makes a great female horror baddie.

Motel Hell, Arrow Video, Region B BD/R2 DVD, £20 Approx
HCC VERDICT: 4/5
