Lorri lives out in the woods, far away from civilization, in a filthy shack adjacent to the Mountaintop Motel. Surrounded by broken toy dolls and all kinds of creatures, the young thing seems to be spiritually inclined. When her mentally disturbed mother catches her trying to make contact with the spirits of the afterlife, she accidentally kills her child with a sickle during a fit of rage. The traumatic experience is not without consequences - especially for the guests of the motel, whom the crazy woman is now hunting. No one is safe in life at the Mountaintop Motel anymore. MOTEL MASSACRE aka MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE, distributed by ROGER CORMAN at the time, is a reasonably priced but very atmospheric backwood slasher that is in many ways different from the conventional contributions of the popular subgenre.
