Like Blood Shack, this is another movie that features a character on the dvd cover art who isn't in the movie at all. They depict a wild-eyed psycho lady, but the killer in this movie is much more mild.

Damn, do I love the horror selection on Amazon Prime. This is a movie that's long been on my watchlist after having seen the Anchor Bay dvd advertised so regularly back in the day, but that misleading cover art made me a bit iffy. Frankly, the image of the woman trying to get through the door didn't do this movie any favors, so I'm glad that the actual movie wasn't like that.

This movie has a great aesthetic to it. It has a lot of autumnal imagery to it with the seasonal colored trees, almost like FleshEater in a way, and despite it's title of being on a mountain, this is actually more like a bayou junkheap setting with references to Louisiana. That imagery does wonders for what is sometimes a boring movie, but somewhat hypnotic at the same time.

A bunch of travelers stop at this grim motel as the rainy night gives them a reason, and the psycho old lady with a history of mental illness sneaks into their rooms through trap doors, putting snakes, rats, and roaches in there before she starts picking them off with a sickle.

Underneath that trap door is a series of tunnels that bears a strong resemblance to the lair of Madman Marz. The film itself almost shares the cheesy yet nightmarish quality of that film. This would be a great movie to get high and zone out to.
