Southern hospitality turns deadly at a remote motel when insanity is unleashed one guest at a time.
MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE
Please do not disturb Evelyn. She already is.
After several years in an insane asylum, Evelyn, the keeper of the Mountaintop Motel, is released and resumes doing business. She kills her young charge out of anger, but convinces the police it was an accident - and pushed into insanity, she then proceeds to target her guests, first by releasing vermin into their rooms, but then by using her trusty sickle.
Proof that sometimes the 'do not disturb' sign just isn’t enough.
If you ever thought your last motel stay was bad, you haven’t checked in with Evelyn. Between vermin attacks and a sickle-happy proprietor, this backwoods horror delivers a low-budget blend of Southern Gothic menace and grindhouse kills courtesy of Anna Chappell's unhinged performance.
