“Meat’s meat and man’s gotta eat!” If it weren’t for the admittedly awesome & iconic garden of hissing, gurgling, burlap-sack-covered heads, I feel like this one would get a lot more flack; sure, Rory Calhoun hams it up to high heaven and the pig head chainsaw duel rocks…
Matt!Aug 20, 2019Loaded with dark comedy satirical vibes, this human harvested meat, maniac farmer motel murder jam rides that line of taking itself seriously and never slipping deeply into camp—mutating that backwoods nightmare Texas Chain Saw Massacre meets Psycho framework with a very…
Ian WestApr 6, 2026Schlocky 80’s horror is my ultimate comfort genre. I honestly couldn’t hate it if i used 100 perfect of my willpower. The sheer amount of unique spins and happy accidents that came out of low-budget horror productions across the 70’s & 80’s are a blessing to B-movie nerds…

It has been a long time since I have seen this one and it is still awesome as ever! An absolute cult classic! With Nancy Parsons known as the evil Ms Balbricker from the Porky’s, Wolfman Jack from the Midnight Special and Cliff Clavin from Cheers is butchered to be made…
DyrnottAug 12, 2024"It takes all kinds of critters to make Farmer Vincent Fritters!" Motel owners and part time sausage farmers Vincent Smith and psycho sister Ida Smith have got themselves a rather novel way of sourcing their famous meats if you know what I mean? "Edith where's the…
VIVE_le_FILTHFeb 25, 2023#SlasherSaturday This was not at all what I expected….in the best way possible. Farmer Vincent’s fritters (chef’s kiss) 🤌🏼. I honestly died at I used preservatives. 💀💀 Really fun watch and great pick, Grindul. Degrees of Kevin Bacon: 1 1. John Ratzenberger and Kevin…

I recently watched Space Truckers and saw George Wendt get sucked into space. Then I watched Motel Hell and ran into John Ratzenberger. So naturally, my brain decided Norm and Cliff had some catching up to do: ⸻ Norm: “I’ll tell ya, Cliff, one minute I’m hauling cargo,…
R̴o̷͗b̶̺ L̴e̷ͅe’̴͓s̶̍ R̷a̴ͅw̱ Blog͗ 📼🩸Oct 1, 2021The time has come! While many have decided to hoop around this October, I myself prefer the spooks. We'll travel deep into the depths of the 80s decade. It will include some classics, but it will mostly be unknown, schlocky, and indies I hadn't heard of until a few weeks…
Rafael "Mister Movie" JovineDec 27, 2017It’s so nice of Letterboxd to start working again after crashing on me all damn day! So nice! (yes, that’s meant to be read in a bitchy sarcastic tone) Anyway, this darkly comedic horror film about a farmer/hotel owner who kidnaps guests to use in his special meat…

This movie is fantastic. It has a great sense of humor, great 🎼, a unique take on hillbilly cannibals, and a great comedic pairing of villains in Ida and Vincent. They play off each other perfectly. This is an underrated must-watch. Only downside is that it’s a wee bit too long
Fun schlock with a great lead antagonist, though the protagonist herself leaves some to be desired. The film seems to waste some of its’ time showing things that we already know about in the first half, but seems to dial in in the second half. Pretty fun overall

Classic 80s horror, a little boring but there is a chainsaw fight scene so there's that.
Fun B movie horror. Simple and enjoyable. A good plot and fun story.
