Shudder has finally found its footing as a legitimate streaming service for the horror set. So it’s always exciting to see what they’ve newly added to their catalog.
This month they have a few titles dropping into the search ribbon, including one we can’t wait to binge watch called Hell Motel. it cantains eight one-hour episodes, one released each week. The first two are available now. You will need a Shudder subscription.
It’s from the creators and showrunners of Slasher so expect lots of gore, bloody sound effects, and plot twists.
“With Hell Motel we take a good look in the mirror as both horror fans and horror creators, delving into the allure of a genre of storytelling as old as drama itself. But as any horror fan who’s ever uttered ‘Bloody Mary’ three times into a mirror knows, you’ve got to be careful what you wish for…,” said creators Martin and Carpenter.
And these two know horror. The series has many Easter eggs paying homage to classic movies of yore. It even gets a little meta.
“When a group of 10 true crime fans are invited to the opening of the newly renovated Cold River Motel, the site of an unsolved satanic mass murder, it becomes clear that they won’t all check out. Stream new bloody horror Hell Motel.”
Hell Motel stars: Eric McCormack, Icesis Couture (Canada’s Drag Race), Brynn Godenir, Michelle Nolden, Paula Brancati, Shaun Benson, Atticus Mitchell, Emmanuel Kabongo, Jim Watson, and Genevieve DeGraves.
