After she discovers the young girl practicing witchcraft, Evelyn accidentally kills her in a fit of rage, snaps, and goes on a rampage, murdering the motel&#8217;s patrons with poisonous snakes and other instruments of death. This strange slasher has good atmosphere (its rainstorm-night setting and camp-like cabins remind of <em>Friday the 13th<\/em>) and likable characters, and although Evelyn is just a Norman Bates clone, Chappell sells it with a subtle performance. <em>Mountaintop<\/em> might be too slowly paced for some, but this is decent stuff and not the cheap exploitation flick its title would suggest. <strong>B<\/strong>     <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/toolbox.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-10033\" style=\"width:416px;height:261px\" width=\"416\" height=\"261\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/toolbox.jpeg 670w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/toolbox-300x188.jpeg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 416px) 100vw, 416px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>THE TOOLBOX MURDERS<\/strong> <em>(1978)<\/em> A seminal piece of sleazy &#8217;70s exploitation, this cheap quickie features a Los Angeles apartment complex targeted by a sadistic murderer who uses hammers, screwdrivers, and nail guns to kill his mostly female victims. When the police don&#8217;t take a teenage girl&#8217;s disappearance seriously, her older brother (Nicolas Beauvy), who believes she was kidnapped by the killer, takes it upon himself to find her. As with most slasher movies that carry notoriety, <em>Toolbox Murders<\/em> is better than its reputation suggests, but that&#8217;s not to say it&#8217;s <em>good<\/em>, either; the story is hackneyed and the middle half drags considerably. But, it&#8217;s watchable hokum, contains a wacky performance by Cameron Mitchell, and features a fairly taut final 10 minutes. <strong>C<\/strong>+<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/intruder-best-horror-movie-you-never-saw-featured-1280x720-1-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9985\" style=\"width:421px;height:237px\" width=\"421\" height=\"237\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/intruder-best-horror-movie-you-never-saw-featured-1280x720-1-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/intruder-best-horror-movie-you-never-saw-featured-1280x720-1-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/intruder-best-horror-movie-you-never-saw-featured-1280x720-1-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/mattshorroraddiction.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/intruder-best-horror-movie-you-never-saw-featured-1280x720-1.jpeg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 421px) 100vw, 421px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p><strong>INTRUDER<\/strong> <em>(1989)<\/em> A great bookend to the 1980s slasher cycle, this energized splatterfest is written by Tarantino&#8217;s future producer, Lawrence Bender. Closing time for a rowdy group of supermarket employees turns into a nightmare when a madman breaks in and begins hacking them to pieces. Is the culprit the obsessed ex-boyfriend of cute cashier, Jennifer (Elizabeth Cox), who earlier made threats against several of her coworkers? Although the plot is routine and textbook of the subgenre, <em>Intruder<\/em> fires on most cylinders because of an excellent cast, punchy characters, and terrific direction by Scott Spiegel (co-writer of <em>Evil Dead II<\/em>). While slow to start, this picks up speed and tension, skillfully structured to build to a slam-bang finale pitting Final Girl Jennifer against the maniac. A worthy entry in the late &#8217;80s slasher cannon and featuring some superb KNB FX work. <strong>B<\/strong>+ <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>MOUNTAINTOP MOTEL MASSACRE (1983) Crazy old Evelyn (Anna Chappell), recently released from an institution, is trying to live a normal life with her teen daughter deep within the Louisiana bayou at the Mountaintop Motel.
