Ep2 - homage to Motel Hell?


This is actually pretty good. Ep2 felt like a homage to Motel Hell.

Yes, among other cannibal related movies.

What other movie influences did you recognize?

The entire series is a tribute to grindhouse films of the 70s and 80s,nd maybe some more recent releases as well. The cannibal diner is certainly reminiscent of Motel Hell, but also brings back memories of films like The Corpse Grinders.

Death Race 2000 is a huge influence.
And the Mad Max series.
C.H.U.D.
Crank.
The Devil's Rejects.
She Devils on Wheels.

It's an entertaining view for long-time schlock and horror fans. By the way, I suspect the name "D'Argento" is a nod to Dario Argento, noted horror director.
