Play Motel
The motel has a special room designed for sexual activities. It also has a habit of photographing sex act engines and extorting the parties concerned. One day a mysterious killer with black gloves up and the situation is changing.
Why it matters
A sleazy late-70s psycho-sexual thriller that blends voyeurism and slasher tropes into a neon-lit nightmare of paranoia and exploitation.
- An early example of the “killer in black gloves” motif that would become slasher shorthand just a few years later.
- Exploitation horror steeped in ’70s motel sleaze, with an unsettling focus on surveillance and blackmail before the digital age.
- Practical effects and gritty cinematography capture a grimy, claustrophobic atmosphere that screams regional grindhouse.
- Not for the faint-hearted — its blend of sexual content and violence lands unevenly, but fans of proto-slasher cinema and paranoid erotic horror will find a cult curiosity here.
