Nick Schager The Daily Beast A slasher saga that’s both an intriguing whodunit and a playful critique of the true-crime and entertainment industries’ hunger to exploit tragedy—a combination that begets humor, surprise, and at least a couple of instances of avert-the-eyes nastiness. Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Rendy Jones RogerEbert.com In the end, “Hell Motel’s” self-serious tone, plodding pace, and lack of a central lead keep this horror thriller series from living up to its potential as a worthwhile genre destination. Rated: 2/4 Jun 17, 2025 Full Review J. Kelly Nestruck Globe and Mail It’s solid self-aware Canadian genre TV that doesn’t pretend to be anything more that a bloody good time. Jun 12, 2025 Full Review Sarah Musnicky But Why Tho? A Geek Community Hell Motel is still a fun slasherfest. It frolics in the familiar, with twists and turns that keep viewers on their toes. While it’s not reinventing the standard, there’s enough for horror and mystery fans to enjoy. Rated: 7/10 Jun 17, 2025 Full Review Daniel Kurland Bloody Disgusting Hell Motel isn't mandatory viewing from Shudder’s vast streaming library. However, it’s dumb fun that’s made with unabashed passion for the genre and a playful ambition that isn’t afraid to push things a little too far once the bodies hit the floor. Rated: 3/5 Jun 16, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

G W Corny, cliche and convoluted. Didn't even make it though the first episode. As soon as Eric McCormack dropped that French accent I had to bail.
