    Creative kills and an eclectic cast of characters can’t save the show from eventually feeling repetitive. Its pattern of “whodunit” arguments between survivors punctured by scenes of violence grows stale after four or five episodes – which is a pretty big problem, considering Hell Motel is eight episodes long.

    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.
