What is the series all about?
The trailer for Hell Motel is available on the official Shudder YouTube channel. The clip begins with a couple checking into the Cold River Motel. Thirty years ago, a series of murders took place at the motel, which remain unsolved to this day.
The audience gets a glimpse of the killer, who wears a horned mask and a black outfit. Fast forward to present day, a group of ten true crime obsessives are invited to the newly renovated Cold River Motel. Their guide shows them around to all the different sites where different murders took place.
While they are asleep, the masked murderer reappears and kills one of them brutally with a knife, as the roommate's loud scream wakes everyone up. The group start brainstorming over who it might be, as they believe the killer has either returned or they have a copycat amongst them. Paige, out of fear, requests a check-out from the motel before the night gets any worse for them.
The clip then proceeds to show a montage of gory murders by the mystery slasher as the group tries to save themselves while also figuring out a way to stop it.
