In this film, a young man with an overbearing mother and a horrible secret runs the sort of motel you wouldn't want to check into. The film demanded a lot from audiences with its violence, its perverse portrayal of maternal love, and-strangest of all-the sudden, unexpected death of the character played by its biggest-name actress. The composer of the score was also known for making unusual demands on his employers, particularly in using unorthodox instrumentation rather than standard studio orchestras. For this film, he used only a small string ensemble to focus and intensity the film's stark brutality.
