Horror Hotel: The Movie

I've watch a lot of bad movies in my time but this is the worst! If I could have given 0/10 I would. Avoid at all cost! Bad acting, bad writing, only decent thing was the filmtography.

Admittedly, I'm an easy mark for clever, shrewdly-made suspense vignettes like what we're given with "Horror Hotel The Movie." Having grown up with an annual Twilight Zone Marathon televised on Los Angeles channel KTLA, I ate up Rod Serling's stuff three square for 24 hours at a pop (pre-"binge watching"). If you share in those same kind of surrealist, twisted delights, Horror Hotel The Movie is going to be right in the middle of the fairway for you. This isn't major studio gloss: Instead, terrifically thoughtful and ideas-driven writing partner with rock-steady acting to provide the baseline production value, which is further bolstered by a timely and stand-out score. The perfect synthesis of independently-minded indie and mind-tripping sci fi, Horror Hotel The Movie is rock-solid though and through!

I realise in these strange times with the corona virus demanding that many of us stay in doors, there is still no reason to endure this utterly horrendous 'film'.

A campy fun ride that doesn't take itself too seriously. I was expecting a bloody slasher movie but instead I found an anthology of short films centered around this funky nasty hotel. Does this place really exist? What a great set! My favorites were "Coma Girl" "The Problem with Clones" and "Life After Men." The musical score is great! If I have any criticism its that some of the stories ended too soon. I wanted to see more. But that's the nature of a short I suppose. I've just added Ricky Hess to my short list of people whose work I need to follow. It's really difficult to write an adequate review without giving up any spoilers so let me just leave it at this, "It's a good ride and I liked it!

American horror story meets twins peak "the return", in this fascinating collection of Sci-fi/Horror/Comedy, and odd tales. Some of the themes are dark, spicy and creepy, but overall very enjoyable. It is worth to mention the creative and stylistic storytelling, accompanied with a superb score and a pretty cinematography. Everyone should watch this!

Anthology feature films are quite rare these days, and this one - with its large ensemble and creepy hotel setting, is a winner. Sure, the film's plotting at times is a bit muddled, and the characters a tad repetitive. But you can't fault the cast and crew behind 'Horror Hotel' for attempting to put together something unusual, fun and retro. With its constant progressing from one situation to the other, with a very particular nighttime setting, and eerie motifs, it reminded me of 'Night on Earth' (1991, Dir. Jim Jarmusch) and 'The Company of Wolves' (1984, Dir Neil Jordan).

I really dig this film. I set upon it without ever seeing a trailer, synopsis, or review - incredibly pleasantly surprised. I found the direction served the genre incredibly well, deft, crisp and consistent throughout. A very campy, stylized Twilight Zone-ish feel. I found all the stories intriguing with interesting twists. I certainly had some favs over others, but overall very clever writing, well acted, and the production value was well calculated on a low budget scale. I look forward to more from this team. They've created a piece that certainly has a stamp and voice and is not common or humdrum.
