IMDB link: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1594562/
Starring: Kelly McGillis and 2 actors that look familiar but I’ll probably never see again.
Review in a nutshell: This movie was slooooooooooooooooooooooow with very little in the way of ghosts until the end. And then too much too fast with an extremely unsatisfying ending. In general I like the idea of a scary comedy where two employees at a hotel try to find evidence of a haunting, and get more than they want. But I wanted more laughs and more scary, and for it to be balanced out.
Where I found it: Netflix
How much I paid for it: 101 minutes of my life
Points of interest: The film takes place in a hotel with the same name as the hotel it was shot in, which may or may not be haunted. I didn’t care enough to research it further.
The Money Shot: Of all the scares in the movie my favorite one is at the beginning, where the guy shows his coworker one those fake ghost videos where you stare at it waiting for something to happen and a zombie pops up and scares the crap out of you.
I love bad movies. LOVE them. I have several definitions of bad, but it all comes down to “bad on purpose” and “bad by accident”.
I will watch it if:
it can be described as science fiction, fantasy, or horror (Sometimes I will watch action comedy but these are less likely.)
it is described as a mystery or thriller and a serial killer is mentioned in the description.
it has less than three stars on Netflix
the cast includes Ron Perlman, Rutger Hauer, Henry Rollins, Bill Mosely, Bruce Campbell, Clancy Brown or Malcolm McDowell
Lovecraft, Cthulu or Dragons are mentioned in the title, tag line or box art.
