This is a real and honest review. A plot similar to this was done a few years ago in America but not in a hotel. It was some sort of factory or building with security guards. Then yet ANOTHER was filmed -- also in America -- featuring a police precinct that was about to close down and one cop had to watch it over night.
Both movies were VERY similar to this.
So the basic plot was rather familiar to me.
Like the other two movies, the action unfolds very slowly. That doesn't make it a bad movie. It's just not the normal slasher flick.
The main female character is supposed to be American but she both looks and periodically sounds Irish.
What id I like about this movie? I actually liked the slow exposition. It made it feel like a real story. I also like the fact that there was no contrived horror music in the back ground. So sick of that.
I'll admit the movie get a little goofy just after teh mid point, but by then I was too invested to not want to see how it turned out.
It definitely has a bit of a dumb ending however

Not So bad, as Some Said
Way too complicated and not scary enough.
I was not impressed. The premise of this obviously low budget horror flick is okay enough: young girl starts her new job as receptionist in a hotel with a nightshift and is during this night confronted with the ghosts of a terrible massacre that some time ago happened in the hotel, while being haunted by the killer (or is it his ghost?). It's not very original, there are countless comparable horror movies that have for instance old hospitals or asylums as the haunted location, but that doesn't have to be a problem if the clichés are dealt with in an inventive, original and qualitatively adequate way. Unfortunately that is not really the case here.
Biggest problem is the way too complicated story, with time-loops where the main character finds herself time and again in different states of reality in past or present, actuality or dream, situations that are as confusing to herself as to us viewers. This simply means that we never really know what the deuce is going on and that's why it's very hard to get really involved. It simply doesn't get scary enough. The acting of Ashleigh Dorrell and Matthew O'Brien by the way is fine, but worthy of a better cause than this.
Very good execution of a good thought out plot!
Absolutely surprising given the ratings some amateurs have left, don't trust its overall score, its a slow burner granted, but its a good plot, a good setting and the acting is good too! You can tell everyone involved was dedicated to this film. Definitely worth the watch.
