Don Malek (Stephen Geoffreys) is a professional screen writer and amateur surgeon and vigilante. In the opening scene he torture/kills his screen producer while having flashbacks to a woman. He shares his crime with his understanding agent (Tiffany Shepis) who didn't like the producer either. Don stays at a dive hotel in the high crime area of town for the ambiance of his writing.
Outside of the killing, Don is rather dull. Tiffany Shepis is a more animated character, but wasn't enough to carry the film. The movie ended at an interesting point, one that should have happened about 30 minutes into the film. The dullness of Don's character made the film slow and lifeless.
A low end rental at best. Released in 2010 as "New Terminal Hotel" now making its way around Redbox with a new title "Do Not Disturb."
Parental Guide: F-bomb, sex, nudity (Danielle Fortwangler, Tara Sukustis)

EVERYBODY HAS ONE
"B" Movie Uniquely done
The industry for what we know as "B" style format films has many that are ridiculously done. New Terminal Hotel "AKA" "Do Not Disturb" re-released in 2013 has a creative flare to it's style. The story was unique and fresh as a man whose fiancé was murdered looks to exact revenge in a abysmal manner. The style in which this film was shot gives it the edge. The acting is not horrible as it appears to be emotionally driven with a few of the actors.
The one flaw in my opinion is this film was a waste of Corey Haim's talent and he should not have been in it. Good writing, good character development but the editing was shaky and split in a few places. I give this a 4 out of 10
Not engaging
Don is a screenwriter who has been successful. He chooses to live in a seedy hotel where he gets intermittent visits from the foul-mouthed harridan who is his agent. He decides to brutally cut up a producer against whom he has a grudge. He similarly murders others. Eventually it ends.
Stephen Geoffreys (who player Evil Ed so engagingly in the original Fright Night) is now middle aged and not so engaging. Neither is this film, written and directed by a BC Furtney. It is slow, boring, and not very pleasant or entertaining.
I did not enjoy it and I do not recommend it.
