New Terminal Hotel

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

Well, this was a dark movie populated with despicable characters.

I suppose this is a tale of revenge, punctuated by someone who completely loses his way. Don (Stephen Geoffreys) is a Hollywood screenwriter, holed up in a seedy apartment, where various people bang on his door, as well as come to visit (never to see the light of day again). One is his agent (Tiffany Shepis), who has been after his "comeback" script for 2 years. But all isn't right with Don. Or with anyone else, really.

Lots of strong characters in this, each one more rotten than the last. Overall, a fairly unpleasant experience, with a real uneasy score setting the tone. But this was certainly interesting enough to stick with, right up to its grim conclusion.

Tiffany Shepis does NOT get naked in this! (other ladies pick up the slack, however). Actually, I thought Shepis' performance was the strongest one in the whole movie, as Don's hard-headed, no-nonsense, AND morally corrupt film agent.

Ever since, or perhaps even before, 1960 classic 'Psycho' extolled the horrific virtues of a motel as a venue for horror, the home-from-home has proven an effective place in which terrifying, sometimes unworldly things can happen.

Eccentric writer Don Malek (a terrific performance from Stephen Geoffreys), is torturing his boss in a bathtub filled with ice cubes. It's as good an introduction as any, especially in an off-kilter film like this. We're given no clue as to why this is going on. Director BC Fourteen is in no hurry to reassure us with anything so mundane as an explanation. Malek feels the hotel surroundings will be beneficial to his writing.

Fourteen's style is to people this picture with a variety of acerbic, curious characters, none of whom offer any reassurance, and none of whom are keen to endear themselves to the audience. Thus what we are left with are the stained walls of the hotel, the strained relationships. As Malek leaves the cocoon of the awful residence, he comes across Jasper Crash (a brief cameo from Corey Hiam), another very odd addition to the cast, complete with a dreadful English accent.

Not an easy watch in places, the weirdness of it all provides a palpably eccentric atmosphere for Malek and his murky motives. If it fails to grab you immediately, stick with it. My score is 7 out of 10.

Very poor. A waste of classic 80s cult actors Corey Haim & Stephen Geoffreys. Even with a small budget of 500G they surely could have afforded a few more locations than mainly one room considering the story line definitely was holding up the film. It's no 1408 so spread it around! If it wasn't for the name of the film, you wouldn't even know it's meant to be a hotel/motel. Story line is basically nothingness...no twists or character development...guy kills a few people he ethically believes deserves it sometimes unexplicably wearing a mask and sometimes not and the fact the guy was a writer had no relevance even though they mention that a lot. Finnally no logic to Corey Haim having what I think was meant to be a British accent. Love Corey Haim (rip) but weird accent not a good direction from well...the director. Spoilers...I have none..because there is nothing to spoil. The blurb you see written next to the film title...that's basically it. As the gang in "Friends" said to Joey after watching his "Mac&Cheese" TV show......eh....the Lighting was really good.

There should be an extra tax for abysmal theatrical productions. This was a wretched waste of time. My senses want to be compensated for the time spent on this.

Since there is a requirement for how long a review should be I decided to think if there was any good walk aways from this flic. I guess the fact that it started off a bit confusing but with enough plot development that it kept my attention long enough to watch more was a promising thing. But soon after I realized that I was only sticking around for disappointment. Others may find this as something interesting or entertaining enough with which to pass the time. Unfortunately, I am not one of them.
