Night at the Eagle Inn

There are a lot of Haunted House/Hotel movies around.

I stumbled over this one by accident.

I think for the small budget and the Corona Lockdown Situation they made something good out of it.

It wasn't really surpsing and you have heard the story a lot of times, but i think, the acting was good and the atmosphere had it's peeks.

All in all it was a nice little movie that i enjoyed with my wife.

No gore that would have chased her away but enough creepy things to keep us watching.

Come to think of it , despite flaws in acting and direction, its not that bad. Just have to lower some expectations.

The twin brother though was over doing his part .

If this movie had a bigger budget , audience might have actually enjoyed it.

Decent little hotel horror movie, with some snarky dialog. I don't think the horror elements are especially original, kind of a mashup up of things from The Shining, Ringu, and Argento films. But it's well enough put together, particularly considering the budget, and it's only 70 minutes. (Seen at 2021 Popcorn Frights virtual debut.)

One true wisdome about close circuit hotel horror movies and that is you are going to hell anyway, either dead or alive outcome, you are deemed to go to hell, and thats what this story is about...

small cast, some nervous winks and oneeyed blinks in the main male actors face, that seemed so tensed at the set.female main a few notches better but no more than average, and thats for the hole cast.

Storyplot takes small pieces and bits from really good horror movies , but fails on the act and slow plot. Its 50 minutes of nada, and the rest is just a hint of a scary movie.if you picture up dantes inferno in 7 levels where 7 is the most hellish level , shells that you only can enter and never leap out of, this comes barely to the second level of frights and purgatorial wrath.

Waking up from a dream in a dream might be fun if done properly but this was not what the grumpy old man came for. A low budgie shot on a wholesale location and sets due to shutdown by covid, didnt make much difference. Better luck next time, and do mention the one eye blink flutter for your next cast.

That being said this movie was not horrible. I loved the brother and he was interesting enough to keep me invested in the movie. Aside from that nothing else was interesting about this movie. The story was just ok, not sure why they threw in that the sis was taking Modafinil (A medication to keep you awake due to narcolepsy). Details matter to me and it was never explained more on why they both kept drifting off like they did. This movie could have been half good at least but it just wasn't.
