This movie is very similar in crimes that happens in real life. This is a great true story a big advice for visitors that goes to unknown places, The dark true of hotels.

The basic plot of this film is solid. It feels almost like a Twilight Zone or Outer Limits episode. Unfortunately, the decent plot is foiled by amateur cinematography, poor sound, uncomfortably awkward dialog, and weak editing. 1. Cinematography looks like it was shot on a camcorder. Color grading is mismatched throughout the film. Several outdoor scenes have blown out highlights. There's also an awkwardly shot scene with the main character and the detective where the 180 degree rule is broken multiple times and it's jarring to say the least. 2. Lots of scenes are shot with noisy room dialogue. 3. The dialogue is not like natural speech. Characters deliver their lines with awkward pauses waiting for the next character to deliver their lines. Not at all like people really speak. 4. This film needs to be cut down by 30 to 45 minutes. Far too much dead time on the screen with nobody speaking.

Bottom line - good premise with bad execution.

Honestly the fact that it has a 5.5 at 19 thousand ratings is astounding to me. This movie does not deserve that high a rating. The acting was mediocre at best. They emoted somewhat, and at least hit their lines and marks. There is a bit of inteigue to draw you in but its just not worth it. The whole premise is easily figured out within the first 20 minutes, and then it just draws out what could have all been done in the span of half an hour.

Truthfully it fizzled out. There was lots of potential for this to have been a good movie but they just completely dropped the ball.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME!

Thought it had a great story line, was just spooky enough and kept me entertained the whole time. I enjoyed it.

I'm worried in time I might not be able to connect the film's title to the movie, and that would be a shame, because I really enjoyed this!

This low budget feature has a lot of merit. It's a good story, and very atmospheric, and rather creepy at times. There are also some very disturbing scenes. Gabe Fazio is undoubtedly the film's highlight! His performance is incredible. This guy gave his all for this film, and it shows. I felt his happiness, pain and agony, and he was able to convey so much with a simple facial expression. I mean, give him an Oscar already!!

Gabe Fazio stars as Billy Curtis, who returns to a place he remembers from when he was just six years old. Listen carefully to his dialogue, as it plays a big part later in the film and - if you listen very carefully - will explain the ending. Also take note of small details during the course of the film.

There's quite a bit here that has no payoff. Billy constantly complains about his girlfriend, Lisa, spending too much time texting. She also often "has to phone her mother", but it never contributes to the story in any way. In fact, for most parts I didn't really care for Lisa. Billy - or Gabe for that matter - stole the show in every scene. (Ok, but Augie Duke was good as Lisa - lets give credit where credit is due). Towards the end I felt so sorry for Billy - especially after the twist ending. I wonder if everyone will realize what had happened and what this ending actually means? As I said, you have to pay very close attention to what he says during the first act. I loved this film!
