Uma Noite no Inferno

Quick moving story with a couple of truly scary moments. Loved the combo of old fashioned horror hotel with a more modern feel. Gregg Schweers was great as the innkeeper.

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.)

Fraternal twins Sarah Moss and Spencer Moss are following their missing father's footsteps. Their search leads them to the Eagle Inn in Vermont. Suspicion grows in the eerily quiet isolated hotel.

I like both Amelia Dudley and Taylor Turner. They actually look like brother and sister. The best is Dean. They all have a bit of creepiness. This is a creepy micro indie. There is something unsettling about the quietness of the hotel. Even the old TVs seem creepy. It's only 70 minutes. It probably needs another twenty minutes. The plot is a little thin. It needs another character, maybe a maid. It needs one more thing. I would make the father's disappearance more recent. It would allow for the possibility of finding him, and that would raise the tension. This is a good start.

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.

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.
