It is "Monday at 11:01 A. M." Charles and Lauren are on a road trip for a special occasion. They go through a tunnel to a town that attracts them. They plan to stay the night.
Soon strange things begin to happen and nothing adds up; is Charles going crazy or does it seem that some people know him for some reason?
The story is familiar and the tale has been told several times before. "Welcome to the Hotel California." - Eagles
There is no real mystery. The value of watching this movie is to see how it is executed. Do the actors do a good job and seem real? Does the plot twist enough so you will want to catch the details?
I found it fun to watch but nothing exceptional.
Everyone the pair encounters acts rather suspiciously, and a local bartender (Lance Henriksen) seems almost omniscient, and a bit too helpful.
Michael begins having what appear to be hallucinations, and believes that he and Jenny might be in the midst of a dark, occult conspiracy. Either that, or he's losing his mind.
PROS: This movie isn't a bad trip into the beyond. It's loaded with nightmare images and a paranoiac atmosphere. Henriksen is especially effective in his enigmatic role.
CONS: The problems with this movie are twofold: #1- It's length. The story feels padded out, and would be better suited as part of an anthology film, or as an episode of a show like THE TWILIGHT ZONE. #2- The finale is rushed. After the big build-up, it just doesn't end in an overly satisfying way.
Still, it's recommended for fans of Mr. Henriksen, since he's really good in it!...
Then it falls off quickly, as we get to know Micheal, a rich A-hole who takes his really hot girlfriend on a trip to a remote town in the mountains, and becomes haunted by events that happen in the hotel he's staying at in room 327. It seems like the idea of the picture is that he starts out like a jerk, and the more we get to know him the more we can relate to him and become sympathetic. That never happens for me. From beginning to end, I feel nothing for this guy. Everything is just too bland.
The only good spot was the legendary, Lance Henriksen. He was the only actor I recognized and it shows, cause his season thespian chops made the most basic lines come to life, at least in comparison to the other actors.
The movie's overall plot does grab you again by the end of the film. I thought how everything connected together was a brilliant Idea, but the character development did not hold my interest enough until the big reveal.
So it started off strong and ends good, but the in-between loosen whatever hold It had on me at the beginning of the film, making the end not worth the time.
I could see this script being picked up for a remake someday. It's certainly not a great film. But, it has potential. I didn't see this as your typical B-movie overall. It's just that the lead performance was far below the quality of the rest of the film IMO.
I can only imagine what the other actors thought of the film when watching it. What a shame.
