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.
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.
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!...
But the lead actor was absolutely the worst. His tone was completely flat. He sounded exactly the same throughout the entire movie. Confusion, anger, love - every emotion was portrayed with the exact same tone and intonation. And who talks like this guy? I get that in written form it may have seemed fine, but the language was totally unnatural. People don't say "they are". They say "they're". How did nobody notice how labored his speech sounded? Is that how he talks in real life, or just when he's trying to act? Most of the other acting was okay (although none of it was particularly memorable), but the lead drove me nuts and made the movie totally unenjoyable.
I watched it in bits and pieces while doing midnight feedings with my newborn. I don't know that I would have been able to handle it beginning to end in one sitting. I'd say it's fine if you have a couple hours to kill, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch it.
