The Haunted Hotel

I thoroughly enjoyed this very odd film, it's very unusual, almost unique, definitely not your typical horror movie, some great segments though, particularly the segment featuring Tim and his wife, and the one which featured Maisy as The Hotel Maid.

It's very atmospheric, very nicely made, and definitely well acted, High Fraser in particular was fantastic.

Was it scary? Definitely not, so if you're after thrills and scares, this may not be for you, however if you're looking for suspense and mystery, you may well enjoy this curio.

Very watchable, 8/10.

This compendium might only prove that using eight directors, eight writers, and four editors produces a result that doesn't hold together very well. Some of the segments are quite atmospheric but none are scary or even chilling in the least. This is the kind of "horror" movies that you can't show your kids because they will leave the room rolling their eyes and making fun of you. Only one segment was really scary and that was due to the 1960s wallpaper.

Great atmosphere, terrific setting and spooky fun. I love the bite-size segments that covered a range of different horror styles. Entertaining from beginning to end. I thoroughly enjoyed it!

I enjoyed this collection of short films. They aren't overly dark or cynical. The stories aren't necessarily scary but they do range from being fun, to poignant to creepy. "The Writer" and "40 Years" were my favorites. Overall, the acting is consistent with the overall tone and "spirit" of the films. What I found impressive is that each film took place during a different time period but within the same location; the lighting, production design and costumes all tied the different time periods together nicely while grounding them all within the hotel. I definitely recommend this to viewers who enjoy a good-natured spooky film.

Honestly not bad, for it's budget restraints this 8 horror-Short cereal could of been so much worse but its more then decent. Sure, the first story doesn't really do much. Is it cleverly written? Sure, but it doesn't do much other then be cleverly written and have good set design. So if your completely taken out by that one short then that's understandable, but despite a slow start it gets better.

I love Story 2. The set designs are immaculate and very interesting. A man remembering his wife and having a dance with her is definitely touching. And I'm guessing she's past away.

I also really enjoyed Story 3 for adding some Supernatural elements to the movie/Anthology. The plot twist is definitely creepy.

Another story which I enjoyed was the one with Maisy, and her trying to please the owner. And having to clean up despite the weird occurrences.

Sure the Anthology isn't amazing, but it's an easy watch. Is it scary? Not particularly no, has it been done before and been done before? Yes is the awnser. But it's different, and if given the chance. Some may enjoy it more. It's very Entertaining and clever in the way it's presented. Each story has a segment. And some stories will be better then others. With unexpected plot-twists. And some stories feel like there in a conological order. The end of one of the stories was the start of the 5th story.

The scariest is probably the fifth story, because it's got the creepy man. And has a great plot-twist. It's an entertaining episode, with being a short story. I like the simplicity of it. Honestly, it's more then acceptable. Now time for my verdict.

Verdict,

6/10 Solid.
