Warning: Spoilers
Ruthie Nodd (Gayle Rankin) inherits the Comphy Suites from her grandmother bypassing her mother (Molly Ringwald). Ruthie reluctantly spends some time at the empty hotel that has seen better times. She is there with her girlfriend Cal (Hari Nef). Another couple joins them. Fran (Annabelle Dexter-Jones) who we later discover has or had some cancer thing and she was once Ruthie's cheat on Cal. Cal is aware of it and they have moved on. Fran is joined by her girlfriend Maddie (Rad Pereira) who adds another person to the script. Brian (Jared Abrahamson) the handy man shows up. Ruthie tells him her mother is not there as it seems he has a thing going on with her. The girls settle in. Ruthie agrees to hear from a realtor even though the other girls in her party have big plans for the place. Odd things happen. Fran claims to see ghosts. Ruthie does not allow anyone on the third floor where her mother stayed because of a faucet leak. She is overly protective of that leak as things get weird.

The film has a good character introduction and a buildup to an ending that was a bit underwhelming. When using a chainsaw, one does not swing it like an axe. It has a good visual effect but so does spraying blood when using it like one should.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Bean-pole girls in bikinis.
