There's some to like, a lot to dislike
17 August 2020
First, the good: there are many similarities to The Shining. Call that a rip-off or an homage, but i'm going with the latter because it helps me feel more charitable. The mood is somewhat the same, and it takes place largely in a hotel, in which what may be spirits seem to help guide the lead into insanity. Or not.

Many people have commented on the lead. There may be parts that he was right for, but this isn't one of them. Part of the problem is that he was also the writer, which takes away one major voice who might have said to him "Have you thought about doing it another way?" Even then, the director should have been on top of him...but the lead was also the producer, and the director may have felt he couldn't question him.

The end is rushed and not particularly compelling or frightening.
