Trapped Inn

I've watched some really bad slasher movies / low budget craps but this one is by far one of the worst. Ever. Started watching it coz I recognized Matt Rife but I quickly regretted my decision. The movie is soooooo slow moving and I found it very difficult to sit through it even though I was browsing on my phone while it was playing on the TV. Yes, It's that bad.

At some point in the movie Matt asks "What's the point of everything? What's the point of life?". If I could, I would ask the same question to him and the rest of the crew. "What's the point of this movie?"

There is no story. The acting is terrible. The ending is terrible. The dialogues are weak. The scenes are pointless. Not even worth playing in the background while working. You've been warned.

Sure, I had never heard about "Trapped Inn" prior to sitting down and watching it here in 2025. And the movie's cover was actually interesting enough to make me stop and give it a gander. But that was a mistake on my account.

The storyline in the movie was insanely slow paced, sluggish and downright boring and pointless. I zoned out about 15 minutes into the movie, and tossed the towel in the ring at the 37 minute marker. I just couldn't take anymore of the boredom that writer and director Leah Sturgis had conjured up for this dumpster fire of a movie. Was there a point to this 2024 sci-fi thriller from writer and director Leah Sturgis? I doubt it. Or at least I failed to see it, and the movie was far from being even remotely entertaining. In fact, "Trapped Inn" was a swing and a miss of a movie.

I was not familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is usually something I do enjoy when I sit down to watch a movie. But the actors and actresses on the cast list in "Trapped Inn" virtually stood a snowballs chance in Hell, as they had absolutely nothing wholesome to work with.

"Trapped Inn" is definitely one of the worst movies I've stumbled upon in a long, long time. Sure, the production value was fair enough, but the total lack of script, character gallery and just general entertainment ensured that this stinker sank quicker than a cannon ball in water.

Don't waste your time, money or effort on "Trapped Inn". It just simply isn't worth the time of day.

My rating of writer and director Leah Sturgis's travesty of a sci-fi thriller lands on a generous one out of ten stars.

I wasn't going to post a review for this abysmally awful "movie" but then I noticed all the ridiculous glowing reviews posted by either cast or crew or the family/friends of the cast or crew. One thing I can't stand is people like that trying to artificially boost the rating of a movie to trick people into watching their garbage.

This "movie" is awful in every aspect and I wouldn't be surprised if the writer was extremely young and immature.

Whoever green-lit this movie and paid for it to be made should be ashamed of themselves. I don't really need to go into details of why it's so bad because many others here have already done it.

This is my very first time writing a review for a movie because I am SHOCKED that someone made this movie in 2024 and most importantly... spend money on it. The acting is horrible, the story is worse and the graphics... I could of created better on my laptop. If you like to enjoy your time watching movies, skip this one unless you are like me and will watch anything... usually give it 20 minutes and then turn it off. With Matt Rife in it... I kept giving it a chance. I yelled at the screen so many times and the last shot... oh my.... just forward to that if ou want to confirm this review. I have to go wash my eyes out.

Seriously, who green-lit this abomination? It had more financing than I'd expect from a student film... so, someone put a bit of money into it.

It doesn't even rise to the level of mediocre... it plays like a teenaged boy's fantasy of what make a "great" film. A lot of shots doing nothing more than fluffing the film's time run. Hot girls, pretty boys, dancing and drinking... before the "plot" comes in. Well, what passes for a plot at least.

The acting is bad overall... absolutely horrific in parts. The only thing consistently worse is the story and the directing. Just when you think it cannot possibly get any worse, they throw in the "twist"! Again, like a teenaged boy thinking up the "perfect" twist to add.

I wish that was all. Unfortunately, the film keeps going after the plot twist... and manages to get even more ridiculous with the final shots.

I'm sure everyone that took part came on and rated it a 10. I've given one or two "spite" reviews of 1 star; this is the first that I've ever given because it was REALLY that bad!
