Dante's Hotel

What do you get when you combine a totally ridiculous screenplay, an inept director, a cast with no acting talent whatsoever and an editor who has no clue how to assemble a scene? Yep, this horrible mess. They even left in flubbed lines, apparently not even noticing. The filmmakers violate the "rules" they established and good luck trying to follow the story line.

Several times I considered just backing out, but I wanted to see how much worse it could get. I wasn't disappointed. I wish IMDB would allow a negative number.

One good thing - the "actress" who stood next to the DJ at the party seemed to be able to throw her arms into the air for four hours straight. Impressive.

I wasn't expecting much from 'A Tubi original', but I was pleasantly surprised.

The pacing was tight, it was eminently watchable and the ending (if a bit predictable) didn't detract from the overall impact, as I had earlier feared it might.

Some of the FX were a bit dodgy, but others were fine. It's a bit like they had a time limit in which to film and couldn't miss deadlines, so couldn't go back.

Judd Nelson was the best actor, but some of the other acting was indifferent.

Overall, however, I didn't pause and go to Youtube once, as I often do if a film was dragging.

As I said I was pleasantly surprised and entertained for a low budget movie.

Worth a watch.

I was not familiar with this 2023 horror movie from Tubi and The Asylum. But with it being a horror movie that I hadn't already seen, of course I opted to give the movie a fair chance, as I happened to stumble upon it here in 2025.

Initially I have to say that the fact that it was a Tubi movie didn't exactly have me harboring the biggest of expectations. But I will say that writers Anthony C. Ferrante and William C. Martell actually put together a fair enough script and storyline. Sure, it wasn't exactly a revolutionary script in terms of horror movies go, but it was definitely entertaining enough for what it turned out to be.

Something that did impress me about "Dante's Hotel" was the cast ensemble. There were a lot of familiar faces on the cast list, with the likes of Moon Bloodgood, Ted Raimi, Judd Nelson, Ken Davitian and Emilio Rivera. It should be noted that the acting performances in the movie were fair.

The effects in the movie were actually good, and that certainly helped adding to the overall enjoyment of the movie.

All in all, "Dante's Hotel" was a surprise of a movie. And it is one that I would actually recommend, if you enjoy a good old fashioned supernatural horror movie.

My rating of director Anthony C. Ferrante's 2023 horror movie "Dante's Hotel" lands on a six out of ten stars.

Don't know why people have given this a poor rating. OK it's not a great horror film, but it is an easy watch and quite fun too.

The acting is good, and there are a few familiar faces from other productions people may have seen.

The story isn't bad either and makes a change from the usual 'teen' horrors and 'cabin in the woods' type of rubbish being churned out nowadays.

It's free to watch on Tubi too.

Certainly not the greatest quality movie. There were a number of editing errors and line mistakes by actors. It could have almost moved to comedy/horror due to the actual concept of the movie.

It was a joy to see Judd Nelson on screen again and his quirky character was probably the most quality performance in the whole movie.

The character and setting development was a high point. Who doesn't love a good old haunted hotel kind of movie and the back story on the main characters kept me watching.

A really great story which could have been better done with a higher budget I'm sure. A good watch if there is nothing else on and you love the horror genre.
