The Haunted Hotel feels like an unabashed reminiscence of my childhood. I’m sure a lot of us have watched cringe-worthy Bollywood horror movies from the 2010s, but never had I thought I’d be coming across something so embarrassingly similar ever again.

What’s The Story About?
Set in Semarang, Indonesia, in 1981, Ningrum is a hotel staff, who, while working her shift, hears the sounds of someone sobbing on the third floor.

Sasha’s father has just died and as the last of her line she’s gotten everything. So she and her husband Peter hop a flight to Kyiv to check out part of the inheritance. A large townhouse that originally belonged to her grandfather. It’s a huge, beautiful, townhouse in the center of the city. Which means the fact it’s sat empty since he for so long should be a hint that there’s something wrong. The glares from people on the street as they arrive should be another. The housekeeper’s elusiveness when asked about these things should have them sleeping in a hotel.
Writer/directors Chad Barager and Kevin Speckmaier don’t waste any time confirming our suspicions that the building is indeed haunted.
