    A good movie

    Reading some peoples reviews on this is pitiful. The story is solid, acting is good the camera work could be better (seeing camera man in window of Sheriff Joe's Jeep outside the restaurant), sound is ok. Over all it's a good film, not every movie needs to be on a super explosive Hollywood budget. Like many die hard horror fans, we will watch good, bad and really bad and somewhere in-between each of those is the "it's not bad but not good either". This movie is certainly not an edge of a seat sitter or splatter/slasher flick but it does tell a good story and it shows some good acting by leads.

    Amateurish and very bad

    This movie has been done with a small budget and it shows. There is nothing good that can be said about it. Acting is horrible, script is idiotic and even the fake blood looks like ketchup. I really had to struggle to watch this trash to the end, and the ending was ridiculously stupid.

    Not bad for the budget

    You can tell it's extremely low production, but it was a really interesting/messed up plot. Watchable for horror fans.

    What happens when cameras a are cheap

    Medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, medium shot, close up, long shot, medium shot, break the 180 degree rule, long shot....

    Total rubbish. Story is drivel. Acting is awful. Characters aren't in any way shape or form believable. Totally totally pointless and bland.

    Don't even bother..... really don't...

    Different, but still nothing special.

    A unemployed woman finds a job in a ugly looking hotel where she meet an old woman who hires her. The woman who seems very nice has a dark secret, and a dark agenda. Besetment is obviously a B-movie, there's no doubt about that, however you don't see that in the production, direction, maybe in the acting, nothing else.

    • Goofs
      When the sheriff enters the hotel he quickly runs up the stairs. It cuts back to a deputy then back to him as he comes back down the stairs. When he reaches the bottom you can clearly see a cameraman, standing in the back door with a camera on a tripod.
