The Haunted Hotel

I enjoyed this collection of short films. They aren't overly dark or cynical. The stories aren't necessarily scary but they do range from being fun, to poignant to creepy. "The Writer" and "40 Years" were my favorites. Overall, the acting is consistent with the overall tone and "spirit" of the films. What I found impressive is that each film took place during a different time period but within the same location; the lighting, production design and costumes all tied the different time periods together nicely while grounding them all within the hotel. I definitely recommend this to viewers who enjoy a good-natured spooky film.

An enjoyable series of linked stories set in a real Ipswich hotel. The stories vary from the atmospheric, to more spooky with some gentle British humour in between.

I enjoyed this. It's always intriguing to see what can be achieved on a low budget and this delivers some excellent and quirky stuff. Well done to all involved. Hope it does well.

I liked the idea of watching the various segments tied together by the haunted hotel but the quality was pretty low and unfortunately none were particularly scary. Despite it being the setting for the whole feature, the hotel itself doesn't have a very strong presence and as a result, each segment feels unrelated to the others. The acting was very hit and miss as were the concepts for each segment, although there was definitely some welcome originality.

I thoroughly enjoyed this very odd film, it's very unusual, almost unique, definitely not your typical horror movie, some great segments though, particularly the segment featuring Tim and his wife, and the one which featured Maisy as The Hotel Maid.

It's very atmospheric, very nicely made, and definitely well acted, High Fraser in particular was fantastic.

Was it scary? Definitely not, so if you're after thrills and scares, this may not be for you, however if you're looking for suspense and mystery, you may well enjoy this curio.

Very watchable, 8/10.
