The Haunted Hotel

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.

This compendium might only prove that using eight directors, eight writers, and four editors produces a result that doesn't hold together very well. Some of the segments are quite atmospheric but none are scary or even chilling in the least. This is the kind of "horror" movies that you can't show your kids because they will leave the room rolling their eyes and making fun of you. Only one segment was really scary and that was due to the 1960s wallpaper.

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.

If you're a fan of Inside Number 9 you will appreciate the format and the dark humour. However it doesn't quite measure up to the tv series in terms of cleverness, or scary. But an entertaining watch nonetheless.

Don't watch this if you're looking for scares. If you want to be entertained for an hour or so, give it a go. The acting is good as are the storylines. Nice short little segments.
