Not Found

Do not rent this movie, it is horrible. Luke Wilson is a terrible actor whose thespian peak probably came in Old School. Kate Beckinsale is usually decent, but this script didn’t give her anything to work with.

The best thing about this movie is that you can save yourself the hassle of wasting an hour and a half of your life actually watching it by going on YouTube and watching the preview. Literally, the trailer shows you everything you’ll learn during the movie except for the not-so-thrilling conclusion.

The plot, a crazy manager at a remote motel and his cronies make videos of themselves murdering unfortunate guests, is ridiculous. They never give you any hint as to why they do it, how they get away with it, how long they’ve been doing it…you know, minor details like that. The whole thing is just totally implausible. In the end, there is exactly zero denouement offered, which, while stupid, fits with what you would expect after watching the rest of the film.

Plus, the casting couldn’t have been worse. The hotel manager seemed more nerdy than crazy, creepy, or frightening, and some genius chose Ethan freaking’ Embry (Can’t Hardly Wait) to play one of the killers. As the Comic Book Guy would say, “Worst. Choice. Ever.”

Stay away from this.
