It looked interesting, so we flagged it for later and ended up watching it this evening.  It was not a good choice. The best way to describe this movie is it was something that wasn't even close to what you'd expect from a supernatural horror film that takes place in a motel filled w...

I was in the mood for a horror movie/thriller last night and, after failing to find an alternative, ended up picking this film to watch with my wife. Unfortunately, it was kind of disappointing. When I first started watching the movie, I thought, from the descripti...
