The Resort

Even with fast forwarding about 1/2 the movie it was still unbearably bad and I hate myself for watching it. Yes, it was really that bad. The acting, the writing, ALL OF IT.

At 75 minutes, this movie is too long. Four millennials go to Hawaii to check out a closed and haunted resort. Most of the movie is them just trying to get there. Their relationships aren't really clear. How do they know each other? The spooky characters have make-up special effects that could have been done better by an eight year old using one of those grocery store Halloween kits. The "writer" of this movie (I'm being generous) should swallow a live grenade and hug the director. The "actors" (again-I'm being generous) should fade back into the obscurity from whence they came and never, ever bother anyone again. Save yourself and run...

Didn't have high hopes for this one as I do with most Straight-To-DVD Films, but this one was a little divided with me weirdly enough. The film follows a group who go off to a notorious Resort which has been shut down & abandoned for many years due to supernatural occurrences going on at the hotel, especially in room 306 which is supposedly the worst! But what the group find is far beyond what they are expecting! I found the film to be weirdly not as bad as thought. The cinematography is pretty good along with the location, which really does set the scene & give you the idea that something creepy & sinister took place there! The deaths were pretty good & gory too! Which was another plus, but the length & ending were the 2 biggest downers for me! The film plods along at a steady enough pace but then swiftly goes off the rails & ends! It's almost like the film makers gave up! The film is way too short at only 1 hour & 7 minutes! There could've been at least 13-15 minutes worth of footage to beef the film up more, maybe a bit of a backstory to the resort hotel with supernatural occurrences before they shut it down? Or more prolonged deaths & chase sequences? Or maybe a bit more in terms of seeing the "Half-Faced Girl" in proper close ups & for a couple of seconds so the viewer can see her? I don't know, the film felt rushed & incomplete! But overall it's tough to say as again the visuals, gore & creepy abandoned resort hotel setting really sold it to me! But the end climax & it's rapidly fast crashing conclusion just ruined it for me! 5/10.

You can tell this movie is not going to be good. You can feel it from the trailer, even from the title! Hahahahaha. So expect minimum, expect barely nothing. It's just something to kill time with. It's better than thinking about your life and get depressed. Depression is bad for covid era(so to speak). Then again... Some of you might get depressed by watching this movie so like I said, expect B movie from a B movie. If you don't like B movies at all, stay away. Covid may or may not kill you, but depression... well it also might or might not kill you. Hahahahahaha.
