This movie is not scary and the script is horrible

Indie anthology

HORROR HOTEL THE MOVIE is a sci-fi/horror anthology film featuring a number of interconnected tales centred around a creepy old hotel. It has way better production values than most indies in this genre which allows for more energy and vibrancy than you might expect. A cool soundtrack and some imaginative scenes here and there help to make this more palatable than most, although I still found it a bit too cheap and familiar to really enjoy.
Broad comic appeal
seemayerstudios15 July 2018
A collection of mini-movies that are outrageous tongue-in-cheek sendups of horror movies. There is some broad comic appeal and some recurring cast members do their best to provide energy and entertainment. I have actually stayed at a couple of Motel 6s that would give Horror Hotel a run for its money.
Trashy and not fun.

There are movies out there that are so bad they are good but this movie unfortunately is not one of those. Whilst most horror anthologies (Creepshow for example) have some good segments and some fillers this film looks like it was comprised completely from the filler segments. The acting is amateurish and just plain bad so even the stories that might have had potential fall flat. And even though the movie is tagged as a horror/sci-fi, there are elements of (unfunny) humor that don't work well overall. A good example of this is the first segment about two alien women crash landing on earth in order to find men. They are dressed and act like they are from the 1960s since they watched sci-fi programs that took fifty years to reach their planet. They interrupt a fight between a guy and a girl at a cheap motel. The guy is smitten and his girlfriend is jealous. The idea was interesting but the execution of it was not. And this was the case with the rest of the segments as well.
Overall this is a badly acted film with a cast of unknown actors. The movie had an interesting idea or two but nothing was done with them. A 2 out of 10. It could have been so much better.

Should Be Labeled as Comedy
shmarie8 July 2017
I got this for 2 reasons- I LOVE horror anthologies and I love horror movies that take place in a crappy small motel. The premise was there and I suppose these people have a following that I was unaware of before getting this movie (hence the extra star- oh and I liked maybe one of the stories) but this movie is campy to the point of extreme. It should actually be called a comedy and not a horror movie as, although it is a horror-comedy, it leans much more towards the comedy genre and the acting is complete crap!
Have you ever been angry at a movie?
jackmeat30 October 2016
My quick rating - 0,4/10. This is the first time I actually wanted to give a zero rating to a flick. I found myself mad that I wouldn't turn it off. Poor trait to have when you watch so much but this regurgitation may have been the worst movie I have seen. There is not one single thing I can come up with to shed any light on why you would want to see this. Typically in anthology movies, some chapters are good, some bad. Goes with the territory of that style. How to actually consistently be so pathetic is beyond me. That achievement is the only decimal points this movie got, and that is for not straying from being utter garbage. I have no clue how they classified this movie to a genre in the slightest, the title makes no sense since there is absolutely no substance in the film. What others me about warning you people is a can't swear so you would get a good idea of how angry....OK. I'll stop. Point being if you are on a crusade to make your eyeballs want to commit suicide from within your own skull, find this movie and watch it. Or if you need to get back at someone, kidnap them and force them to watch this over and over again. If aliens are monitoring the earth, please understand that no one really rates this higher then 1 (zero being a non option) and those that do have a strange sense of humor. It cannot be because they were paid to say good things, they just want to trick others into watching it. Heck, my review alone has more substance and someone is most likely thinking "I gotta see just how bad this is" Well, you have been warned.

Fun movie with six different segments

Absolutely Awful!

check into this hotel
pz-7216522 July 2019
6 shorts equals a great fun filled creep fest. Indie horror at its finest. Something for everyone with the 6 different stories. Each one surprising and weird. Very entertaining, all indie horror fans should check into this hotel.
Zany with lots of twists and surprises
davidhardie-9403427 October 2016
Horror Hotel is not a single movie but is rather a compilation of Twilight Zone type short stories. They are not really horror in the traditional sense in that they are not filled with gore, blood and violence but rather they are entertaining in a light and fun way. Horror Hotel will particularly appeal to anyone who loves camp. It is great escapist entertainment and is the sort that is best enjoyed over a pizza and a few drinks with a group of friends. It's clear that this is not a big budget production but the film makers have made great use of the resources they had. The special effects are well done and the acting, editing and sound are solid. Some of the stories work better than others but if you approach the movie with an open mind and are not expecting studio level action and effects you will find it an entertaining, zany ride with lots of twists and surprises.
Not so much horror as Horrible

It's fun to be weirded out
richardrossner30 August 2016
Anthologies are a fun way to satisfy the current trend for shorter and shorter attention spans. This one tells a handful of stories about creepy people and disturbing situations. I found myself watching them the way I might polish off a bowl of potato chips. "I think I'll have another!" Then another, and another. Each story held the promise of entering an entirely new world with odd characters and circumstances. I was hooked! It reminded me of how I enjoyed Rod Serling's "Twilight Zone" when I a kid. I knew there were stories that I didn't want to watch, because they would be keep me up at night...yet I couldn't stop watching. Great sense of style. Good production values for this indie. Some very nice performances, as well. A lot of fun for a dark and stormy night.
Are you a fan of Tales from the Darkside?
ranch70023 September 2016
Some people are fans of horror anthologies. . . . and I'm one of them! So naturally, I was drawn to Horror Hotel, being that this is exactly what it is. I should also note that I'm a fan of low budget indie films as well, so this movie already had 2 things going for it in my book. I've heard some people describe this movie as a modern day take on the Twilight zone, but honestly, I think it compares better to the old "Tales from the Darkside" that was popular in the early to mid 1980's. I would definitely say, if you enjoyed the Tales from the Darkside show, you should check this out. If you didn't enjoy Tales from the Darkside, this may not be for you because it is of that ilk. So, to just double check the score card here......if you like Horror/Suspense anthologies, if you like low budget indies and if you like the old show "Tales from the Darkside", well, then this is just a no brainer for you to check out. Another thing I'd like to point out about the movie is the cinematography. It just looks good! The imagery is very nice to look at. As is the case with most horror anthologies, some of the stories here are better than others. I think they range from quite good to so-so. A lot of this just depends on individual preference and taste, however.
Kitschy-campy-eccentric anthology series
donnawheeler200427 October 2016
Warning: Spoilers
This indie anthology series is a variety of kitschy-campy-weird compact tales, with stylized characters and situations in the sci-fi/mystery/other-worldly genres. The setting is the creepy hotel itself, an oddball character in its own right. And watching it, I got the sense that strange things happen because we're at this particular hotel (motel). It had that feel of being in another dimension where 'it's not Kansas any more.' The visual design and music throughout tells you it's camp and kitsch, complete with dark and stormy nights. It's not 100% true horror series; no evil monster on the rampage - so don't expect that sort of fright or chills. But it's oddly eccentric, B-movie-styled, with twisted stories and memorable aliens, villains, creeps and robbers for a fun, unique viewing experience.
A very creative independent film
adrianesposito11 December 2016
I am a supporter of independent films and filmmakers. This film was very creative and different. The cinematography and musical score were high quality and it kept my attention. I would like to see some of the shorts go on to feature length. The fact that it is a series of shorts is also a different concept. The pieces remind me of the old "Twilight Zone" television series or even the "Outer Limits."
I liked "Life After Men" the best. It achieved a sense of "horror" for an imagined future. The piece about the brain exchange machine had an interesting ending as did the piece about the comatose woman. I found that ending a little confusing but the story itself had strong elements of horror.

Musical score is awesome and the editing tight. I really enjoyed the film, it makes some interesting film like comments that are unique and compelling. I thought the directing was on par and lighting was very driving moving the film through it's pacing. Much good about this! Great story telling in a very mod sort of way. Looking for more.

Classic " B " movie style
ktofmoon12 April 2021
Warning: Spoilers
Just how GREATS out there " take off " . Movies like " Rocky Horror Picture Show " , " Invaders from Mars " . . Not at all a BIG NAME, HIGH BUDGET release. No extremely popular actors ( though actors aren't extremely popular from the start- look at Jennifer Aniston: "TROLL" ). . So one never really knows ! Kinda " cheesy effects at times, just adds to the identity of the film .
A 80's throwback.
harriscalvin-116 November 2019
This film was fun. A throw back to the 1980's horror classics. The segments were well written and the various actors did really well. The different plots and twists certainly will keep the viewer on the edge of their seat. The sound effects were well placed and the various set decorations were stellar.
Fun, quirky, culty. Worth the watch for low budget supernatural.
cbax12313 August 2019
The cinematography, editing and directing is surprisingly well done and professional. These are fun, quirky stories that are entertaining. If you're into fun, culty, supernatural stories it's worth the watch. Occasionally, the acting can take you a little out of it at times but there's moments of wonderful comedy. I wished the stories had all connected but it's more of a series of short episodes that take place in the same location than a movie. Forsure had fun watching this.
Now I'm Stepping Into The Twilight Zone
TheAll-SeeingI23 April 2019
Admittedly, I'm an easy mark for clever, shrewdly-made suspense vignettes like what we're given with "Horror Hotel The Movie."
Having grown up with an annual Twilight Zone Marathon televised on Los Angeles channel KTLA, I ate up Rod Serling's stuff three square for 24 hours at a pop (pre-"binge watching"). If you share in those same kind of surrealist, twisted delights, Horror Hotel The Movie is going to be right in the middle of the fairway for you.
This isn't major studio gloss: Instead, terrifically thoughtful and ideas-driven writing partner with rock-steady acting to provide the baseline production value, which is further bolstered by a timely and stand-out score. The perfect synthesis of independently-minded indie and mind-tripping sci fi, Horror Hotel The Movie is rock-solid though and through!

A fun horror anthology series
JGReviews24 April 2019
Horror Hotel is a fun indie anthology series of horror/sci-fi types of short films. The stories involve aliens, clones, brain robbing, and more.
I really like anthology series like these. It might even remind some of Twilight Zone or similar series. Sometimes what horror junkies like me like best are wild stories, tongue-in-cheek humor, and fun effects, and Horror Hotel has all of that. I particularly enjoyed "Aliens Stole My Boyfriend" about hot aliens who crash down from space and start flirting with a girl's boyfriend and "Brain Robbers in Love" about a new brain-swapping technology that has a fun twist.
If you're looking for a fun indie horror anthology, check out Horror Hotel!

A different but very well executed film
johnapplebee-9594726 February 2019
A movie That was more set up like a mini series of 6 different stories. Very creative and different with its own original content to it. Sort of reminded me of the twilight zone series back in the day. Well executed with its quirky characters and the production was very well done. Wouldn't mind seeing more from these filmmakers.
A very original approach to telling innovative stories
ruddycarpio20 November 2018
American horror story meets twins peak "the return", in this fascinating collection of Sci-fi/Horror/Comedy, and odd tales. Some of the themes are dark, spicy and creepy, but overall very enjoyable. It is worth to mention the creative and stylistic storytelling, accompanied with a superb score and a pretty cinematography. Everyone should watch this!
