What an exceptional story, it`s like Stephen King`s novel,  but it`s not. The cast is not A list but it`s still perfect, everyone contributed greatly to the overall quality of the movie. One more thing i like is that the story is closed, and by that I mean that it`s set in some desolate hotel where several people are enclosed in tense atmosphere as they are killed one by one.

There are a lot intense and very interesting scenes as the characters are trying to figure out who is the killer and how to stop him, with some original ending this movie was a refreshment in movie industry that fabricates horror movies that after first ten minutes are so predictable that you do not want to watch them. Enjoy this uniquely original movie.

Fun Facts: The poem “As I was going up the stair / I met a man who wasn’t there. / He wasn’t there again today / I wish, I wish he’d go away” which one of the characters claims to have written when they were young, is really a poem by Hughes Mearns.
