Michael's Movie Grade: D
A rather bland and forgettable horror flick.
This movie has a young woman go into a dangerous hotel to save her sister. The hotel is run by a group of immortal satanists, who wish to sacrifice her to the devil.
This story offers nothing that you have not seen before. In fact, the story even has many similarities to Ready or Not 2, which is still in theaters. This movie tries to do many of the same things that the other film did, but it just doesn't pull it off. While the violence is still very over the top here, it lacks the sense of fun that the gore in that other film has. Here the gore is often used for gross out humor. Unfortunately, that humor is often more gross than it is funny. Despite this being a horror/comedy, there is not a single moment that actually comes off as funny. Every comedic moment seems to be trying too hard to be funny and just simply missing the mark. When it comes to the horror, there are a couple creepy moments early on in the film but after this the movie is devoid of any real scares. I got the sense that the climax was supposed to feel creepy but it frankly it looked and felt too fake to garner any real scares. Like Ready or Not 2, this movie revolves around the relationship between two sisters. Unfortunately these sisters are bland characters and their relationship never feels as real or believable.
Skip this movie.
