For something distributed by Midnight Releasing, this wasn't half bad. A group of 30-something friends acquire an old hotel to renovate. This hotel has a history of murder and legend has it that a few million dollars are hiding somewhere in the premises. Parallel to their first night on the job, an old man is released from jail and is intent to find this loot on that same night, with the help of a taxi driver and a vagrant who inhabits the place.
This is low-budget, so expect a no-name cast with acting abilities ranging from non-existent to mediocre. Some of the ladies were pretty, though all the guys were paunch-bellied repulsive. Still, the director knows his pace and there are enough twists and turns to keep the attention going. I could count 4 different killers within the 90-minutes span, the most interesting one being regrettably underused. The movie rides a fine line between maniac, slasher & thriller but marches to its own drum. The whole storyline has of course been done before but the crews's heart was definitely in it and everyone performed at the best of their limited abilities.
