Looook, I was really excited to see this. Not disappointed! An old school haunted hotel movie really hits the spot hard. My only complaint, and it’s a small one, is that Adam Scott’s character was a little too harshly portrayed and it was a little too…noticeable? Like I spent the first 30 minutes kindof dismissing the whole thing because of it. Took a bit of balance away from the movie. The scenery? Great. The witch? Scary AF. FIVE GHOSTS.
