This is an interesting sort of horror/comedy/character study, directed by Paul Bartel, from the early 70's. Overall I guess it's not bad but if it's supposed to be a 'horror comedy' it doesn't succeed as either of those, really. It's not really funny, or at least I didn't find it so, and it's got horror overtones more than being a horror movie. It's more a study of the eccentric denizens of a sleazy hotel in downtown L.A., specifically George, the handyman; the owner/manager, and her niece. Seems that George is also a photographer, of sorts, and that's only one of his hobbies. There's some seemingly sinister stuff going on there, and the aunt seems to know something about it but tries to keep her niece away from it rather than just sending her packing. There are a few moments of humor but this is more a weird thriller than anything else. The look and feel of the film is what made it for me, otherwise it seems a bit tepid for Bartel but hey, it is an early effort. 7 out of 10, a few weird twists, and look for Jessee James (as in "Jessee James meets Frankenstein's Daughter") in a small role as a cop.
