"Rooms for Tourists" is about 5 young ladies, all bound for Trinidad (Argentina, apparently, not the island) and they all share a common bond. They're all stuck in some small village called San Ramon because the train to Trinidad supposedly came early, at least that's what they're told upon arriving at the station. So they're forced to spend the night at a house that "ocassionally" rents rooms to tourists, run by a man and his brother. While in this town the girls have the pleasure of catching one of the "services" at a small church, where exorcism seems to be the theme of the day. The girls are then convinced the town is full of "whackos" and they're not far from wrong. After a meal in the house they retire to their rooms & then one of them is attacked by a man with a hood, and the real nightmare begins. They're unable to get out of the house and all the windows appear to be closed up, and one by one they're attacked and killed, despite trying to stay together. Eventually the common bond of the girls and the reason they all managed to be at this same place at once is revealed, although you might have figured some of it out earlier because there are small hints. This is a disturbing and creepy movie, in black and white, which makes it seem even creepier. This isn't necessarily something that hits you while you're watching the film but it does kind of creep up on you later. My biggest complaint I have is that things move along a bit too quickly to keep up with the subtitles sometimes and I had to back up to see what I missed. The overall atmosphere is one of dread and terror and it all works very well. This may well be a director to watch...an interesting and creepy film and well worth seeing if you're a horror fan. 8 out of 10.
