Trivia

Unlike most horror movies with female leads, Sara Paxton rarely ever screams in this film. Ti West hired her and almost recast her after discovering that Sara Paxton in fact cannot scream convincingly - her screams were claimed to come out sounding comical rather than conveying terror.

User Reviews

Like watching Paint Dry

I looked at the IMDb rating, thought I would give this movie a go.

What a waste of time! It is like watching paint dry or waiting for grass to grow. A complete waste of 90 or so minutes.

How anyone would dare to compare this pile of junk to Jack Nicholson in the Shining beggars belief.

This movie is not fit to lick the boots of that movie.

The characters are 2 dimensional wooden cutouts, the guy on the hotel reception that looks like Woody Woodpecker for instance.... who thought this garbage up? Do yourselves a favour - go and watch The Shining, this isn't worth a dime, it was actually painful to try and sit through the movie. It certainly isn't horror, and it is barely a movie.
