Horror Movies take place in a hotel, motel, lodge or Inn

[jstein]

Greetings everyone,

First post here, so I hope that I am posting in the correct forum. My question is I would like to know of any horror movies that took place at a hotel, motel, lodge or an Inn? So far I have Hotel of the Dead but I know there has to be more... It does not make a difference modern, old, independent, domestic or international thanks everyone...

Dead and Breakfast

haunted honeymoon

[The_Return]

Not flat out horror, but Jericho Mansions is a damn good dark mystery that takes place in an appartement building. James Caan stars...I highly reccomend it.

May I just ask why you are looking for ones that take place in these specific buildings?

1) Identity is Unpredictable, exciting, full of mystery and horror psychological thriller. For a start, I would like to say this is one of the best psychological thrillers that exist so I highly recommend to those who like this kind of movies

2) It is about a group of strangers: a family, a limo driver, an actress, a cop transporting a convict, a newly married couple, and a hooker who all end up stranded at a secluded motel due to a storm and then they get killed one by one. One of the 11 people is the killer but who?

3) There other story revolves a psychiatrist who is trying to prove the innocence of a man accused of murder in an eleventh hour trial. Both these story will create a twist at the end that would leave you astonished

4) The beginning is quite clever where the camera stops at one point and goes to the past to show you what happens.

5) Great performance from the cast John Cusack, Ray Liotta, Amanda Peet - small parts by John McGinley, Jake Busey, Rebecca De Mornay.

6) This movie is a masterpiece If you want to watch a horror, a mystery, a action, and a murder film then see Identity today because it has all of that in it!

It my favorite movie and that why i think it best movies ever made

Hated it.

Twisty for twisty's sake and the reveal nulified any sympathy one could have for any of the "characters." Ham-fisted and trite.
But then again you hated A Clockwork Orange - so I can see we'll never agree on what quality filmmaking is.

See No Evil-not terrible but not spectacular.

Slaughter Hotel

Ghost Keeper. They just re-released it on DVD, and I emailed Netflix asking them to get it (I asked them to get Let's Scare Jessica to Death and they had it three weeks later, so maybe they listen).

Anyhow Ghost Keeper is probably one of the best "lodge horror" B films of all time. That's a pretty specific genre though... IMDB Ghost Keeper for kicks.

Dead and Breakfast, Psycho, Haunted Honeymoon, and The Shining are the ones that first pop in my mind.

Though not a lodge/motel/whatnot, you could toss Night of the Living Dead in there. The reason I say this is because it follows the similar premise of most hotel horror movies. Strangers stranded together facing an unknown evil.

Eaten Alive

[Despare]

Check out the Masters of Horror "Pick Me Up", a decent bit of it takes place in/around a motel and it's a fun watch. Also, for comedy horror (less horror) Transylvania 6-5000.

[mordrid]

Forgot the classic The Rocky Horror Picture Show

[Papillon Noir]

1408 (this doesn't come out until July though).

[knife_fight]

Mountaintop Motel Massacre

[Disease]

Eaten Alive, there a hell of a lot... obviously there is physco!

Vacancy is the latest one I can think of, but that could be considerd a thriller...

Hostell and Hostell 2 are some more obvious ones...

You're initial list was fairly vague.

[nicklord1]

you guys have forget the Beyond
