Room for Rent 2019 ★★½
I seem to be a bit more mild/less though than my fellow critics. Mostly because I like how Lin Shaye portrayed the sadness and the loneliness of the main character. At first, you really feel for her. Good idea to add the selfish boyfriend in an early scene. Good move.
That said, it does have the flaws of a low budget production. The story had a few flaws here and there. Not everything makes sense. And the acting is what you pay for. But I kind of enjoyed the transition from sad to mad, even leaving open wether or not her late husband died of natural circumstances.
Not great and no list material. But enjoyable nonetheless.
The Haunted Hotel 2021 ★★
Haunted house anthology with a case of too much.
Too many stories, too speedy follow-up and no time to catch your breath.
Trim down the number of stories (keep the writer and the chamber maid and 2, maybe 3 others), flesh out the stories that you keep and make work of a decent wrap around story.
M.O.M. Mothers of Monsters 2020 ★½
This is a dollar store version of We need to talk about Kevin where the found footage style adds nothing whatsoever.
