Hotel Lake (2020)

There is nothing really wrong about this movie (except for the ghost snapchat filter, I can’t anymore), but there is nothing really right either. It’s structured in a way that it does not hold the suspense and I honestly did not care about the mystery of it all. The characters presented no depth and their personalities were as bland as they can get. Not to mention random involvement of the police, which was honestly not necessary.

The plot twist by the end made sense, but also came out of nowhere since it was not really set up throughout the film - it was the ending that simply felt flat.

When I watch movies like that I always wonder, how did this cast end up here? These are not unknown actors who have to take any project thrown at them. What made them think these were roles worth taking? How can one see a script to a mediocre movie like that and gladly be part of it?

There were a few aesthetic shots, but overall, the movie did not really offer much to be praised.

Good cast with average story line.

If you like light horror movies with somewhat distorted faces and have time in hand then go for this.

The actors are good but the story is not upto the mark.
The ending is a bit disappointing and unsatisfactory.

'M kind of scaredy cat, so for me, there were lots of jump scare moments in the movie but actually for a horror fan the movie would be a cake walk.

The story starts off good and creates interest but soon you will find the it going haywire and boring.

They could have made good use of many characters within the story (eg. The half blind boy, detective, etc)
But they were just wasted.

The lead actress just looks bland with no interest in the spooky elements that keeps happening around her. Like literally she turns a blind eye to every suspicious thing she encounters which normally would make people run for their life.

Many scenes are confusing and unnecessary cause proper conclusion has not been given to them.

All in all... You can skip this movie if you are busy and want to watch something fulfilling, otherwise watch this movie for about 1 hr 40 mins... And after it ends regret watching it and come here to leave a review for others like you 😅
(P.S: I did my part! )🙈
