K 03/29/2022 Phenomenal score. Suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. Time goes by quickly as you try to figure out the movie. See more S D @Stheday Jun 28 The book was really good. The movie is just horrible. The director decided to change the main characters from male to female and got rid of the black character. See more Craig B @Boundsy 10/30/2024 Overall, a well acted movie. Fairly creepy at times and kept you guessing where it was all going to end up. However, I just found the story a tad incoherent which detracted from the overall quality of the movie. Some will like it, some won't... I'm on the fence for his one.

I should preface this by saying that I have read the book. I also grew up in southern Indiana. I *wanted* to love this movie. This movie was so different than the plot of the book. For example, the book had a plot and the movie did not. Every ounce of interesting plot and subplot was removed. Everything that was added was terrible. The writing was awful. The acting was awful. The directing was even worse. The cinematography was…well, awful. The only similarity between the book and the movie was the hotel, character names (although many of their genders and ethnicities had been changed), and a scene with dynamite. If I could leave zero stars I would.

I read the book a few year ago and really loved it. I love the history of the area and it's ghost stories. The only thing that was good about this movie was the setting. It had very little in common with the story in the book other than a few similar names and a handful of scenes. They left out everything that was good about the book, everything that tied the story together. The movie was very hard to follow, so confusing that it made no sense, even though I knew what it was supposed to be about. Maybe my expectations were too high, but I REALLY wanted to like this movie, so much that I bought it and now I wish I hadn't. I won't ever watch it again. This was a huge disappointment. If you like the setting and the hint of a plot that the movie showed for a few brief minutes, definitely read the book. Now I need to go re-read it to get the awful experience of watching that movie out of my brain. See more Read all reviews
