Spooky Suffolk stories!
2 April 2021
Eight generations of horror in one spooky haunted hotel. From the origins of Dickens early work, the burlesque phantoms of young lovers, the tortured artist to the ghosts of the human mind. Was his whole life just an imagined nightmare of ever diminishing characters?

The haunted Hotel brings all of this into one very scary feature length movie. It embraces a variety of phantasmic themes and employs just as many cinematic techniques. It's almost a pity the hotel is portrayed in the present as a derelict building with just it's ghostly memories and nostalgia keeping it alive. Jack Nicholson arriving as winter caretaker wouldn't be out of place!

The stories are loosely linked together by the characterisation as well as the geographic location! The Haunted Hotel is an engaging and stylish movie, which I would highly recommend, there are slow scares that gradually creep up on you and quick frights that will make you jump. It'll certainly make you think twice about that city break in a boutique hotel, and it's history!
