Dante's Hotel (2023)
5/10
"Elevated" Shlock
25 October 2023
For some reason Tubi original horror movies aren't pure garbage.

This one is actually an attempt of an interesting plot hook combo'd with a slasher.

Overall, there's a lot to like about this one, like some decent practical effects and set pieces.

However the direction and acting really hurt this film.

For one the acting (except Raimi and the male lead) is pretty bad. I'm not sure if the direction was just terrible: the cops constantly go into rooms with their guns out regardless of what is happening and they do so in the most exaggerated and ridiculous fashion.

The CG at parts is also really hit or miss. Some parts are well done, others look like flat renders someone made in 10 minutes.

The ending was also a bit of a let down. Really liked the hook but the resolution was really cliche.

Overall, give it a go if you want to see some decent shlock horror that tries to elevate it with an unusual story.
