Horror Story (2013)
The only excuse I can accept from the writers and director is... they were drunk.
No one involved with this movie, obviously, knew a thing about producing a horror movie.
A group of young adults go to a supposedly haunted hotel - apparently on a dare - that hasn't been open for years and years. For some reason, the previous owners left behind much of the furniture, several CRT computer screens, phones and much other equipment. And thieves hadn't bothered with any of it, either.
The hotel had been a mental hospital decades before becoming a hotel - and they, too, left a lot of medical equipment behind which, for some unknown reason, the hotel owners had left untouched.
One of the young men twice plays tricks on the others, to scare them. Yet when the find him in a shower he'd went to investigate, with some blood on his head, they all instantly consider him dead. No one even checks to see if he's actually alive or dead! They start running around the hotel, looking to escape.
This running around shows the hotel to have huge, empty rooms around nearly every corner, and exits have disappeared - except the front glass doors, which prove impervious to even scratches, when heavy objects are launched at them.
Two of the boys go off by themselves (at least they got that right - every horror flick since Friday the 13th have people going off on their own). They suddenly see a heavy woman in old-fashioned nurse's garb. As she tells them "The Doctor will see you now," they actually look confused, but not very frightened. And they go into the room the nurse has indicated!
I can accept the poor acting: None of these young stars are well known, and it is, after all, a B-Movie, but, dayum! Is there a director in the house?
While in the rather barren doctor's office (paying no attention to the fact there is a lit lamp, despite there being no electricity in the place), a rather modern wheelchair rolls by. So, of course, the boys start following it. And, of course, the wheelchair (?) kills one of the boys. And now the wheelchair is hunting the other boy!
The group finds their way to a parking garage, where they find a jeep, that looks to have been there as long as the hotel has been closed. For reasons unexplained, one of the boys has the key - and, amazingly, it starts right up! Of course, there's no egress for the jeep.
Because of where I live, I watched the movie on my laptop, the sound low, the captions on. I was suddenly interested in what language they were speaking in. I turned up the volume, surprised to hear English! No, wait... Spanish. No... what is that, Indian? English again. Indian...
So weird.
Did you know dropping a lit lightbulb into a small puddle of gasoline will cause a large fire? Yeah - neither did I.
One girl survived the night.
No viewers were known to have survived the movie.
