The idea of the film appealed to me. It seemed promising but I bought the DVD and was disappointed. The film was too obviously pieces from other films like "the Shining", "Picnic at Hanging Rock" and even "A Passage to India" (the kiss in the cave). It could have been a good mix of these mysterious and eerie elements but it did not work. The film was predictable and not scary in the least. There were too many confusing jumps in time. All of a sudden it was night time, then day. One moment the girl was indoors, the next outside... It was not helped by the one-note performances by the actors. The lead girl had no charisma and I finally did not care what happened to her. I do not know why it was shown at cinemas in Sweden or even released on DVD! Maybe people thought the photography was arty. A lot of modern photography today looks like scenes from this movie. You can see stuff looking like that in art museums. As a film there was too little worth remembering.

If you ever see this movie, prepare for the dullest, least interesting, most event less, technically faulty movie maybe you'll ever see. This movie is, with all due respect for the author, crap. The outline for the movie sounds pretty interesting, but don't be fooled. It's about a German girl who gets a receptionist job at a hotel, and that's all there is to it. On the back of the DVD case it says "Thriller / Horror - Age rating: 15 years" (at least in Sweden it did), which just seems like a desperate attempt in convincing you to rent this awful movie.During the film, nothing of interest happens. There is no horror at all (besides a few crappy attempts on making illusionary scenes), the love story included is so dull and unskillfully executed that you just don't care and the characters have absolutely no depth. Believe me when I say that this movie contains worse acting, lightning, story, camera and characters than ANYTHING you'll ever see on public television. It's an utter disaster.More on the characters, the main character is so incredibly dull that you have absolutely no sympathy for her, the side characters add nothing to the story and the dialog in between characters would've been better removed.To conclude, I hate ordinary Hollywood movies (with a few exceptions of course) that are filled with clichés and bad movie-making. I guess that's why I rented this movie, to experience a different kind of hotel horror movie, but anything cliché and made-only-for- the-money would've been waaay better than this. I advise you to stay as far from this movie as you possibly can.

I saw this "movie" last year and I'm sorry to say that it was the worst movie I ever saw. There is no acting, no story, no suspense, no music, ... There is NOTHING lasting the whole film long. The "highlight" of the "movie" is that a door is shut when the main character returns (of course you don't see how it's shut since the "movie" doesn't contain any action).I wouldn't call this piece even a "movie" since it is such an unbounded cheek. If i was possible to vote not from 1 to 10 but from -10 to 10 I would have chosen -10 without hesitating!How can 80 minutes of boredom win a prize?

I usually don't comment what fellow critics on IMDb write, but giving this little masterpiece only an average of 4,2 is bad taste indeed. In short; it's been a while since one saw a movie there so much happens, even if you don't see all of it on the screen. Franziska Weiss is really great, with a face which tells you a lot, with just a small correction of the glimpse in her eyes.This is creepy, but in a way you might be rather familiar with from your own life. That life is here, by very small means, a nightmare. Maybe the end doesn't really fulfill what is promised, not really. Maybe the camera spotlights in the forest surrounding the hotel are too sharp.But still this is supposed to give you much worse dreams than for example "The Grudge", which is made by amateurs.
