just watch it!

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.

I abso-bloody-lutely loved Necrostorm's first movie Adam Chaplin, directed by and starring Emanuele De Santi, but was rather disappointed by their follow up, Taeter City, which was helmed by Chaplin's special effects man Giulio De Santi: it tried hard to impress, but simply didn't work anywhere near as well as a whole, despite once again featuring tons of superb splatter. But I'm a generous kind of guy, always willing to give a film-maker a second chance to impress, and with Hotel Inferno, impress me De Santi most certainly has. As Yoda might say. If he watched gore films.Shot entirely in first-person POV, Hotel Inferno is quite unlike anything I have ever witnessed before. Sure, I've seen first-person POV employed sparingly in films like Doom and House of the Dead, but never has it been used as fully or so effectively as it is here, the viewer being fully immersed in the action from start to incredibly bloody finish. Quite how De Santi pulls off some of his technical trickery is simply mind-boggling, the whole film feeling like one long take during which numerous foes are dispatched in graphic fashion by the film's anti-hero Frank Zimosa, the hit-man through whose eyes we witness the action.Zimosa (Rayner Bourton) has been hired by mysterious businessman Jorge Mistrandia (Michael Howe) to kill a couple currently staying in a fancy schmancy hotel in some strange, unspecified foreign country. Mistrandia, who keeps in contact with Zimosa via high-tech glasses that relay everything the hit-man sees, insists that the kills be carried out in a ritualistic manner with specific weapons. Always the professional, Zimosa obeys, but becomes concerned when his second intended victim displays some worrying symptoms before he has even been touched, spewing blood and pus all over the bathroom while mumbling about 'She' being 'fed on pain'. Suspecting that something is seriously wrong, the hit-man decides to split, but Mistrandia has other ideas and sends other killers to prevent Zimosa from leaving the hotel.What follows is an hour and a quarter of extreme, jaw dropping brutality, with the plot taking strange turns into the world of the occult, pitting Zimosa against an army of deformed zombie-like creatures and—in the manner of the video games that it so closely emulates—an end-of-level boss that is super powerful and seriously freaky. Admittedly, the film loses focus in the final act and feels a little longer than it really needs to be, but overall this is a very impressive piece of horror cinema—innovative, exciting, and oh-so-incredibly-gory!

First, let me say that I can not believe 40 people gave this sad piece of VHS tape a 10! The acting is virtually non existent, you never see anyones face without a cheap stupid latex mask, which my grandma probably could have done better. The whole idea about a hotel full of "demons" is so stupid you can't believe it. Whithyout acting, story or characters, the only thing left is the gore, which is really really cheap and ugly. Add to this an annoyingly shaky camera and someone making gargling noises all the time, and you have a movie that makes "Plan B from outer Space" an Oscar-Winner. Avoid at all costs! Just watch something else instead...

Well, you can call it a movie, but it's not. It's just, nothing really. It start with some gore, continue with more gore, and ends with gore. The dialogue is artificial, nothing you really hear in the real world, seems like the actors trying to play something they can't, they just don't fit into the roles. You can tell from the beginning how it's going to end, in fact, you can tell the whole "movie" from the first picture of it. There are no surprises, no climax and you can't even call the soundtrack a soundtrack, it just doesn't fit to the movie. Don't bother yourself with this one, it's a complete waste of one hour and 17 minutes. Better watch some cartoons.

Finally my copy arrived, and I can't wait to watch it again.The story: The ex solider of fortune Zimmosa, now contract killer ZImosa, is a very cold blood and bastard inside man. He's only good side is, he love his girlfriend. For the rest he's a war machine and he can kill people without problems :D He has been hired by a mysterious old man (Mistrandia) that communicate with him trough some spycam glasses, to kill a couple of serial killer that are hiding in a hotel. But as soon Zimmosa conclude his job he realize that the hotel is just a cover for a giant organization, handed by Mistrandia, that collect "ancient things"My Review Since the very first moment the movie started, I actually felt like I was watching a very long video game's cut scene. Everything happen under your eyes (with everything I mean EVERYTHING, also when the protagonist pukes or he heal his broken hand) The camera never stop to record...because the camera is actually the eyes of the protagonist (not a real camera like Rec and Blair Witch Project) This gives a very entertaining feeling, I never get bored, and I was always curious and surprised what new situation was about to come,what new monster was about to come from the corner. The mysterious story and the way the things are explained keep the hype on the top, and the camera it's not shaky like in VHS or rec, but more linear. I really loved the photography and the way they managed to keep the camera balanced and like in a fps game. You can actually feel the heaviness of the punches, the bones crunch ed under your feet like You are the protagonist, and you can actually feel on your skin also the fear he feel. Really a cool and unique experience, like a horror roller coaster :) I really liked the acting, more than the previous Necrostorm movies, I think more budget has been spent with actors this time, and I'm very happy about that. Some sequence are really disgusting(the throat cutting) other are more exaggerated (like the granades war) but all are extremely bloody and different in some ways, I like that the staff used a different approach on different sequence.Extras I really appreciated the audio commentary, something I wanted to hear also in the previous titles, and a very detailed but very short fxs tutorial. Not a problem cause he answered many questions ;)Weak points: The only point that surprised me in a weird way is the final boss, I really loved it but it was completely different from my expectations. Probably just me considering it's reported in the movie's cover :DMy Final Vote Really an awesome movie, probably the best Necrostorm's movie so far, I love fps games and to see a movie that looks like a real game (really not like those shitty RE and DOOM movies) really gave me an awesome feelingBiased vote 10/10 points Unbiased vote (for who don't like splatters) 8/10Continue with your great work, Cheers from Germany
