Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

The greatest movie ever!

Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable

This movie feels like it was made purely to piss off people who want good shows

Once more, a traveller finds himself in a nightmare. He tries to simply enjoy a good night's rest. While his is getting ready, various pieces of furniture disappear and reappear. At one point, he takes off his pants and they fly through the air. Soon it's his bed. The man is frantic and overacts like crazy, which is great fun. These crazy living quarters are a real treat and must have been a delight to the viewers.

Among the films of Georges Méliès available today this is the first to feature one of the cinema magician's most common trick film formulas—that of the weary traveler being tormented in his hotel room. Méliès's earlier films "A Terrible Night" (Une nuit terrible) and "A Nightmare" (Le cauchemar) (both 1896) established the outlines of a man's rest being interrupted, but here is the earliest available instance where he is at an inn and the entire room seems to conspire against his restful night's sleep.This was done by both theatrical and cinematic tricks. For instance, a splice of the filmstrip made a chair disappear as he tries to sit down, while his boots are pulled away on strings. These movements, appearances and disappearances of his clothing and the room's furniture end up driving the man to run out of the room in terror. Additionally, it shouldn't be overlooked how much Méliès's own performances in front of the camera added to amusement of these productions.This weary traveler at an inn genre was employed again in such Méliès's films as "Going to Bed Under Difficulties" (1900), "The Inn Where No Man Rests" (1903) and "The Black Imp" (1905) with variations on this theme in "A Roadside Inn" (1906) and "The Diabolic Tenant" (1909). Other filmmakers were quick to imitate and improve upon these films, as well, including Edwin S. Porter's "Dream of a Rarebit Fiend" (1906) and J. Stuart Blackton's "The Haunted Hotel" (1907).

Bewitched Inn, The (1897) *** 1/2 (out of 4) aka L'Auberge ensorceleeMelies plays a man who shows up at his motel room where ghostly things start happening right from the start. We get to witness all sorts of magic tricks throughout this film including his clothes flying through the air, his boots walking off and of course a scene where he goes to sit in a chair only to have the chair move on him. The special effects are, needless to say, terrific and it's amazing at how well they hold up today. The magic Melies brings to the screen is certainly something very special and this film contains plenty of laughs to keep you entertained. The highlight of the film has to be the exploding candle.

L'AUBERGE ENSORCELE is probably Melies' most imitated single film: a traveler enters a hotel room and things don't just go wrong: thy go terribly pear-shaped as beds vanish and reappear, boots walk off and pants fly away in a side-splitting combination of stage and film magic. I have seen variations from Edison, Booth, Gaumont and Melies redid this at least three times in increasingly elaborate variations. Still, there's always tremendous fun in seeing something done for the first time and Melies' sense of fun is always great to see.This is one of the many previously lost or infrequently seen Melies pictures that have been made available by Serge Bromberg, David Shepherd and a myriad of other hands in the newly issued DVD set GEORGES MELIES: FIRST WIZARD OF CINEMA. Required viewing for anyone interested in the history of movies ..... and a lot of fun.
