Look I think we all know this films not gonna win any major awards but I like the storytelling, which kept me entertained for the films entire duration.

The only negative I would say is some of the acting but unless your casting Tom Hardy or Leo Decaprio in every film then your not gonna get thespians to admire and adore their craft.

Go into the film expecting nothing. You won't be disappointed and you might even enjoy it. Have fun.

I must admit that I initially liked this movie's cover/poster, and it was the reason for why I took a gander at it. Now, I can't claim that I had heard about this horror movie from writers Mel Hagopian and Richard Harlost prior to sitting down to watch the movie, so I didn't have any expectations really, nor did I know what I was in for.

And the movie's synopsis sounded interesting enough, further cementing me sitting down to watch the movie and give it a fair go. And so I did, but I have to say that the movie was not an entertaining one.

Sure, the storyline starts out okay enough, but the narrative quickly comes to a stand still and then just settles into that slump and never gets back on track. And that makes for a rather monotonous and bland viewing experience. And truth be told, then the movie was suffering somewhat from having a low budget feel to it.

I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in "The Overnight", but they did good enough jobs with bringing the story and characters to life on the screen. It was just a shame, though, that the actors and actresses didn't really have much to work with in terms of a properly entertaining storyline and script.

If you enjoy horror movies, then I would not really recommend you waste your time, money or effort on "The Overnight".

My rating of directors Bobby Francavillo and Kevin Rhoades' 2022 horror movie "The Overnight" lands on a generous three out of ten stars.

First off, it's not a terrifying demonic horror movie like the trailer makes it out to be. There's literally nothing in the trailer that indicates it's funny or goofy, but I found myself laughing quite a bit. Actually feel kind of bad for the people who are taking it too seriously. It's more like a satire, full of haunted hotel jokes and off-beat tropes. The guy from Frankenhooker is in it, for heaven's sake.

The Overnight starts pretty generic. An attractive couple going on a romantic trip in the mountains and wind up stranded at some old hotel. Cue the eye-rolls. From there, things start to get progressively weirder. It walks the line between poking fun while paying homage to movies like The Shining and Psycho, similar to the way Cabin in the Woods did to The Evil Dead and Friday the 13th.

The plot twist at the end legitimately thew me off. I won't give anything away, but kudos for not making it too serious and having some fun with the genre. I wouldn't exactly put this on the same shelf as Cabin in the Woods, but if you're in the mood for something a bit campy and spooky, I'd recommend giving it a watch.
