Four young adult friends go to an abandoned Hawaiian resort hotel complex reportedly haunted by the urban legend Half-Faced Girl.
My guess is that they had this place before writing up a plot. This is not a complicated plot. I could do without the hospital scenes which has the survivor problem. I don't mind the twist but it's not that interesting. I do like the abandoned hotel at night. It's very much like urban exploration. Of course, there is the scene where the hot young bods are frolicking at the waterfall. As a horror, it's rather weak. The filmmaking is poor and the acting is pedestrian.

abandoned hotel horror
Poorly strung together cliches
Stock college characters heading to a haunted resort. Nothing happens much other than the characters being annoying. Then the haunted part happens. And looks on the level of a Lifetime movie CGI. Confusing and not well made.
Divided
Didn't have high hopes for this one as I do with most Straight-To-DVD Films, but this one was a little divided with me weirdly enough.
The film follows a group who go off to a notorious Resort which has been shut down & abandoned for many years due to supernatural occurrences going on at the hotel, especially in room 306 which is supposedly the worst! But what the group find is far beyond what they are expecting!
I found the film to be weirdly not as bad as thought. The cinematography is pretty good along with the location, which really does set the scene & give you the idea that something creepy & sinister took place there!
The deaths were pretty good & gory too! Which was another plus, but the length & ending were the 2 biggest downers for me! The film plods along at a steady enough pace but then swiftly goes off the rails & ends! It's almost like the film makers gave up!
The film is way too short at only 1 hour & 7 minutes! There could've been at least 13-15 minutes worth of footage to beef the film up more, maybe a bit of a backstory to the resort hotel with supernatural occurrences before they shut it down? Or more prolonged deaths & chase sequences? Or maybe a bit more in terms of seeing the "Half-Faced Girl" in proper close ups & for a couple of seconds so the viewer can see her? I don't know, the film felt rushed & incomplete!
But overall it's tough to say as again the visuals, gore & creepy abandoned resort hotel setting really sold it to me! But the end climax & it's rapidly fast crashing conclusion just ruined it for me!
5/10.
