US thriller, set in the 1960s, in which several guests check in to a rundown hotel.
Bags of fun. Goddard and his cast have a riot in a thriller that dances to its own beat.
A beautifully staged film with everything is in its place, this is both an affectionate homage and a timely commentary, falling only slightly short of its own ambition. Classy pulp fiction.
An atmospheric and air-tight noir.
For all its twisty unexpectedness, it didn’t deliver a really satisfying denouement.
All kinds of good.
As it runs out of steam, the film seems more and more like pastiche Tarantino.
Has all the indulgence of a late-period Tarantino film and none of the depth.
Stuffed with subplots and self-indulgence, this strange second feature stifles its tension.
Take a bow Drew Goddard for following up the successes of Cloverfield, The Cabin In The Woods and The Martian with yet another bloody and rib-tickling blast with depth, poignancy and a soundtrack to literally die for.
