  • A very violent movie for gorehounds.Better than the original.
To me this remake of the original classic is actually better than the original,Tobe Hooper does the directing and producing of this gory slice of horror. Set in Hollywood this movie is about a hotel that was built over 80 years prior to the time frame of where the film is set. Starts out with Sheri Moon buying a paper and going to her hotel room and gets murdered almost instantly. Fast forward a bit and we meet a couple who are moving into the hotel for their time in town because her boyfriend is a practicing Dr. Who has been relocated and is always working,his girlfriend Nell starts hearing strange sounds and seeing strange markings etched into the wall. She sees that the landlord or building super is weird and so is his assistant who does the repairs is also a bit off. She gets creeped out but meets a friend who is always running and she does it everyday like clockwork,she does an online chat thing and the kid across the hall likes to watch her. The girl and Nell are supposed to go running but she disappears,without a trace. The super claims that the building is old and it is Hollywood,people come and go so it is nothing strange. Nell starts searching around and finds out that the bulding was made by a guy who practiced dark arts and black magic. The building was shut down because too many people started dying and it was closed,the girl searches some more and finds out that the guy who built it was never found. She meets a guy with town records and he shows her that their is a hidden room throughout the building,because every floor is missing 1 room that is walled off. She realizes that people keep disappearing and she calls the cops several times and they keep showing up to find nothing,yet the people keep disappearing and the blood is certianly flowing. The boyfriend of Nell is hardly ever in the movie until the end and when he is he keeps saying don't worry. She spots the neighbor kid spying on the girl with his laptop and camera,the markings on the walls are spells to keep him alive. The guy is almost 170 years old and he is into taking bodies from this hotel and killing them in the most violent of ways. Nailgunned to the ceiling,drill to the head,powdered lye on the face of the doorman. A pair of bolt cutters to the spine of the super,people getting sawed in half and dismembered. Trust me this movie is way more brutal,eerie and all around indane than the original version. The movie will not disappoint you,if you are a gorehound or a fan of Tobe Hooper's films or just like the original film you will enjoy this one. The film is amazing,so much vicious images and so many plot twists to keep you entertained and at the edge of your seat. Don't listen to the negative reviews just take the 88 minutes out and watch the film,it will not disappoint. It will keep you guessing until the end,and the ending is insane. ... show more

  • Very underrated
I had heard negative things about this movie so I avoided it for years. I’m so glad I took a chance on this. It’s really good. Creepy atmosphere. Great characters. Some decent kills. Fantastic ending. This is so much better than the original in my opinion. Great horror film

  • A good killer that more people should know about
This is a good thriller / slasher. The killer looks cool and he uses a variety of weapons to kill. It is such a shame that Toolbox Murders 2 isn't on the same level as this one!

  • Angela Bettis and me are TOTALLY hangin tight! jk
Why do I love this movie? Shall I count the ways? (yes) 1. Angela Bettis=Best. Scream. Queen. EVER! What is the magic in her that makes me vastly entertained by just watching her get stressed? And then she appears in this pair of spectacles that make her look like a bug...! You know what? I actually feel like she's my best friend. 2. Shades of Dante Tomaselli Everywhere! And this is not the only time. It's been happening a lot. Movies like Scar, Visible Scars, several others I can't quite recall, but all of them with at least the feel of being the work of young and brilliant talent--and they all have this rambling nature. No one can match the way that Tomaselli paints animated poems out of stale horror tropes that are all of a sudden alive again, alive and change, having undergone a sea change into something toxic and hideous. Now Tobe Hooper maybe don't need to learn from nobody, but maybe it's one master exploring the other's world, or maybe two geniuses arriving at the same place. 3. TIGHT! Not a frame wasted. Every scene has a plum surprise at its core. The sign of a good director is he's always thinking, agonizing over variations of, "Okay, we have the luggage coming out of the trunk. Do I show it being placed on the ground? And if so, why?" Every second counts and Tobe Hooper never botches a one of them! 4. Best killer I've seen in a long time. Face it, even in good movies, sometimes what's behind the mask isn't worth the wait. But this time, hoo-boy! What, is that not enough for you? WATCH THE FILM!!!!!!! ... show more

  • I was disappointed With This One
I had such I hopes for this movie especially since I heard the original SUCKED. I actually got into it in the beginning to the middle. It is gory but duh it's a slasher film. I always thought the killer was someone who worked in the apartment building but I was so wrong. This is when I was turned off by the movie, it just got weird. It wasn't anyone from the building, but it was someone or something. I was like WTF, and it started out pretty good too. I don't know about you, but rent before U buy this one, you might be disappointed. Kris L. CocKayne ... show more

  • Tenant's Worst Nightmare
This remake kicked major ass! A couple move into a decrepit apartment building and discover the buildings renovations stir up a sadistic murderer who is lurking in the building and begins to brutally murder the other tenants with power tools. Angela Bettis plays one of the new tenants who discovers the dark secret of the building. Tobe Hooper did a great job with this one and had a pretty decent cast, including Sheri Moon Zombie. Definitely worth buying! ... show more
