This rather obscure but enjoyable none the less horror is an interesting little creature.
It tells the story of a hotel with no 13th floor where people keep mysteriously vanishing. Well when our heroine is involved in an accident and believes she see's a man murdered she sets about investigating.
I liked the idea, it's original and quite fascinating. Is it utilized to it's potential? No, not so much but it's such a good idea it survives regardless.
This is one of the those movies which could do with being remade. Not because the original isn't enjoyable, but because the original is obscure and perhaps didn't get the break it deserves.
Flawed but enjoyable little tale.
The Good:
Very original
Some great ideas
The Bad:
Odd final scene
Doesn't flow all that well
Things I Learnt From This Movie:
Most hotels don't have a 13th floor, even the ones that actually do
Ageing has a department
Counting floors while in the elevator is a skill only law professionals can manage
