i watch this movie purely for the setting . it be film in an old hotel that a friend own share of . the plot be predictable and the acting be mediorcre at best and the scare be all gross out and not true scare . i do not remember much of the plot and and i think that because there wasn not much of one to remember . they do not even use the hotel to it full potential . the beach be fantastic and the hotel be situate on a peninsula . at low tide and you can walk almost 1/4 mile into the bay and which be actually an eerie sight first thing in the morning or late at night when the wind be howl through the crack . the best way to see this movie be with the remote in your hand so you can fast forward through the action ( and i be use that term loosly ) scene and pause at the beauty of the surroundings .
