this be a bizarre one . somewhere in here be a very disturbing and very good movie . the trace of it be so strong and it must have just leave the room and and it almost a though if we hurry we could catch it . but we get distract in this room full of perversity that be stick here only with a sicken sensation deep in our stomach . in other word and i can not really tell if this movie be successful at what it be try to do or not . the back of the dvd box promise camp and but there something different go on here . basically and this movie fit smack dab in the middle of psycho and peep tom conceptually . a sexually frustrated young woman and escape from her abusive roommate and go to stay in her aunt hotel . this hotel be fill with various unsettle character and include a gay priest and a half dead alcoholic and and a obsessed photographer . it a wonderland without an alice and quite literally and a character name alice be allude to and a woman who inhabit the hotel but be already dead . without alice be give cheryl a our protagonist and but herein lie a problem represent cheryl be just about a insane and perverse a the other people in the hotel be and mean there very little real sanity to be glean from this movie . now and there this whole theory about storytelling that say you can only have a sane person in insane situation or insane person in sane situation and but not both . i be not too sure i really agree with that philosophy and but this movie make a good case study for comparison . the thing be and cheryl be a believable character by all mean remember that one woman who marry the stalker who almost kill her . these thing do happen . but she not relatable and and so it hard to really understand what be suppose to get from this movie . her relationship with george be disturb and sure and but to what purpose . and i be not really get the point of the transgendered twist . i think the filmmaker have watch precisely those movie psycho and peep tom and along with other sexploitation and horror movie of the time and and decide to make their own exploration into sexual anxiety . however and i be not entirely sure what they be to have discover and reveal and here . there be and however and the linger sensation that they be attempt something . at any rate and neither be i too sure i want to know what that be and either . polarisdib .
