The Resort (2021)
I was grateful that the four young people investigating an abandoned Hawaiian holiday resort complex in the hope of finding the ghostly 'half faced girl' weren't the usual irritating bunch and were actually all quite likable, because the first 45 minutes of this 75 minute movie was basically a travelogue of the four making their way to said complex and talking a lot. A hell of a lot.
Once there it all became a bit humdrum supernatural horror by numbers. The actual resort and island setting was a pretty impressive setting, but for all the original use of it that was made other than a single scene, it could have been filmed in any old factory.
A couple of cool slices of gore aside this felt like a failure, even though it was a decently made, nicely acted and watchable failure.
