Motel 666

About This Movie

Motel 666 offers a unique blend of horror and thriller, punctuated by a kind of eerie charm. Directed by Carlos Jiménez Flores, the film toys with the concept of a haunted motel, which Simon, the owner, exploits for profit. The pacing is deliberate, allowing tension to build as the reality TV crew delves deeper into the night. The performances feel grounded, capturing the crew's escalating fear in a believable way. Practical effects are used effectively, enhancing the unsettling atmosphere without relying too heavily on CGI. It’s interesting how it explores themes of greed and deception, all while maintaining that gripping sense of dread that creeps up on you. Not your typical found-footage flick, it has a distinct vibe that lingers long after the credits roll.
