Rooms for Tourists

About This Movie

Rooms for Tourists is a bit of a hidden gem in the horror genre. Set in a remote town in Buenos Aires, it’s one of those films that really leans into the unsettling atmosphere. You’ve got these five city girls, and the way the local hospitality turns sinister is both chilling and oddly intriguing. The pacing is deliberately slow, allowing dread to creep in, which I appreciate—it builds that tension beautifully. The practical effects, while not overly flashy, serve the story well, enhancing the raw, visceral moments. The performances feel genuine, almost like you’re peering into these characters' unraveling sanity. It’s distinct in how it captures a rural horror vibe without relying on typical tropes. Definitely worth a watch if you’re into atmospheric horror.
