Bad Things
Directed by Stewart Thorndike
When a group of friends escape the city to spend the weekend in an abandoned hotel, a pervading eerie energy begins to illuminate the cracks in their little family unit. Ruthie Nodd (Gayle Rankin) inherits the hotel from her grandmother and with bad childhood memories threatening to burst to the surface, Ruthie wants to sell the hotel and never return. But her partner Cal (Hari Nef) drags her there in the hopes of returning it to its former glory. They are joined by their amiable friend Maddie (Rad Pereira) and mysterious grifter Fran (Annabelle Dexter-Jones). As the friends dance, cook, flirt, and fight, they find themselves entwined in the hotel’s seductive embrace and start doing bad things to each other.
A weekend getaway for a few friends at a snowy resort becomes a psychological tailspin and bloody nightmare.
Cast: Gayle Rankin, Hari Nef, Annabelle Dexter-Jones, Rad Pereira

I liked this one it kept me guessing the wrong killer every time . If u like the Shining & the Texas chainsaw massacre good for u . I gave this one 5 skulls
so bad
One of the best movies I've seen on Shudder. The ambiance is perfection. I did watch it while snowed in so it was a real treat. I have not seen another film quite like this aside from The Shining.
This movie is terrific—it’s a slow burn. It is a Shining homage, but also very much its own thing: there are no real surprises but the execution is just spot on, and the sound design is SPOOKY and UNNERVING, that little woodblock noise is so effective! And it is amazing always to see Molly Ringwald! I am looking forward to the third movie in the director’s trilogy.
fun and disturbing psychosis
