I'm really surprised this movie didn't get a lot of buzz. It's got an A-list cast, slick production, and is written by the guy behind Cabin in the Woods. But it came and went with barely a flicker.Four strangers check in to the El Royale hotel, a once luxurious getaway with the curious gimmick of being half in California and half in Nevada. None of them are what they appear to be and over the course of the night, secrets are revealed, blood is spilled, and all of their lives are profoundly changed.
Also, Chris Hemsworth is nearly naked for the majority of his scenes. That's not really germane to the plot but might be of interest to some of you readers.
I think this is going to end up being one of those cult classics that people trot out in ten years as proof of their cinephile bonafides. It has that neon-drenched Pulp Fiction kind of vibe but with more nuance.
