Resort Massacre dives into the eerie atmosphere of a secluded inn run by Joey, a troubled character whose backstory is as haunting as the film itself. The narrative unfolds at a slow, deliberate pace, building tension as women mysteriously disappear. The sound design plays a crucial role, echoing Joey's obsession with recording his uncle's disturbing behavior, adding layers to the unsettling vibe. The practical effects here, while not extravagant, offer a gritty authenticity that enhances the overall experience. Performances, especially from the lead, evoke sympathy yet discomfort, which is a tricky balance. This film's exploration of isolation, mental illness, and the hidden darkness in everyday life makes it stand out in the mystery thriller genre.
