Audience Member This is another teen scare movie that slowly builds and has predictable moments. The plot is simple. This is like many of the movies of this year. Ultimately crappy Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/03/23 Full Review Audience Member Pray for Morning seems to offer an original twist on he haunted house paradigm but then becomes the most boring, repetitive piece of crap ever. At the one-hour mark, I felt like it had been on for three times that length. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I have one qestion: how does such an amazing actor, Jackson Rathbone end up in such a god awful film? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member i really liked this movie...jackson rathbone was awesome in it...and very cute... Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member A gang of inquisitive teens break into an abonded hotel with a bloody past. But when they find a severed mummified hand, the wake an evil that will stop at nothing to kill them all. This is your generic 'teens spend a night in a haunted building' type of movie that you have seen countless times before with a couple of ideas from The Shining thrown in for good measure. The characters and acting are bulk standard, but the inclusion of genre great Udo Kier in the cast does bring a bit of class to the proceedings. The sets are very well designed and really brings the idea of the rotting hotel to mind. The gore is minimal, and at most is a few broken bones and a lot of people covered in varying amounts of blood. The story is very hackneyed, and tries hard to be more than the sum of it;s parts. In the end this is nothing new, and not a bad movie if you are looking to watch something that you really don't have to think about. Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 02/17/23 Full Review Audience Member A cast of young actors from 90210, American Pie's Bandcamp and Twilight meet a ghostly Udo Kier in a haunted hotel and he makes their lives miserable by magically breaking their bones. And really, who could blame poor, puffy old Udo, who staggers through this role with an expression that looks like he's waiting for his paycheck. Eight teenagers decide to spend the night of graduation at the abandoned Royal Crescent hotel, where some other teenagers were slaughtered and mutilated 25 years before. We learn later on that one of those victims was the brother of one of the girls in the current crop, and she cries about it quite a bit, but never explains why she'd want to go back when she knows about what happened the last time. We get a lot of things that don't make much sense here, such as two characters having a fight over a mutual girlfriend while literally running from ghosts, or a character who insists that his screaming friend is "joking" when one of the group was found in a bleeding, crumpled heap just moments before. And there's a teen who was somehow the son of the hotel's owner, who died in 1921. Huh? Udo Kier is the villain. He's the ghost of a hotel entertainer, a magician, who the hotel owner killed back in the 20's. His hands were chopped off and hidden separate from the body to prevent him from coming back to life. And he had the Book of Hades, which contains some of the worst poetry you'd ever want to hear. Maybe that's why Kier constantly has a look of bemusement on his face. Or maybe he's just wondering how he could have wound up in a lame teen-scream haunted house flick. This flick is basically "The Shining" meets "The Wizard of Gore" meets "The Hills." Pray for closing credits. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 01/30/23 Full Review Read all reviews
