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

Well that was hard to watch
Boring. Not enough actual horror elements to make it worth the watch. Stop putting cool queer people in uninspired pieces. We've got a lot more depth, do better.
Very clear Shining influence but a fun watch!
pyscho-sexually deranged (in a good way), eerie and grim. creepy and terrifying, plus a small and strong cast with great chemistry.
Worth a watch. Definitely a The Shining dupe. I wish the director would've taken more chances, but overall a decent enough B movie.
