Plot

Promising torture', pain' and perversion' Hotel is a vampire cannibal thriller from Mike Figgis and an all-star cast. Not the best use of talent from the likes of Ifans, Hayek and Burrows, Figgis sets this thriller in a hotel that is taken over by a film crew set to film a version of the Duchess of Malfi. Eventually it becomes clear that the crew and guests are not in charge in this hotel however and as the night comes the vampires and cannibals among the staff begin to take over. Bizarre sex and horrific scenes of violence this is a nutty film that couldn't be salvaged despite the cast and the director.
