Bad Times at the El Royale review
While the situation may (or may not) have been lifted from Tarantino, the style of writing belongs to writer-director Drew Goddard, who creates a small world with only a passing relationship to our own. Five strangers and a hotel clerk meet at the deserted El Royale, and each has a secret that will be exposed on the long, stormy – and ultimately violent – night that follows. It’s intriguing – if a little slow – to begin with, but runs out of steam with the arrival of Chris Hemsworth as a Manson-like cult leader with the haziest of agendas. There are some decent twists, though – and one truly terrifying jump scare – and Jeff Bridges steals every scene that he’s in.
