I am sure this movie makes sense to someone out there...perhaps the writer, the director (who may have written it) the cast even (who includes the director). Alas, it seemed pretty pointless to me. I am guessing they are trying the David Lynch approach or something, but the only true strangeness going on is the very uncanny look of the main actress and Mel Novak. Other than that, it seems to be a movie out of order, with no ending and no reason for being.
The story, well this is going to be hard, seems to almost be nonexistent for the most part. A woman is on the road, trying to get away from her abusive husband, beyond that it is very incoherent. Two hitchhikers are picked up, one strange and one very strange. Both drive with the woman fleeing her husband for a matter of a few minutes before the woman announces she is tired and drops them off. Not sure why she picked up the second one as she had already declared this. She finds the Paradise Hotel, which considering it is the title of the film really does not stand out. Mel Novak as the person running the desk does as the poor man looks greenish, I am thinking his liver may be going out. Woman goes to diner, gets hit on, takes a long shower, stabs girl that was going to stab her I think, things happen before the movie ends with no resolution to anything and nothing really clever to say...
The actors seem very amateur for the most part. Mel Novak I have seen in a few films, you cannot even recognize him from his younger days and he sounds different too. Despite looking ill though, he seems to be chugging along. The only other person I recognize is the lead who appeared in Apex Predators along with Novak, and she looks a bit strange too, but probably due to extensive plastic surgery.
So, I cannot really recommend this film to anyone looking for something suspenseful as this film is not. Looking for a good horror? Well, this one is not that either. Looking for a bad horror? Not sure it can even be classified as a horror, or a thriller or even a parody. However, you may want to watch it out of some morbid curiosity to see just how strange this film is and wonder if there was any meaning behind any of it other than maybe to pass the people who made it days away.
