The building is in pitiful state, as is Dave and any remaining family members still residing there. Filthy, broken, moldy, and withering away; everything is crumbling down. It\u2019s not until he finally accepts a female guest for a night and goes along with the revamping project for the hotel into more of a nightclub\/bar scene that absurd and even stranger characters than Dave himself begin to clutter his hotel, throwing him into a world of unknown experiences.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168707\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-5.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-5-310x174.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-5-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>The hotel itself sets the mood for the entire film. Its lugubrious, unwelcoming atmosphere is the complete opposite of what a standard hotel\u2019s vibes are supposed to give off. Dirty, nasty and gloomy are just a few of many adjectives to describe the entirety of what is presented onscreen by writer\/director Stefan Lernous in his feature film debut. The attention to detail in ensuring that the decrepit visuals force the audience to cringe is impressive. The lighting is always very faint and morbid, not helping the already unflattering pale look on Dave and most of the characters. <span id=\"more-168706\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168711\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-4.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-4-310x174.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-4-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>First half of the film seems very dull, lifeless and without a soul (a little like our main character), but you just can\u2019t seem to turn your eyes away, wondering what gross or eyebrow-raising anomaly shall be presented next. The musical score, which seems to return often throughout the film (almost like a running gag), was as odd as the film itself and may remind you of the over-the-top soundtrack from 2016\u2019s absurd \u201cThe Greasy Strangler\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168709\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-2.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-2-310x174.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-2-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Oddly enough (as if the whole movie wasn\u2019t strange, as is), the plot doesn\u2019t seem to have a specific direction as to where it\u2019s headed for the first hour or so. Things seem to begin to have a purpose when Dave meets Nora and the hotel has a whole makeover, but sadly, the strangeness seems to stomp down its pedal to the metal. A whole buffet of eccentric, uncanny characters are thrown into the mix, yet to no avail or purpose. The movie seems to fall into an \u201cexperimental\u201d mindset a little too far, like a symbolic, psychedelic acid trip as the storyline (or what consisted of it) seems to spiral out of control. Despite being partly categorized as a \u201chorror\u201d film, Lernous film only gets to a truly horrific scene, albeit comedic, with roughly 20 minutes left in the film, which is a bit of a letdown. Once the movie had established its grim, trashy atmosphere, perhaps a walk on an even darker (not trippy) side may have helped spice up the script, as the scene implicating some gruesome gore was quite entertaining.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-168710\" src=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"550\" height=\"309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-3.jpg 550w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-3-310x174.jpg 310w, https:\/\/horrornews.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Hotel-Poseidon-2021-MOVIE-3-100x56.jpg 100w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\"\/><\/p>\n<p>While the first half of \u201c<strong>Hotel Poseidon<\/strong>\u201d was quite the visual eye-candy in terms of depravity, decay and just simply sucking the soul out of you, in addition to some despicable and pitiful characters being presented onscreen, the latter portion of the Belgian film fizzles into incomprehension and mind-bending absurdity. Without spoiling anything, the ending remains quite open-ended, and while some may debate that it allows the audience to interpret it in any way they feel is appropriate, others would argue that it might be somewhat of a frustrating and unsatisfying conclusion. For its disgustingly appealing first half alone, Stefan Lernous\u2019 movie still deserves a look from your part, and who knows? If a trippy, out-of-control script is your thing, then perhaps the entire movie may be quite the ultimate satisfaction for you. Nonetheless, check it out, as it receives a score of 6\/10.<\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
