Bad Times at the El Royale (out Oct 11) is an entertaining thriller from writer-director Drew Goddard (Cabin in the Woods) about a group of strangers, all who are carrying secrets, who spend a night at a run-down hotel in Tahoe. There are some great performances but the real star of the film is the hotel itself. This was damn good fun! Grade: A-.
