Leave your thoughts about Bad Times at the El Royale.
| Film ThreatBobby LePireBad Times At The El Royale is creepy and mysterious in all the right ways. The tension builds as the non-sequential story allows the pieces to fall into place in mesmerizing fashion. |
| Discussing FilmBen RolphA riveting tale of seven strangers and a motel. Lead by 60's R&B music, incredible performances and Goddard's extreme precision. |
| MovieCrypt.comKevin A. Ranson... a very tight drama, similar to lock-box horror films where no one escapes until the movie ends and the survivors are tallied... It needs no prequel, no sequel, and is near-perfect as is. |
| The Maine EdgeAllen AdamsImagine a Wes Anderson movie that was 95 percent less twee and really leaned into the darkness and that's kind of close. |
| Flixist.comMatthew RazakGoddard is in his peak genre deconstruction form that made Cabin in the Woods so much fun and The Good Place one of the funniest shows on television. |
| Tolucan TimesTony MedleyEverything about it, the acting, directing, writing, cinematography, you name it, they are all terrific. One thing's for sure, you ain't gonna fall asleep! |
| El Nuevo DíaJuanma Fernández ParísThe first thing you should know is that Goddard does not waste his cast as a writer or as a director. [Full Review in Spanish] |
| NerdistKyle AndersonBad Times at the El Royale is a tremendous work of popular cinema and is smart and innovative to boot. |
| TheFilmFile.comDustin PutmanA deliberately woven tapestry deliciously toying in different tones and genres, the picture marches to the beat of its own deviously methodical drummer. |
| The Weekend WarriorEdward DouglasThis is a surprisingly strong bit of genre filmmaking that solidifies Goddard's placement among the greats. |
