The idea of a couple paranormal investigators checking out an abandoned property in the middle of the woods is nothing new. But this time it’s in Spain, so stuff that in your pipe and smoke it. Opening credits play over cut scenes from a History Channel Halloween special. Hugo introduces us to what he and his buddy Carlos have been doing for the last couple years of their young lives. You guessed it, they explore abandoned places and film it. Hugo shares that they weren’t really expecting anything of interest to happen when they journeyed to the isolated hotel but here we are and this is the footage from the fateful night. Spoiler! Their definition of “interesting” does not fall in line with mine. Replays and enhanced audio are thrown in throughout the movie and the visual narration from Hugo and Carlos pops up frequently. It’s basically like you’re watching a ghost hunting show with a very small budget and a murder revelation that hits like a wet feather. So… not worth the journey. There’s a wonderful setting for the urban exploration tomfoolery but an empty building is still just an empty building and dereliction can only keep me interested for so long. For what it is, it’s fine but that’s not a recommendation.
