The supporting cast is star-studded: Myha’la, from Bodies Bodies Bodies, is involved in darkly humorous peril, Tom Felton returns as a villain leading a disastrous search party, and Patricia Arquette (Severance) plays the hotel boss orchestrating the hunt.
Produced by Andy and Barbara Muschietti of IT fame, the film is the first release from Skydance’s Nocturna, a new horror label, with Kirill Sokolov (Why Don’t You Just Die?) directing. The trailer teases flaming axes, extreme violence, and high-energy action throughout the hotel’s lavish corridors.
