But the room is still open, and Enslin checks in for the worst night of his life.

Once the room has Enslin in its clutches, it tortures him with visions of dead lodgers and accusing spirits from his own past. There are enough layers of reference to his visions that they could be hallucinations. Is it real? Is it all in his head? Even The Carpenters are in on the act, as the clock radio blares a taunting blast of "We've Only Just Begun."

Director Mikael Hafstrom (the foreign-language Academy Award nominee "Evil") effectively uses many images and noises done to death in the horror genre, bleeding walls and moaning spirits among them. He has a good grasp of building up the character study, giving the audience a nice feel of Enslin's testy personality before he's subjected to a barrage of nightmares.
