REVIEWS
“Green, filming for the first time in her native Australia, displays such a sure hand with the movie’s tone that even her brief slips into genre cliché inflict minimal damage.“
“You will walk out of the pitch-black of the theatre startled by the brightness outside, unsettled that Green has shone a harsh light on a dark truth always known to be true.“
“The Royal Hotel is a horror movie but don’t expect any jump-cuts, scary masks or serial killers. It’s more like the horror that dawns on a frog when it realizes it is being boiled alive.“
