Product Description

ROOMS FOR TOURISTS (HABITACIONES PARA TURISTAS) tells a story of hotel horror, exhuming Hitchcock and The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, with a distinctively rural Argentinean flavor. Director Adrián García Bogliano captures a dark story of lies and consequences, choices and repentance.

Five girls, strangers to each other, travel to a small town near Buenos Aires to catch a train to an even more isolated spot. They arrive only to discover they have missed their connection. Forced to spend the night at a hostel for tourists owned by two brothers, they will become victims of bloody justice. This is more than what the flesh and blood can stand: the dark side of local hospitality.

Customer Reviews

stunning micro-budget debut!
Director Adrian Garcia Bogliano does terrific work here
on a shoestring budget. Finely crafted screenplay. I liked the editing, score, perfomances; just a nice job all around.

Bogliano is probably better than most filmmakers working in the genre today.

The only minus, and I hate to even bring this up, because it's obvious they had next to no money, it seems it was shot on Hi-8 (or something). It's also B&W. Now, mind you, I don't mind Black & White at all, but the picture is not as sharp as it ought to be, etc. Like I said, though, this is a very minor complaint.

RE: Extras. Don't expect much. No commentary, no behind the scenes--and it's too bad. Would have been interesting to hear what the filmmakers had to say.

Bottom line: one of the better scare flicks in some time.
