HOTEL
78 MIN
2004
Irene takes a position at a hotel deep in the woods of the Austrian Alps. She soon discovers that the girl she replaced vanished mysteriously and fears that her life is at stake. A disturbing journey through mystery and anguish reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock and David Lynch, empowered by a very personal vision of terror.
