Nurse Ratched Now Works at the Wessex Hotel!!, Feb 29 2004
This review is from: Nightmare on the 13th Floo (VHS Tape)
As usual, there's too much everybody else, not enough Louise Fletcher. Everything is so mediocre about this film, but at last we get closure to that burning, unresolved question: what happened to Nurse Ratched after she got fired from the crazy house?
Answer: She is now deep into a new, successful career in hospitality administration, managing a team of hotel employees and fulfilling important secretarial duties for Master Satan.
Louise Fletcher's performance is THE reason to watch!

Nightmare on the 13th Floor, Jan 31 2003
This review is from: Nightmare on the 13th Floo (VHS Tape)
Nightmare on the 13th Floor is a rather creepy, very riveting and very suspenseful television movie with some cheesy transition effects, "different" cinematography, and a few rather amateur actors.
Elaine Kalisher is a writer for a travel magazine and is sent to the Wessex Hotel in Los Angeles to write an article. While exploring the hotel, the service lift breaks down on an unmarked 13th floor. There she witnesses a murder, but is assured (when she is awake) by the hotel doctor, that there is no 13th floor. What she discovers is actually really disturbing and very creepy.
This is really not the best movie, nor is it even a good TV movie. But, it does deliver some creepy bits, some good suspense and good set design. I like how this movie sort of gave us extremely good hints to solving the mystery of the masked murderer on the 13th floor and still was impossible for us to really guess who it was.
Overall, I'd say this is a decent film, though I'd really like to change a few things if I could. I'd give it three stars for it's overall good production values, even thought it has some flaws. Pretty good.

A TV rarity!, Aug 4 2002
This review is from: Nightmare on the 13th Floo (VHS Tape)
I was surprised to find that this made-for-cable hotel chiller was creepy...even scary. Although acting may be a little dry, the special effects and action in this mystery make up for the acting. This movie must be good as my mom even likes it. This is a very great item. I love it...buy it!
