Five city girls must spend the night in an isolated town within the
province
of Buenos Aires,
where they find out more than what the flesh and bone
can stand: the most violent side of local hospitality.
'Rooms for
Tourists' is being hailed 'The first Argentinean shock film', employing
the horror-movie setup of displaced innocents cruelly thrown into the
deadly lairs of homicidal maniacs.
Five young women
find themselves stranded for the night after missing their connecting
train. Their options are limited to either sleeping at the train station
or stay at the rooming house run by two seemingly nice brothers.
By the end of the night both the killers and their victims have concrete
motivations for their actions, which culminates in a surprising
denouement
In Spanish, with English subtitles. Not rated (violence, nudity).
