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).
"This
Argentinian horror film consistently hits the right creepy points while
exhibiting impressive gory effects created with extremely limited
resources."
Laura Kern, NEW YORK TIMES.
