Motel

 

 (themoviedb.org)

NIGHT SHIFT-2023-A young woman named Gwen (Phoebe Tonkin) takes a job on the overnight shift at an isolated motel. After getting the run-down of the place from Teddy (Lamorde Morris), the owner, she settles in. Almost immediately after he leaves, weird things start to happen. There's one mysterious female guest, strange noises and an ominous phone call from an empty room. A car drives by several times. She strikes up a friendship with Alice (Madison Hu), the female guest. Later, an S & M couple show up and Gwen falls into the unused pool. She sees ghosts. Alice tells Gwen the motel is one of the most haunted places around. She in turn tells Alice about a guy who murdered her sisters and tried to kill her. He was in jail but broke out recently. 

Toward the end, the story changes gear a little and gets typically gory and mean spirited and the ending isn't that great but not a bad effort (even though you'll be able to guess what's really going on). Written and directed by two brothers from the UK, Benjamin and Paul China.
