The premise

A group of friends take refuge in an island hotel decorated for New Year's. The problem is, it's early summer, and soon enough, even the walls themselves are striking out against them.

Horror Vault's take

When a group of young friends are stranded on a remote island after a boating mishap, they seek shelter in a grand hotel inexplicably still decked out for New Year's Eve — in the middle of summer. Something is deeply wrong with this place, and the building itself seems intent on making sure none of them leave. What starts as eerie wrongness escalates into relentless, deadly chaos as the hotel's walls close in around them. This scrappy British horror entry blends supernatural menace with old-fashioned gore to keep things lively.
