Bad Times at the El Royale

Slow pacing hinders this original, unpredictable, dark, well-acted, violent, star-dotted (Nick Offerman, Katherine Isabelle, Manny Jacinto, and Jim O'Heir), Tarantino-esque 140-minute thriller in which a duplicitous priest (Jeff Bridges), a vacuum cleaner salesmen (Jon Hamm), an African-American soul singer (Cynthia Erivo), and two sisters (Dakota Johnson and Cailee Spaeny) arrive at a dilapidated Lake Tahoe hotel, run by an anxiety-prone manager (Lewis Pullman) in 1969 where secrets are revealed and all hell breaks loose when a hunky cult leader (Chris Hemsworth) shows up.
