There is of course usual prologue with undecipherable philosophy theatrically delivered by our favorite looney followed by some strange rituals and only then, after nearly 10 minutes, we meet Coffin Joe. He is resurrected from the dead, at least I think so because he rises from the coffin.
He takes over a hotel in some remote village and starts accepting his guests who were all booked without knowing so. Or something, I didn't quite get that part. But it doesn't really matter, hotel is soon full of colorful characters and nothing really major is going on.
Until we realize that they are all ghosts because they all have died of violent deaths some time ago. Ending is cool and without giving it away too much let's just say that this is Mojica's take on Carnival of Souls. Kind of...
It's not bad and it's probably very good if you are into Mojica's strange aesthetic (btw music and sound effects are once again great!). I think it's major flaw is that it isn't neither horror nor mystery so everything becomes a bit boring. Although it's still totally unpredictable so in a way it is mystery because you have no idea wtf is going to happen next.
5/10
