The Resort
Four friends head to Hawaii to investigate reports of a haunting at an abandoned resort in hopes of finding the infamous Half-Faced Girl. When they arrive, they soon learn you should be careful what you wish for.
Why it matters
A slow-burn haunted resort tale that leans on atmosphere and a classic ghost story setup but struggles to deliver lasting chills.
- Hawaiian island setting offers lush visuals rarely seen in haunted house fare.
- The Half-Faced Girl myth taps into folk horror’s ghost story tradition, though the payoff is uneven.
- Fans of mood-driven scares may appreciate the build, but expect a long wait before the frights arrive.
- The police flashback subplot feels unnecessary, diluting the tension rather than enhancing it.
