3.5*/5.0*

Another famous classic reworked (or reimagined) as a contemporary streamer flick. The concept hasn't changed too much (in a remote inn, a whole bunch of different people gather, each on a mission of their own), this film throws in a few more fantasy elements though, which spreads out the focus.

The CG is a little problematic and the plot isn't all that interesting, but the setting is lush and there are some fun action sequences. The usual drama that builds up between the different people there is also amusing, but the film isn't quite as good as its 90s counterpart. Still a lot of fun though, if you like this type of thing.
