The Hitchcock Hotel follows Alfred Smettle who owns The Hitchcock Hotel. He loves Hitchcock and the hotel is a shrine to him with film screenings, memorabilia and an aviary with fifty crows. On the hotel’s first anniversary Alfred decides to invite the college friends he studied film with after not seeing each other for 16 years. Everything is fine until weird things start happening such as mobile phones going missing and food being poisoned. The guests are trapped in the hotel and someone is determined to make their stay as similar to a Hitchcock movie as possible.

I thought this would be creepier than it was considering the vibes of Hitchcock. This was a pretty basic thriller and it wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be. On the other hand the writing was good, the story was easy to read and the characters were okay.

This was just really good fun.
I loved the idea of a whole hotel devoted to Hitchcock, and felt I learnt a bit about him along the way.
The cast of 6 were mostly unlikeable, but that's mainly due to their toxic friendship and how they view each other. I do love a good toxic relationship in a story!
Some nice surprises along the way, and a few creepy moments.
The pacing felt spot on to me.
I'll be recommending this one to others ASAP.
