Even bad horror movies can have their pleasures, and here it's Kilmer who gives "The Super" a kick.

It offers a few decent scares as well as the opportunity for Val Kilmer to once again display his unique brand of screen charisma.

How surprising the story's twist ending turns out to be depends on how thoroughly steeped in horror moves the viewer is, but it's well executed down to small details.

The Super has the occasional moment of great horror filmmaking - but not enough to make it a super film.

It's not without its charms and you could certainly do worse, but don't expect too much from The Super.

"I was in The motherf**king Wire!" I imagine that thought was running through the head of Paul Ben-Victor as he grouched his way through The Super.

Most horror movies are about 15 minutes too long, but this atmospheric film could've have used an additional a quarter of an hour, in order to flesh out the story. Set in a hotel so creepy that it makes The Overlook seem like a nursery school, Val Kilmer plays a janitor who practices "Ukrainian voodoo". This has to be one of his strangest performances. I didn't anticipate the twist near the end, but some things still don't make sense at all.

Terrible acting! A lot of of false alarms. Kilmer did the best acting with the lame role that he had.

It made zilch sense. Too many plot holes. I love Val Kilmer though.

SPOILER WARNING The ending makes no sense as throughout the movie others directly refer to Rose and are introduced to her. This is a major plot hole and ruined an otherwise good movie IMO. Beverly's actions at the end also make no sense because whether she believes Violet's account of the events from 7 years ago or Rose's account, Rose would be dead in either case and thus Walter's ritual casting Rose out of the living world would make sense.
