SIX FRIENDS. ONE REMOTE HOTEL. A LONG-OVERDUE REUNION.
WELCOME TO THE HITCHCOCK HOTEL . . .
'Wrobel wittily recreates the mood of creeping suspense and comic horror that makes Hitchcock movies so endlessly entertaining' The Times

Alfred Smettle adores Hitchcock.
And who better to become founder, owner and manager of The Hitchcock Hotel, a remote, sprawling Victorian house sitting atop a hill in the beautiful White Mountains, New England. There, guests can find movie props and memorabilia in every room, round-the-clock film screenings, and an aviary with fifty crows.
For the hotel's first anniversary, Alfred invites the five college friends he studied film with. He hasn't spoken to any of them in sixteen years.
Not after what happened.
But who better to appreciate Alfred's creation?
His guests arrive, and everything seems to go according to plan. Until one glimpses someone standing outside her shower curtain.
Another is violently ill every time she eats the hotel food. Then their mobile phones go missing.
You should always make the audience suffer as much as possible, right?
The guests are stuck in the middle of nowhere, and things are about to get even worse. After all, no Hitchcock set is complete without a dead body.
