Sometimes a movie has every quality it should have to succeed, but ultimately falls by the wayside. Bad Times at the El Royale, the brain-child of otherwise bankable filmmaker Drew Goddard, is one such example. Goddard, who wrote, directed, and produced the noir thriller, is an Academy-Award winner for the screenplay of The Martian and penned extremely popular thrillers like World War Zand Cloverfield. He also wrote episodes of cultural landmark television shows like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Lost.
