Screener Flix: Ravenwolf Towers- Episode 1 (Bad Mary)

Watch Full Moon for free, you say?  It isn't Evil Bong or Gingerdead Man, you say?  Alright...
In this Anthology Feature, we are introduced to a strange Hotel that is mostly rented out by weirdos.  This blank-faced guy is the new Assistant Manager and will serve as our Viewpoint Character.
Since this is the first of 7 Segments, not much will actually be explained here.  Here's a SPOILER-Free Rundown for you...

A 'little person' who rents the Room and sees things with these goggles...
A strange Family that rents a whole Floor.  I like to think that these are what the creatures from Wrong Turn would look like if Tommy Wiseau was the Dad...
Mr. Mascaro from Blood Dolls is here!  He...just kind of pops his head out of a door a few times.
This Scientist guy with some weird gizmos.  What exactly is he up to?
Finally, what kind of strange things are the Family up to and who is the titular Mary?  To find out, watch the Feature.
Considering it is all set-up, it is still pretty good.  I have a love-hate relationship with Full Moon.  They used to make interesting, but silly Films.  In the last Decade or so, they have made a whole lot of, well, bad Films.  I just haven't cared all that much about their endless Evil Bong and Gingerdead Man Films.  Can you blame me?  I still want to give them a chance, so I decided to watch the Screener they solicited for their new Anthology Film (of sorts).  For the most part, it sets up some interesting scenarios that I'm curious to see play out.  As stated, it is the first part of seven (to be released every Full Moon, apparently), so we'll see how things go.  They don't go for silly nonsense here, so that's a good start.  I will note that they go right for boobs (and a mostly-pointless Opening Kill) right away...
Decently-built stuff from Full Moon that is thankfully free of 'humor.'  Can they make it work long-term?  I hope so.
