As a seasoned gamer and movie enthusiast who’s seen his fair share of thrillers, I can confidently say that Bad Times at the El Royale is a hidden gem worth uncovering.

Besides Chris Hemsworth, who plays the character of Billy Lee in an overlooked thriller, the film also features Cynthia Erivo, appearing in her second movie role following Steve McQueen’s film “Widows.
Moreover, if Hemsworth and Erivo weren’t already attractive enough to draw audiences, the film “Bad Times at the El Royale” also boasts an impressive cast that includes Jeff Bridges, Jon Hamm, Dakota Johnson, Cailee Spaeny, Lewis Pullman, and Nick Offerman.
In spite of boasting a talented cast and receiving favorable critiques, the 2018 thriller fell short at global box offices, earning just $32 million, suggesting that it was due for a significantly larger success.
