What The Night Clerk is
Front-desk glow of a cheap hotel lobby at 2 a.m., ice-machine whine over the bookshelf of travel guides. Bart counts room keys like rosary beads while the front desk phone bleats, room 317’s Do Not Disturb light still on. A Hitchcockian thriller that hides its Hitchcock well.
