The Night Clerk (2020)


Released February 21st in the US.
Filming location(s) unknown.
The story: Bart is a 23-year-old with Asperger syndrome.
He lives with his mom and works the front desk at a popular, local hotel chain.
Everyone that knows Bart thinks he's a very nice guy, even if he's a bit strange.
Bart studies people by bugging the hotel rooms for live video and sound while watching the people inside...
Considering he is socially awkward, studying other people interact helps Bart in his own interactions.
No one knows Bart does this and he intends on keeping it a secret because it will just make him seem odder to people who already think that of him.
One night after returning home from work, Bart witnesses some brutality on a woman who previously checked into the hotel on his shift.
He rushes back to the hotel in an attempt to stop things from getting worse but witnesses a murder instead.
This makes Bart the prime suspect.
Although Bart didn't commit the murder the police believe he knows more than he's saying and quite possibly who the murderer is.
