Sorry to disappoint you but the movie only recently came out in South African theaters and is in Afrikaans with English subtitles. 
The title is Wolwedans in die Skemer which translates in English to "Wolfdance in the Evening", based on the book by Leon van Nierop.
The movie is basically about a young woman, Sonja Daniel who crashes her car near the spectacular Hotel Njala and loses her memory.
Upon her arrival at the hotel, she gets involved with an obsessed family whose lives are controlled by this spooky, eerie hotel. She also quickly discovers that family secrets and an obsession with the past haunt and control their every move.
Sonja then meets the mysterious Jan Joubert, husband of the owner of the hotel, Diana Joubert. But she is especially fascinated by his two daughters, Adéle and Maggie, who live in fear and fascination of their reclusive father and is controlled by his anger and obsessions.
Sonja soon falls in love with the enigmatic Ryno Lategan, a tour guide who befriends her and promises to help her regain her memory. But when a vicious axe murderer starts terrorizing Sonja, she realizes that she has some strange connection to this hotel in her past and that this connection could cost her her life.
Things change when an eccentric investigator, Lieutenant Conrad Nolte and his assistant, Sergeant Berta van Schalkwyk, start investigating the murders at Hotel Njala and make some startling discoveries that even shock these two hardened investigators.
Long description but it was a pretty awesome movie, a bit bloody, but awesome!!! If you really want to be scared by a movie I suggest that you watch The Messengers, I heard it was fantastic!
