"The Lost Room (2006)
Starring Peter Krause, Julianna Margulies, Peter Jacobson
The Lost Room
This 2006 mini-series, which debuted on the Sci-Fi channel, is the only time Belen appears in a movie as a major urban area. In The Lost Room’s Episode 5, Belen stands in for Washington, DC.
The scene cuts from some city, possibly Washington, DC, with the caption “Washington, D.C.” on it to the actual streets of Belen. Again, Hollywood finds itself at the intersection of Becker Avenue and Second Street, with the Belen Hotel in the background, urban decay littering the streets, and the Central Hotel in the foreground. The Central Hotel is a rundown apartment building where one of the key objects being sought in the movie is located. The mini-series makes no effort to remove the reference to Belen on the neon Belen Hotel sign in the background."
The plot synopsis is pretty straightforward: (

"A detective investigates a mysterious motel room, which acts as a portal to an alternate universe."
Looks like something Blasterz might like :)
