Screenwriter Mark L. Smith Smith was driving with his wife on an unlighted highway in New Mexico one day. He noticed that there were many small motels scattered on both sides of the road, and it seemed that there were no guests. Smith was thinking at the time, why they want to open their doors here, and what they rely on to make a living, and thus got the inspiration for the film. Smith knew that in order to make the story both scary and appealing, the key was whether the protagonist could resonate with the audience. He got inspiration from Alfred Hitchcock and realized that the protagonist in the story should be a married couple. A couple whose relationship is at stake. Smith gave the completed screenplay to Brian Pask, the chairman of Hall Lieberman Production Company. The latter was attracted by the story in the screenplay. Not only did he bring the screenplay back to the production company, he also decided to personally act as the producer of the film. People
