Synopsis
The story takes place on a rainy night when a storm rages, roads are blocked, communications are cut off, and 11 strangers are forced to gather in a motel.
They are: actress Caroline and her personal driver Ed (John Cusack) , a newly married couple Xiaolu and Ginny, little boy Timsey and mother Alice, stepfather George, A police officer Rhodes and his prisoners, a prostitute Paris and the hotel owner Larry.
It's like an island cut off from the outside world, and that's how the mysterious serial killings begin.
Ed, Lord, and Larry found Caroline dead in a front-loading washing machine. It was terrifying.
The strangest thing was that there was a sign next to her body, the number 10 of this hotel .
Room 10 was home to Lord and his prisoner, so they guessed whether the murderer might be the prisoner.
The three rushed to Rhodes' room and found that the prisoner locked by the toilet had disappeared .
Ed quickly gathered everyone together, and after telling them the truth, he, Rhodes, and Larry were going to look for the prisoners nearby.
But no one listened to Ed's words at all, and everyone didn't realize the danger, and soon went their separate ways.
Soon, the second murder happened, Xiaolu died in the room, and the number 9 number was placed next to his body .
But the good news is that they finally found the prisoner in an old hut next to the hotel.
After catching the prisoner, they tied him to the front desk of the hotel and let Larry take care of him, but unexpectedly, the prisoner became the third deceased, with the number 8 in his arms .
And Larry, who was in charge of looking after him, claimed that he went back to the office temporarily for something.
This reason was not enough to convince everyone, and he was immediately identified as the first suspect.
Seeing that he was speechless, Larry suddenly took out a knife and grabbed Paris next to him, trying to escape with her as a hostage.
But because the movement was too big, he accidentally bumped into the freezer behind him. Unexpectedly, there was a frozen corpse inside .
While everyone was shocked, Larry pushed Paris away, ran into a car next to him, and was about to drive away.
After starting, he slammed on the accelerator, but in a panic, the car rushed towards Timsey.
Just as he hit him immediately, George rushed out and pushed Timsey away, but he was hit by the car against the wall, killing him on the spot.
At the same time, the car could not move at all. Larry was tied up by everyone, but he still did not admit that he was the murderer. The most terrifying thing was that there was a number 7 number next to George ...
Video Analysis
The film is very classic and a well-known suspense work. The atmosphere of the film is excellent, the script structure is rigorous , and the storyline is fairly simple and easy to understand. It is very suitable for beginners to watch suspense films. , I believe that many viewers will like the genre of suspense after watching this movie.
The story of the film itself is somewhat similar to "no one alive" , where several strangers die one by one in isolated places. The content itself is very attractive, and as the layers go deeper, we will find that the director is in the plot. A lot of details are set up, suggesting that this "killing game" is not as simple as we thought.
The first is the sudden heavy rain, which submerged all around, turning the hotel in the main scene of the film into an island, which is almost impossible in reality, so the director has already given hints at the beginning. Then there is the cause of the car accident. When the prostitute Paris rummaged through her suitcase to find a lighter, a lot of clothes were blown away by the wind, including the high heels that caused the car accident. I can't help but wonder if these high heels are made of paper? It could be blown away by the wind.
With the development of the plot, there are more and more doubts. When the female star Caroline checked in, the hotel owner Larry gave her the key to Room 8, but later we found out that she came out of Room 9. What is even more bizarre is that after the prisoner of Police Officer Rhodes escaped, he actually returned to the hotel. All these clues suggest that what we saw is not necessarily true, but at that time, we may all be feared by the serial murder case. Overwhelmed, there is no time to take into account these details. A good director is very good at using the method of diverting the audience's attention to lay suspense . When we look back on this film, we will find it wonderful.
Everyone experiences different people or events from birth to growth, and these can have a great impact on our entire life. Some people are very bad from birth. If their parents are like Xiaolu and Ginny in the film, they are not honest with each other, but only deceive. The two obviously do not love each other that much, but they insist on getting married and having children together. The result is predictable. I know, the most innocent must be the child.
Then it developed into the Timsy family. The father ran away from home, leaving the mother and the child to depend on each other. The mother would naturally find a stepfather for the child, but the stepfather George and the biological mother Alice in the movie are already very good to the child, but How many are so lucky in reality? If the mother is not like Alice, but like the prostitute Paris, how much will the child grow up in that environment?
Then after entering society, we will meet self-serving female stars like Caroline, social scum like murderers, and then our real life may become like a hotel owner, become displaced and have nowhere to go go. "Fuck the clothes away, the devil is in the world" , if everyone can be responsible for their own behavior, how can there be so many devils in the world?
As an adult, you should be responsible for your actions, and almost every murderer has a bad childhood.
