The pinhole hotel hunt game in progress

The first time I heard the name, I thought that this film must be related to voyeurism. It must be a serial murder case like a voyeur. Perhaps because I have watched a lot of horror movies, I naturally guessed the plot in my mind. Most thrillers have to have a perverted premise as a foreshadowing, so that they can act recklessly and boldly. But I didn't expect the "Needle" film to go straight and straight, without wasting emotions and film, and it would be "horrifying" when it came up, which should be regarded as a highlight.

The plot of the story is not new, but the technique and rhythm are quite well mastered. I didn't expect such a performance in such a small-budget film. Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson both performed well in "The Needle", interpreting the struggle in hardships delicately and in place.

Let's talk about the plot in detail, and remind those who haven't seen it to read it!

The story begins on a dark and long highway. A couple who are separated from each other silently move forward in the dark. Due to the accidental death of their son, the couple cannot bear the cruelty of reality. The end of this trip is also the end of marriage. For some reason, everything is going so badly that something seems to go wrong with David's (Luke Wilson) car trying to avoid a raccoon. Fortunately, they found a gas station, and the kind-hearted gas station staff selflessly helped them solve the problem...

The fact is far from being as easy as the couple faced, and the car has become unstoppable after driving too far. The only way to go is to return to the gas station just now. Fortunately, there is a small hotel near the gas station for people to rest. They are already exhausted after a day’s work. David's boring broadcast was replaced by a snow-covered TV. Suddenly, bloody violent shouts and scuffles broke the tranquility. I don't know why the environment on the TV was so familiar... The

answer to the mystery was revealed. The discovery sends David and Amy (Kate Beckinsale) panic-stricken. What should come will not stop. Like teasing, the pounding on and off makes them more uneasy, and it's becoming clear that David and Amy break into an elaborate game of hunts, where they're the protagonists.

Next is a competition, whether to live or die is beyond the control of the Davids. The only thing they can do is to delay, and everything seems to have turned a corner after delaying until dawn. But dawn is out of reach. What's more, they can only use the room as a cover, but the pinhole monitors everywhere in the room make them nowhere to hide. The situation has developed from an initial fierce struggle to a peaceful stalemate... It's dawn, should it be stopped?

No, it is still going on. The purpose of hunting is to hunt and kill the prey. The hunter will not forgive himself for returning empty-handed.

I think that the tranquility of the ending is even more terrifying. The horror is that you don't know what will happen next, you can't guess, you can't predict, maybe, it's still hunting.

Vacancy quotes

  • David Fox: Yeah, we'll go ahead and stay here. Thanks.

    Mason: I'll give you two the honeymoon suite, for five dollars extra. It's got a few perks that the others don't.

    Amy Fox: Regular room will be fine, thank you.

    Mason: What the heck, I'll give it to you for the same rate.

  • David Fox: I guess it could be worse, you know. We could be stuck in that twin bed at your folk's house, trying to pretend like we're a happy couple.

    Amy Fox: God, I should've told my mom about us.

    David Fox: Why ruin their party though? I think the thing to do is just tell them after we've signed the papers. It felt really strange to be at that party. Watching them all, celebrate being together all those years. How'd it make you feel?

    Amy Fox: I don't know. Tired.

    David Fox: I'm sorry. Never should've gotten off the interstate, either.

    Amy Fox: Miss our last one great adventure together?
