Plot Summary: Caught in a savage rainstorm, ten travelers are forced to seek
refuge at a strange desert motel. They soon realize they've found anything but
shelter. There is a killer among them and, one by one, they are murdered. As the
storm rages on and the dead begin to outnumber the living, one thing becomes
clear: Each of them was drawn to the motel, not by accident or circumstance, but
by forces beyond imagination, forces that promise anyone who survives a
mind-bending and terrifying destiny.
Review by Blake French:
- Who said they don't make 'em like they used to?
After six years of film reviewing, I can usually decipher a
movie’s formula relatively quickly, especially if it uses a conventional,
grade-B serial killer formula, which—judging by its ads and trailers—is
exactly what I expected Identity to follow. I am pleasantly surprised to
admit that I was wrong; it proved my presumptions incorrect again and again. If
being outsmarted by a serial killer flick will hurt your self-esteem, don’t go
see it.....more
Review by Peter Veugelaers ©2003:
- Don't be deceived -- get out of cinema quick!
Recent thrillers have, on the whole, walked a consistent path.
Although genres tend to cross pollinate, current thrillers have at least
fundamentally stuck to their prime reasons for being whether that be supernatural
thriller (The Ring, Signs, The Mothman Prophecies), sci-fi criminal
investigate thriller (Minority Report, Dark City), feminist social
conscience thriller (Enough), and thriller/horror (Final Destination).
You expected a certain result and got it even if the film was mediocre.....more
