Intense Psychological Journey

Rating: 10/10 (26 April 2003)

This movie was even better than I had expected it to be. It was a really intense story that gave you hints that you didn't even realize until later were clues to the story. It was more psychological thriller than gore-fest...Although there was a great deal of blood, it wasn't what was scariest about the movie. As the strangers at the motel start to disappear one by one, you will think you've gotten it figured out, only to be proven wrong again and again. And John Cusack's performance was superb! He really did a fantastic job in this one! Also, the way the film began was very cool, from the montage of the psychiatrist and all of the newspaper clippings and the cassette playing in the background, to the way it began with one event, cut back to explain each person's involvement, then began again from the first abrupt scene switch. Very cool movie I will watch again!
