"The secret lies within"

Rating: 8/10 (24 February 2012)

Stranded at a desolate Nevada motel during a nasty rainstorm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realize that they're being killed off one by one.
Everyday we see another cliché horror flick. We get it, it's all been done before, and we want to something new. When I first heard of Identity, I had mixed feelings. I had this feeling in me that this actually looks pretty good, but the other half held what I thought about horror films in general. After ALL those endless good reviews, I sat down to see what the big deal was... Identity was fantastic. The tension was so high and the suspense levels were max. At one point, I had to go pee so bad. In this movie, I didn't even THINK of going to the restroom, because the movie glues you to your seat. Now that's movie-making. The movie progresses like any other has, and this may turn you off. But the thing that possessed me was that feeling you get that SOMETHING is lurking in the background. You don't know what it could possibly be, so your wanting to sit and see. The acting ties in with this too. The actors seemed to be so in their role, it was great. You could tell maybe even them were feeling that something was there too, that great suspenseful feeling movies leave out nowadays. Not once did I even question the acting from all these new and old actors. Now the twists... the twist! If you haven't already seen this movie, I'm going to tell you this again, this is spoiler-filled. I cannot express how good the movie is until I explain the twist, so I suggest you go see the movie otherwise. THE TWIST! Never have I loved a twist so much, because it surprises you and makes you crazy at the same time. You learn that all of this was the thoughts of a guy who has something called personality disorder. This causes him to have multiple personalities at the same time, and he's living inside of his thoughts. Thing is, he's murdered this people and is basically living their lives out inside his head. It may sound a little far-fetched, but this is a MOVIE and people who are complaining should go watch their 'realistic' movies. The way they filmed the big twist was actually really cool. It was making you feel like YOU were in the mind of this guy, and even more twists lie after that one. All in all, I totally recommend this film. It's a thriller masterpiece, filled with so many twists and turns, your most likely going to have the urge to watch it again to catch new things. It's a movie experience, from however you look at it, and I loved it. 8/10.
