Ludicrous Thriller

Rating: 4/10 (7 January 2013)

A group of strangers is stranded at a remote motel on a stormy night, as a killer strikes. This thriller, patterned after "And Then There Were None," gets off to an intriguing if silly start, as a convoluted premise is used to gather the victims at the motel. In fact, it has the makings of a delicious black comedy, but that's a road not taken. As the victims start falling, the film becomes increasingly ludicrous until it reaches a mind-blowing, idiotic resolution. Until things fall apart at the end, it is fairly entertaining, although the violence is off-putting. It's a shame that it doesn't add up to much because it has a pretty good cast.
