Slasher or Psychological thriller?

Rating: 9/10 (6 September 2003)

While not the best movie ever made, Identity will keep you guessing until the end just what is going on. Fairly quickly you will deduce not all is as it seems. As more details are presented, the idea of a supernatural cause becomes more and more realistic; yet, at no point does the movie seem supernatural.
Is this a slasher movie? In the classic sense, yes. There are murders. There is blood. There is a knife, a bat, a gun, even an exploding car. But in the end, the hows of the murders are unimportant.
The best hint to give to understand this movie is simple: pay close attention to all the details and make no assumptions. Upon recollection of all the details, it becomes VERY obvious what is going on.
Kudos for keeping the suspense going and allowing the audience to make their own minds over what happens. It may seem obvious, yet a very enjoyable journey to get there.
