Due to a series of natural events (more likely unnatural), people are forced to stay in a sleazy motel run by Larry (John Hawkes).
It was a dark and stormy night. We have several strangers, of whom we are slowly (very slowly) introduced through a series of disordered flashbacks, who are forced to stay in a sleazy motel.
They say it's your birthday.
It's my birthday too, yeah.
They say it's your birthday.
We're gonna have a good time.
I'm glad it's your birthday.
Happy Birthday to you - The BEATLES
As with all sleazy motels, people start to be dispatched in “Fargo” style. The characters dare to compare their situation to Agatha Christie’s “Ten Little Indians,” so is the last one standing the culprit? At least we are not treated to a gushy love story overlay.
Not all the gimmicks in the world can disguise this common slasher movie posing as a psychological thriller.
