Synopsis:
Caught in a savage rainstorm, ten travellers are forced to seek refuge at a strange desert motel. They soon realise they`ve found anything but shelter. There is a killer among them and, one by one, they are murdered. As the storm rages on and the dead begin to outnumber the living, one thing becomes clear: each of them was drawn to the motel, not by accident or circumstance, but by forces beyond imagination, forces that promise anyone who survives a mind-bending and terrifying destiny...

Your Opinions and Comments
With a fine cast and an incredible atmosphere throughout the movie, this is one of the best thrillers I saw recently.
The video transfer is very good. The desaturated colors add a lot of atmosphere and the transfer is clear of any compression signs.
The DD 5.1 soundtrack is very good, too. The surrounds are used throughout the movie, yet not in an overwhelming (aka - rainy) way.
The menus are beautifully animated with sound.
The extras include 2 commentaries by the director and writer, a behind the scenes featurette, 4 deleted scenes and 3 storyboards.
Bottom line - a superb movie and a fine disc to match. Highly recommended.
