Review:
A flood blocks off certain areas of town and several strangers are forced to share the night together at an isolated motel. Turns out there is a killer on the loose, but who? Will they find out while some of them still live? It's got some interesting trick tactics and some fun deaths to make this thriller just a little something more, but the twist in the end is a little ridiculous (no I'm not sharing). Still for a big budget thriller it does hit on some good ideas and it manages to be entirely entertaining to the end. Could have used a smidgen more style perhaps but heck they can't all be classy now can they?
