"You remember that movie where the ten strangers went to an island, and then they all died, one by one? And then it turned out they weren't strangers, that they all had a connection." - Ginny

Why watch this? It's a dark, surreal murder-mystery that turns the thriller genre on its head.

Plot Summary: Ten strangers become stranded at a remote Nevada motel during a torrential rainstorm. Cut off from the outside world, they soon discover they are being mysteriously killed off one by one, mirroring the plot of Agatha Christie's novel And Then There Were None. Parallel to this, a convicted murderer named Malcolm Rivers awaits a crucial trial to determine if he will be executed for his crimes.

Dad's Preview: After enduring a ton of crime suspense movies, I longed for something new in the sub-genre - and this was it! It's a cold rainy night, the bridge is out, and folks a forced to gather at a low-rent motel. Each person has a unique story. Then people start dying, and I mean in bloody, gruesome ways. It's a smart who-done-it extraordinaire that has an ending you'll never see coming!
