I can't remember the name of a film - please help!

I went to the UCI cinema in Swiss Cottage in 2001 to see Moulin Rouge when it was newly released. It was sold out, so I saw another film. I cannot for the life of me remember what this film was called and it is annoying the hell out of me.

Basic plot: A group of people are stuck in the US I think (I assume they are stuck, or they would surely leave) in the middle of nowhere in a hut/hotel/lodge type thing one night. One by one, they are killed. The film is about finding out which one of them is the killer.

It was a bit Hitchcock, I suppose. It was the first film I'd seen at that time built on this type of premise, and I quite enjoyed it.

Can anyone shed any light please?! I have looked through listing s for 2001 and nothing is jumping out at me.

Cabin Fever? I haven't seen it, but it was that sort of plot.

PenguindreamsofDraco · 15/06/2015 11:59

Identity?

It was at a motel if that helps narrow it down, I know exactly the film you mean, it's raining isn't it? Let me think a bit more and the name might come to me.

TheBeagleHasLanded · 15/06/2015 12:01

I think it's Identity (John Cusack film). Raining all the time, set in a motel, everyone getting bumped off gruesome style.

dreamingofblueskies · 15/06/2015 12:03

No sorry, I'm thinking of Identity with Ray Liotta, and that was 2003 apparently.

treehousethunderstorm · 15/06/2015 12:03

Identity? 'Stranded at a desolate Nevada hotel during a nasty rain storm, ten strangers become acquainted with each other when they realise that they're being killed off one by one'

But I think this was later than 2001

Lolly86 · 15/06/2015 12:04

Sounds like identity

Katniramal · 15/06/2015 12:04

I thought it was Identity too.

Oops, cross post!

ineedabodytransplant · 15/06/2015 12:06

I thought Identity was 2003.

But if it is Identity then...a convicted killer and a cop, a driver and an actress, a young couple, a family who had a crash on the road, a prostitute.

ineedabodytransplant · 15/06/2015 12:06

x-post.

WaferInMyCoffee · 15/06/2015 12:07

It sounds like Identity but that wasn't 2001...

WaferInMyCoffee · 15/06/2015 12:09

Ha cross post with everyone!!

HellKitty · 15/06/2015 12:10

I thought Memento as I always get the title mixed up with Identity for some reason.

WellTidy · 15/06/2015 12:14

It sounds like Identity doesn't it? But i was overseas when identity was released in 2003, so I couldn't have seen that at the cinema. This is so frustrating!! I do like the sound of Identity though, so not all bad.

My Little Eye?

spiderlight · 15/06/2015 12:19

I was going to say Identity too! It's a great film.

HellKitty · 15/06/2015 12:20

Joy Ride was 2001, and there is a section of the film in a motel but they were chased by an evil truck driver.

BabyMurloc · 15/06/2015 12:32

Is it this? The glass house? Released same year/month as moulin rouge and about kids stuck in a house being killed...

ThisIsntFunnyDean · 15/06/2015 12:50

Or maybe "Do you wanna know a secret?"

Sorry for mobile link!

ThisIsntFunnyDean · 15/06/2015 12:52

toota my little eye was horrifying! Shudder!

ThisIsntFunnyDean · 15/06/2015 12:57

ha, not sure my suggestion was even released in the UK now!

WellTidy · 15/06/2015 12:58

Thanks for all the suggestions. Looks like the 14 years that has passed has dulled my memory, so I have no idea whether it could have been any of those films. I will have to weatch them all! Definitely not at night when it is raining outside though Smile.

Thanks, all.
