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

[WellTidy]

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.

Maybe try sifting through here - www.bfi.org.uk/publications/corporate-documents-publications/film-industry-statistics-research/box-office-reports-5

Was it Joy Ride?

I don't know but if you post on one of the generic threads on IMDB someone there will definitely know!

I'm not leaving until the OP agrees it was Identity!

No no no. It can't be Identity. I wasn't living anywhere near Swiss Cottage by the time it was released in 2003.

It is so frustrating. I will post on that IMDB board, I think.

unfortunately, all I can remember of the film is the info (i know how limited it is!) I have already given.

www.imdb.com/title/tt0120753/ - The Million Dollar Hotel?

Though the UK release date could be a year before or after the US release date. If you only have US release dates to go by.

The gift? movieweb.com/movie/the-gift-2001/?

Maybe sift here? movieweb.com/movies/2001/thriller/

Th13rteen Ghosts? That was 2001 and they are stuck inside a house.

Although it isn't at all Hitchcockian.

Session 9?

Disregarding the year, the film your description most reminds me of is April Fool's Day. UCI would have to have been equipped with a time machine for it to be that though. Is there a chance it was an older film with a special/anniversary release?

The times ng for Session 9 might fit. It was set in an abandoned mental institution and most of the clues were revealed on a tape recorder, if that rings any bells.
