Today's evening screening at the Greek theatre is "Identity" by James Mangold, starring John Cusack and Ray Liotta. A group of ten strangers gets stuck in a thunderstorm in the middle of the desert, and takes shelter in a motel. One by one, group members start to get brutally murdered. Various spooky things happen until the audience finds out that there is a surprising connection between the motel residents. The movie merges themes from Hitchcock's (him again !) "Psycho", Agatha Christie's "10 little Indians" and modern splatter movies into a skillful melange. Its pace is so fast that the audience barely has time to breathe. I have to sheepishly admit that several times I was so scared that I considered leaving the theatre for early for a peaceful spaghetti dinner.
