| Plot: | While driving during the night, David Fox leaves the interstate and takes a shortcut through a lonely road. He is in a divorce process with his wife Amy, who is sleeping in the car, after the loss of their son Charlie. In order to avoid hitting a raccoon, David breaks down the fan of his car and the couple finds stranded in the road. Without any other alternative, they decide to spend the night in a nasty low budget motel in the middle of nowhere. While watching some amateurish slash movies in the VCR, David realizes that they have been shot in their room. Sooner they discover that they are trapped in the place and surrounded by sadistic filmmakers of snuff movies. |

Continuity: When David peaks out of the tunnel in the manager's video room, he pushes the latch up with the flashlight in his right hand. In the next shot from outside of the tunnel, the flashlight is not in his hand anymore. Fact errors: When the electricity is turned off and on, the TV turns back on and the VCR begins playing again. In reality, they would both remain off until manually turned on again. Fact errors: When the highway patrol officer goes to investigate the 911 call, headquarters would be expecting a response back sooner or later. It was at least an hour if not more until 911 was contacted again, at which time the operator was still under the impression the officer had checked the place out. In reality, headquarters would have contacted the officer and upon there being no response, sent another unit or more to investigate why the highway patrol man didn't respond. Continuity: The bathroom window has three panes of glass. When David uses the towel bar to break the window, he breaks the center pane and then the bottom pane. A few seconds later, he appears to smash the bottom pane and then the center pane again. SYNC: When Mason is giving David dimes, the first coin to fall into David's *empty* hand makes the same metal-on-metal clink as the others. Continuity: During earlier scenes in the motel room, David's shirt continually alternates between having a large patch of moisture on the back and being wrinkled but dry. Continuity: Early in the movie, when David looks out the outside door of the room, he leaves the door ajar while checking the banging coming from the door inside the room. When a long shot shows the whole room, the outside door is closed. Continuity: SPOILER: When David and Amy first go through the tunnel and end up in the office, David is holding the flashlight in his hand when he pushes up on the door. The camera angle changes to inside the office and his hand is empty. Fact errors: When Amy jumps into the blue BMW she starts it with a screwdriver. It has been proved that no post-1997 BMW is able to be started with anything other than an actual coded key, because of the immobilization system built into their cars. Continuity: SPOILER: The apple from which Amy was cutting a slice in the car in the beginning of the movie is later discovered "planted" by the bathroom sink after the first blackout. At least 2 or 3 hours have passed between when Amy cut the apple and when she finds it by the sink in the room, but the apple hasn't browned at all during this time, when it reality it would have browned within minutes of being cut. Continuity: Early in the movie, just after checking into the motel, the handset is put back on the phone at an angle. After it rings a second time, and he goes to pick it up, the handset is back in the correct position. Revealing mistakes: Even if the VCR could be programmed to start right up as soon as power is resupplied to it, it would pick up right where it left off before. In the shots that show the TV as power goes off and back on, when the picture comes back it shows a different scene in the snuff tape, giving the impression that the VCR was running when nothing else was. Continuity: When Amy and David climb out of the 'secret' door and into the little store, David places the cover back over the door and we see that the handle on the door's cover is closest to the table with the cash register, however when David knocks that table over and the camera pans back to the 'secret' door the handle is moved to the opposite side. Continuity: When David ejects the first tape from the VCR, it is a different tape than the one he put in. The tape he then puts in is the same one he put in the first time. Continuity: In one of the snuff films it is shown that the killers were banging a girls head against the lights hanging directly above the bed. But in the room in which Amy and David are staying the lights are hanging by the side of the bed. If all the snuff movies are being filmed in the same room then this room should also have had the lights directly above the bed and not sideways. Continuity: When David discovers the trap door in the bathroom floor, the mat is flat over the door, however one of the bad guys had already been in and out of the room through the trapdoor. There would be no way for them to lay the mat back flat after the door was closed. |

Amy Fox: I'm sleeping in my clothes tonight. David Fox: I'm sleeping in my shoes. Mason: You fucked it all up. David Fox: [on observing a snuff movie] I bet this gets the honeymooners in the mood. Amy Fox: [about the room] We've had our tetanus shots... right? David Fox: [having seen a snuff movie] At least they could've provided us with a little bit of porn. David Fox: [on the tapes] This looks like a library of classics. Mason: Rules are rules. I don't make them, I'm just the manager. Mason: [pointing to Motel room] It's right there in the corner number 4. You might have to jiggle the handle a little bit to open her up, she's as sticky as an old whore. [first lines] David Fox: [after swerving while driving] Son of a bitch! Amy Fox: What are you doing? David Fox: It was a goddamn raccoon in the middle of the road! Amy Fox: Well, better to kill us than get a little roadkill on the car, huh? David Fox: Well, we're still alive. I can tell by the pissy look that you're giving me. David Fox: Boy, you were really dreaming over there earlier. You were mumbling, jerking around. Amy Fox: I dreamt you were trying to kill me. We were at my parents anniversary party and my mother wouldn't stop talking. You started screaming you couldn't take it anymore, and then you tried to strangle me. David Fox: Hey, at least you were dreaming about me, right? That's kind of an improvement. David Fox: [after Amy accidentally cuts her finger while cutting into an apple] You okay? I keep telling you how stupid that is to do that. You ought to just kind of bite into the apple like the rest of the world. Amy Fox: It hurts my teeth. David Fox: As bad as cutting your finger off? Amy Fox: Why didn't you just stay on the interstate? David Fox: I don't know. I guess I just wanted to make this as miserable as possible, you know? See just how big a bitch you'd be about it. David Fox: [driving to gas station] Do you think they're closed? Amy Fox: Since 1957. David Fox: That's too bad, because they've got good gas prices. Mechanic: [after inspecting car] The fan blade's bent. Rock must've hit it. Yeah, she'll drive fine just noisy, that's all. You might want to have someone smarter than me take a look at it when you get where you're going, though. David Fox: I'll do that, thanks. So now what do I owe you? Mechanic: Oh, no, nothing. No, we're good. Hell, I should pay you for finally giving me something to do. Mechanic: Every day's the fourth of July at Small's! [lights up sparkler] Mechanic: Owner makes me say that. David Fox: So how far back was the gas station? Amy Fox: I don't know, about a mile. Kind of a long walk in the middle of the night. David Fox: Yeah, I mean I guess we could just sit here and hope some idiots like us come along and give us a hand, huh? Amy Fox: I didn't get us lost. David Fox: No, you slept for three hundred miles, thanks to your Zoloft-Prozac cocktail. [Amy flicks her middle finger at David] David Fox: Never see stars anymore. At least not in L.A. It's kind of nice out here, really. I bet Charlie would've liked it. Amy Fox: Well you should've brought us sometime. We never went anywhere; the job was always too important to leave. David Fox: Why do you do that? Amy Fox: Do what? David Fox: Every time I mention his name you take a shot at me. Amy Fox: Well stop mentioning his name! David Fox: Well you see, I'm not like you Amy. I'd rather just kind of remember him and deal with the pain. Mason: Hey folks. How can I help you? David Fox: [hearing screaming coming from the office] Everything, uh, okay back there? Mason: Oh! [Mason walks back to the office and turns off tape] Mason: Sorry. Things get a little boring around here late nights! David Fox: Yeah, we'll go ahead and stay here. Thanks. Mason: I'll give you two the honeymoon suite, for five dollars extra. It's got a few perks that the others don't. Amy Fox: Regular room will be fine, thank you. Mason: What the heck, I'll give it to you for the same rate. David Fox: I guess it could be worse, you know. We could be stuck in that twin bed at your folk's house, trying to pretend like we're a happy couple. Amy Fox: God, I should've told my mom about us. David Fox: Why ruin their party though? I think the thing to do is just tell them after we've signed the papers. It felt really strange to be at that party. Watching them all, celebrate being together all those years. How'd it make you feel? Amy Fox: I don't know. Tired. David Fox: I'm sorry. Never should've gotten off the interstate, either. Amy Fox: Miss our last one great adventure together? David Fox: [getting fed up from the noise next door] Why don't you open the door? [David continues to knock but no one answers] David Fox: Want to play some games? I'll play some fucking games with you. Mason: Everything alright, Mr. Fox? David Fox: Uh, no, because the asshole in the room right beside us keeps banging on the walls and won't stop. You got any ideas? Mason: The room beside you? David Fox: Yeah, room 3. Uh, I go over there to talk with the guy to try to get him to stop, but he just kind of keeps doing it. So, uh, I gotta say I don't know what his problem is. Mason: It's very strange, seeing as you folks are the only guests I've got in here tonight. David Fox: Well, somebody's in there, okay, and I gotta say I'm pretty exhausted. Mason: You sure it's room 3? David Fox: Yeah. We're in the corner, right? Number 4? Well, it's the room right besides us with the big rusty 3 on it! David Fox: [to Amy] You gotta take advantage of the perks. It's worth the extra five bucks. Amy Fox: Oh god! David Fox: What is it? Amy Fox: The bathroom's disgusting! Amy Fox: [watching snuff film] Is that this room? David Fox: It sure looks like it. Amy Fox: Please, David, don't go out there! David Fox: Look, if we stay here, we're going to wind up like all of them. Mason: 911 Emergency? David Fox: Yeah, hello. We need some help. Some people are trying to kill us. Mason: Where are you located, sir? David Fox: Me and my wife, we're at this motel, the Pinewood Motel. It's near the mountains. They've got us trapped. Mason: Who has you trapped, sir? David Fox: I don't know. We just need help. The Pinewood Motel. Mason: Yes, sir. Do you have an address? David Fox: No! It's near some woods. Jesus Christ, look it up! Mason: You're going to need to settle down, sir. You'll never survive if you lose control, Mr. Fox. [David realizes he's talking to Mason] Mason: You shouldn't be wandering around in the dark by yourself. Amy Fox: Why are they doing this? David Fox: They might be enjoying themselves. Mason: They're under us! |
