       A series if very bad luck in a heavy rainstorm brings a group of strangers together in an isolated motel. They’re all a bit shady and very suspicious of each other.

       It’s almost like a Stephen King story. Not completely credible. Far-fetched, you might say.

       But it’s quite exciting and the cast is good. I enjoyed it. 

3* of 5. Hal thought it was too confusing and gave it 1 ½*.
