Storyline
| Plot Summary |
David and Amy Fox find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere when their car breaks down. Luckily, they come across a motel with a TV to entertain them during their overnight stay. However, there's something very strange and familiar about the Grade-Z slasher movies that the motel broadcasts for its guests' enjoyment. They all appear to be filmed in the very same room they occupy! Realizing that they are trapped in their room with hidden cameras now aimed at them filming their every move, David and Amy desperately find a means of escape through locked doors, crawlspaces and underground tunnels before they too become the newest stars of the mystery filmmaker's next cult classic!

Did You Know?
| Trivia | The advertising strategy for the film made use of the Internet as well as a toll-free phone number. The number was made to sound as if one is actually calling the Pinewood Motel. In the background, screaming can be heard accompanying the voice of the proprietor, who informs callers about "slashing" prices and the "killer" deals that the motel has, if it has a vacancy. The voice of the proprietor is none other than Frank Whaley's. The toll free phone number for the ad was 1-888-9-VACANCY (1-888-982-22629). The toll-free phone number is no longer valid. See more » |
| Goofs | At the end she phones 911 again and the operator tells her: "an officer has already responded." In reality they would have dispatched another unit once they didn't get feedback from the 1st call out. See more » |

| Crazy Credits | The opening credits turn repeatedly, hiding one set and revealing another. At the end, there is a set of turns and the camera pulls back to reveal a maze. See more » |
| Quotes |
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? See more » |
