hey what's up guys
today I'll show you a slasher film: "Identity"
spoiler ahead, watch out and take care
one night, a doctor is doing psychological counseling on a patient, Malcolm.
Malcolm keeps repeating a poem he wrote when he was a child
the poem goes like this
as I was going up the stairs, I met a man who was not there
he was not there again today. I wish he would go away
the doctor then takes out Malcolm's profile, which includes a picture of the matchstick men
the first six men are almost the same, while the latter two are Malcolm and his mother
Malcolm has an unfortunate childhood
his mother was a prostitute and abandoned him in a motel when he was only 9 years old
his father is still missing, so Malcolm has grown up in an orphanage
on the table, there is a criminal report of Malcolm
murdering six innocent people on May 10, 1998, which is also Malcolm's birthday
but Malcolm does not remember the murder at all, so the doctor identifies him with schizophrenia
it turns out that Malcolm has been sentenced to death for killing people
and will be executed the next day
the doctor tries to delay the death penalty by treating Malcolm's mental illness
but the judge refuses the doctor's appeal and wants Malcolm to be executed as soon as possible
on a lightning road, a car's tire is punctured by a high heel
which is dropped by a prostitute previously
when the four-eyed guy is changing the tire, his wife is hit by a coming car
where there is an actress and a driver in that car
the driver tries to call for a rescue, but the phone has no signal
so the driver takes all the others to a motel, and he goes to find help alone
the actress does not want the driver to go, but he insists on doing so
halfway, the driver finds the prostitute who dropped the high heel
but her car breaks down due to the heavy rain
so they decide to drive to find rescue together
fortunately, they come across a young couple on the way
at first, the couple refuse to give the driver and the prostitute a ride
but the moment the husband sees the prostitute, he agrees
the driver takes a pistol with him since they do not know each other
then the four take the couple's car back to the motel and decide to set off tomorrow
the innkeeper gives them several rooms to rest
the actress is in room 9, the prostitute room 7, the driver room 3, and the couple room 6
but the couple smashes the door too heavily, reversing 6 to 9
then a police officer also arrives at the motel because of the heavy rain
and a detained criminal is also staying with him inside the car
the driver suggests using the radio in the police car for help
but the police officer says the radio has no signal
during the period, the driver finds that the son of the four-eyed guy looks very strange
and the four-eyed guy explains that it is because he is the boy's stepfather
thus the little boy is not close to him
the actress still wants to find a phone signal outside, but suddenly she is attacked
the driver hears her scream and goes out to check
only to find her head in the washing machine in the laundry room
and then the innkeeper and the police officer arrive
they find the key to room 10 beside the head
the police officer and the criminal live in room 10, so they think the criminal might do it
when they arrive at room 10, they find that the criminal does have escaped
so the driver proposes that he and the police officer go to find the criminal
while the others stay in the room
after that, the young couple has a dispute
because the wife pretends to be pregnant to get married to her husband
due to the quarrel, the wife gets upset and storms into the toilet
while her husband is killed outside
knowing her husband is dead, the wife has to jump out of the window to save her life
the criminal who has escaped finds something strange that he will always return to the motel
no matter which direction he is running towards
so he is caught by the driver and the police very soon
the driver asks the innkeeper to keep close eyes on the criminal
and he goes to check out the two dead
the driver takes the prostitute to check the body
the driver says that he used to be a police officer
and that he failed to save a girl who decided to commit suicide
and since then, he has suffered from some mental problems, so he left the position
the driver finds the key of room 9 on the dead body
they speculate whether it is a serial murder in the reverse order from ten to six
then the police officer is astonished to find that the criminal has also been killed
but the innkeeper who is supposed to be on guard against the criminal
says that he didn't do it because he has just gone back to the office
Coincidentally, the key to room 8 is next to the criminal's body
which means it is a serial murder
then it is found that the innkeeper has stolen the purse of the actress
but the innkeeper says that he did not kill the actress but only wants to steal her money
the innkeeper is highly suspected of murder
of course, he knows that, so he decides to make things even worse
the innkeeper takes the prostitute hostage
but the prostitute knocks him over during the chaos
then the prostitute happens to open the refrigerator
everybody is shocked to find a frozen body inside
the innkeeper takes advantage of this opportunity to escape
and wants to hit the little boy
the four-eyed guy manages to rescue his son but he gets killed by the innkeeper unexpectedly
finally, the so-called innkeeper confesses everything he knows
the dead man in the refrigerator is the real innkeeper
he is a fake one
when he came to the hotel a few months ago, he found the real innkeeper was already dead
so he pretended to be the innkeeper to make money from the hotel
but as for the murder tonight, he claims that he knows nothing
hearing that, everybody falls into confusion
if what the fake innkeeper says is true, that means the killer is still at large
and they don't know the killer's purpose and who will be the next victim
in order to figure out the puzzle
they start to talk about their life experiences to see if they can find something in common
the prostitute says that she is sick of being a prostitute
and plans to return to her hometown for a normal life
soon after, the police officer finds that the wife of the young couple dead
with the key to room 6 next to her body
the key to room 10 goes for the actress, 9 for the husband, while 8 goes for the criminal
they wonder who is the number 7 victim
and speculate that the four-eyed guy should not be the one
because everyone sees he just died in the previous car accident
but to their surprise, later they literally find the key to room 7 next to the four-eyed guy
since all of them are staying in the room just now
they don't even have time to place the key beside his body
that is to say, none of them on the scene is the murderer
the group become more confused by the current situation
the driver suggests leaving the damned motel as soon as possible
and that the young wife and the little boy should leave first
but when their car just starts, it collapses down due to an explosion
and it is so strange that they find no bodies there after the explosion
and what's more, the other bodies have also disappeared
afterward, they find a common feature among them
that is, all of them were born on May 10th, the same day as Malcolm, surprisingly
obviously, this cannot be a coincidence
Checking the ID information left at the front desk
the driver finds that there are even some geographic names in all of their names
no one knows what is going on there
the driver has become more and more confused
the scene suddenly switches to the court hearing
the driver is also one of the participants, but he is dressed the same as Malcolm
the doctor and the judge ask him who he is and what he has done
so he goes all over the things that have happened in the motel
the doctor then shows him the picture of Malcolm
and tells him that he is one of the multiple personalities of Malcolm
then the doctor gives the driver a mirror
and his face shown in the mirror is indeed the one of Malcolm
it turns out that all people in the motel are actually the different personalities of Malcolm
it is the drug treatment used by the doctor
that makes all these personalities meet in the motel at the same time
where the little Malcolm was abandoned by his prostitute mother
it turns out that his evil personality controlled the body and killed people four years ago
so now Malcolm's good self, the driver
tries to find a way to clear the evil self among his personalities
otherwise, Malcolm will be sentenced to death by the judge
then the driver's personality goes back to the motel
and this time, the prostitute also finds that the police officer is fake
he is actually the criminal and has killed the real police officer
he then disguises himself as the police officer
as now his identity is exposed, he starts to kill all the survivors in the motel
he kills the fake innkeeper first, and then he tries to kill the prostitute
however, the driver asks the prostitute to hide
and then he has a fierce gunfight with the fake police officer
both of them are seriously injured and die shortly after
here in real life, Malcolm has finally got rid of the multiple personalities
with only the prostitute personality left
Malcolm's death penalty is delayed as his criminal personality has been purged
he is then sent to a mental hospital
in the mind of Malcolm, his prostitute personality returns to her hometown
and starts to live a normal life
but one day, the prostitute finds the key to room 1 under an orange tree
and behind her suddenly appears the little boy
who turns out to be the real brutal and abnormal personality of Malcolm
it's revealed that all of the other personalities have been killed by the little boy
and he survived the car explosion by hiding up inside a place
eventually, the prostitute personality is also killed by the little boy
and Malcolm becomes a pure murderer with only the boy's criminal personality in control
the film ends as he kills the doctor
who has never figured out Malcolm's real criminal personality until he dies
