Another film which has a similar plot but far more menacing


I am trying to think of another movie maybe 20 years ago which also had ten people stuck in a motel and one by one they were being picked off. The first a young lady who's head was found in the motel's laundry (drying machine). This was more on the psychological thriller/horror movie genre.

Identity. John Cusack

Brilliant film, 'Identity!'
'Ten Little.../Then there were none' is a fantastic book but as far as I can remember, at least one of the film versions didn't keep its original ending which was more downbeat (& MUCH better, psychologically!)

The Russian version, "Desyat Negrityat", contains, more closely than any other adaptation, the novel's ending.

The dvd is available online. I think the film might be on youtube also. It's worth a look. The cast is fantastic. Alexander Kaidanovsky doesn't look a thing like how I pictured the novel Lombard (I've always thought a younger Timothy Dalton would have suited the part perfectly) But he's fantastic in the role.

I love to love my Lisa.

I don't think any of the film versions ended like the book. The ending of the book was much better, I think.

Desyat Negrityat didn't end exactly like the book, but it's damn close. About the closest it could be filmed to Agatha's original ending.

Were you thinking of Clue which is based on the board game. Started Tim Curry, great fun.
