Bad Times at the El Royale (2018)
Directed by Drew Goddard
influenced by Striking Distance (1993)
Music
There was “Mad World” in Donnie Darko, and “Creep” in The Social Network , but if anything, Bad Times At The El Royale harkens back to an even earlier example, Striking Distance , from 1993, which used “Little Red Riding Hood” as the serial killer’s musical cue.
What Dalton was to bouncers in "Road House," Sonny is to racers: Better than you, wiser than you, not really concerned about you.
He becomes positioned as nothing less than the messiah of motorsports, the enlightened bodhisattva of the speedways. Yet, unlike a character such as Dalton in Road House, Sonny possesses no discernible spiritual depth or philosophical grounding.
Dirty Dancing: Baby meets and falls for forbidden fruit: resort dance instructor Johnny, played by Patrick Swayze ("Road House").
His performance evokes Keanu Reeves in Point Break, Patrick Swayze in Road House, or John Travolta in Saturday Night Fever.
