Darlene Sweet’s storyline provides the film’s emotional heartbeat. As the only character without a violent agenda, she is the audience’s surrogate. Her repeated performances of "This Old Heart of Mine" (The Isley Brothers) are not diegetic filler; they are acts of survival. Singing is the one pure, uncorrupted action she can take in a building designed for voyeurism. When she sings into the motel’s vintage microphone, the sound is piped through the entire building.
