The plot is intriguing, not predictable yet not so complex one gets tangled in the twists. A fifties era motel provides nostalgia and the acting is superb. Excess foul language and violence detract but do not spoil the movie. One finds themself caring what happens next. Unfortunately the picture lacks quality music, costumes, makeup and comic relief. Still it is worth seeing.

Here's yet another homage to that grand old classic, l960's "Psycho," although this is a movie that Alfred Hitchcock would never recognize. Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale portray the usual couple who are planning to divorce or separate. You never find happy couples in these motel movies. Anyway, after their car breaks down, they check into a strange room in a remote motel. The room just happens to be the site of a butcher room where snuff films are made. At least this is an original idea.
Luke Wilson does a terrific job as the heroic, courageous man who battles a tiny army of killers and psychos who are determined to make him and his wife their latest victims. Kate Beckinsale has the thankless job of being the usual helpless, cringing, fragile woman who depends on her "man" for protection and security. Only towards the end does she show any signs of courage. You would think that after Sigourney Weaver made movie history in the "Alien" movies where she ferociously kicked major butt, that our days of seeing delicate, cringing, shrieking female heroines were over with. But, much like the female in "The Strangers" she's just a cowering, whining, shrieking blob of jello. You would thinks she'd pick up anything heavy to help her husband in his life and death battle with the killers. At the end, we're asked to believe that her husband does something so unbelievable that we're asked to believe it.
Despite these shortcomings, this film is reasonably entertaining and you can be sure that there are several sequels already being planned.

Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale put in decent performances in this claustrophobic slasher movie. The first 20 minutes establish them as a couple on the brink of a failed marriage, who have got lost on the way back from a visit to parents. They end up staying at a seedy motel, but they soon find the room is not going to give them any rest - the slasher movies in the video player in the room appear to be real, and take place in the same room they are in, and it soon becomes clear they are to be the unwilling stars of the next one.
There are some genuine thrills and the whole thing is put together quite efficiently. It is not as graphic as some of the torture movies proliferating these days, and better for it. However, there is a nagging feeling that the first 20 minutes discovering who this couple are, is the most interesting part of the movie. For the slasher parts, there is a nagging feeling of pointlessness.
That aside, if its nasty slasher thrills you are after, then go ahead. For dramatic substance, apply elsewhere.

This is definitely not a movie to watch all by yourself. This is the kind of movie you watch when you wonder if everything has already been done, and nothing will scare you anymore. Who needs ghosts, devil worshiping murderers, or any kind of the supernatural when you have good old fashioned realistic type of events that COULD happen to you?
Amy and David got off the interstate (BIG mistake) and found that they were having car trouble. Since the mechanics had all gone home for the night, they decided to stay overnight in a creepy motel, since there was nothing else around. The place was run by an equally creepy manager, played by Frank Whaley, who I haven't seen since In the Company of Men.
Even though the hotel was quite dirty and run down, the couple starts to finally relax when someone keeps banging on, not only the door to their room, but the door to the neighboring room. As everyone does in a scary movie, you hear crazy sounds, you investigate, even if you shouldn't. In between trying to find out who is attempting to break in and planning an escape route, David notices some tapes on top of the VCR. Every tape he checks out has people being attacked and killed. Strangely, they all take place in the same room, which is starting to look very familiar...
What follows is an adrenaline filled thrill ride with lots of action, and a few plot holes. VACANCY is a short movie (85 mins) which leaves no extra time for love making scenes or nudity, which some horror film directors feel is necessary to keep us interested. There is no need. This is the kind of movie that leaves you yelling at the screen and discussing with company would YOU would do in that situation. Though I thought that the ending was somewhat weak, I think that the rest of the movie makes up for it. VACANCY 2 will be coming in 2009, and even though it will probably be like a lot of other sequels, that's not going to stop me from watching it.
Recommended if you need a little adventure that will keep you checking the locks and windows for the night.

For a major Hollywood film, this movie was pretty short. The hour and twenty minutes watching this film felt more like two hours. It had a good idea-couple gets side tracked and need a place to stay for the night. They find a hotel; They enter it and a woman is screaming her lungs out. Yet, they stay anyways. The manager is a pyscho ala Norman Bates, who with a few other guys, kills the guests and makes snuff films of it to sell to some people. It does sound like a heck of a film, if it was made by someone else. Probably better as a straight to dvd horror film. This one felt too restrained and by the books. They didnt go out of the way to do anything speical, but I did like what happened towards the end. Overall, if you like straight up Hollywood horror film check this out.
Hollywood Horror-Pictures made for release in theaters to the public. Semi big names, mostly teen actors who are hot at the moment, and alot of them lately are PG-13 movies. They will come out as unrated with scary stuff or so they claim.
