As an adult horror/thriller film viewer for *&^% decades, I am disappointed in most everything that comes out these days. VACANCY is a pleasant surprise, but I think one's expectations need to be modest. Also, the film requires a mature, savvy viewer who is tired of teenagers getting in trouble and being stupid, then heroic, then stupidly heroic. Adult thrills done with an aesthetic sensibility and yet delivering something palpable and strong are hard to come by these days. If you agree, catch VACANCY. (Also, watch the alternative opening under special features--hard to believe they shot this and had the integrity and audacity not to use it.)

After their car breaks down somewhere off the highway at midnight, a young (and bickering) married couple Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson check into an old motel. When they think they are the only guests staying there that night, strange things start to happen, including some banging noises from the next room.
With its nice opening title back and score that strongly remind us of Hitchcock, "Vacancy" is an old-fashioned thriller that does not rely on gores to raise its tension. That works to some extent with the effective performances from the leads and atmospheric photography by Andrzej Sekula. Hungarian director Nimród Antal ("Kontroll") manages to make us jump with several scary moments at first, but the film's tension slowly vanishes as the story unfolds.
For what "Vacancy" shows remains (for me) very familiar. The story here belongs to the territory of urban legends including disturbing images recorded on old VCRs, but slick as it is, the film fails to show a newer angle to tell this old story told in the past.
The film's second (and weaker) part suffers from the lack of originality in storytelling, making the whole situation which was so far pretty intriguing, just incredible. I cannot reveal too much about it, but probably you will think as I did when watching these characters making worst choices. "Vacancy" has its moments, but overall just an OK thriller.

"Vacancy" is by far a much finer movie than many of the reviews it has gotten since released in the theatres. This is a slower paced film at first, but supplements that with a realistic feel that is missing from nearly every horror film of today. Kate Beckinsale gives a great performance in her role, while Luke Wilson leaves a little to be desired. He is just a little too calm throughout many of the tense scenes and seems to "lose it" more when him and his wife fight over marital issues.
The story line is pretty basic: The car breaks down late at night, nothing is open, they decide to stay at the nearest motel, HELL breaks loose. This film is very similiar to the fantastic "Wolf Creek" both in plot and style. The soundtrack in this film is phenomenal as well. Perhaps my favorite part of this movie was the ultra realistic ending. I won't give it away, but I was proud of Nimrod Antal for giving me an ending I could believe.
Give it a rent first, as most people are quite the horror film buff I am, but it's one I don't regret purchasing!!

I was really psyched to see this movie, the promos made it look so thrilling. I had to force myself to watch it, it was that bad. I still don't understand it. I can't believe people are giving this tripe good reviews. I can't believe that Luke & Kate agreed to star in this unbelievably bad movie.

If you like thrillers without a lot of gore this is a good movie. We watched this with a group that included four females, I was deaf by the end with claw marks in my arm.
