Think of Psycho as Kindergarten . . . then think of Vacancy as being 10th Grade.
Couple checks into isolated motel. The management has a side business going, making "snuff films". You get the idea. Very high on the creepy-meter scale.
Some great ideas, such as the video left in their Room #4 so the victim couple can see their "future". Realistic interplay between the couple regarding the disintegrating relationship. I loved the little creep playing Norman Bates' counterpart as the motel clerk. Perfect. Despite the seriously violent/perverted theme at play here, there was actually a minimum of really disturbing gratuitous extreme sicko acts or flesh shots(considering that, unfortunately, most of us consider stock Hollywood shooting, strangulation and mayhem to be not very disturbing).
I thought the director often had great tension and impending doom building, and unnecessarily let it slip away in favor of some basic violent conclusion. The Hollywood violence doesn't bother me, but some Hitchcockian suspense makes for a superior movie. This one had many great ideas which became missed opportunities.
Still, a very entertaining and suspenseful flick that will probably have even jaded suspense/horror junkies squirming in their chair a bit. Turn down the lights and enjoy!

I can't believe I just sat through this whole movie only to discover there is absolutely no point. I am a big fan of both Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale and I am surprised that both of them chose to be in this movie. Is there suspense? A little bit. Is is predictable? Totally. I feel completely cheated for sticking it out and wasting my time watching a bunch of gross, sick, twisted violence for such a crappy ending. I highly recommend not wasting your time watching this movie. This is the type of movie a high school kid could write up on a bad day. Unreal, it was that terrible. Do not watch this movie. It is pathetic that it was even made. This is a totally honest review, no holds barred. A total piece of junk movie.

I'll write a short review since I don't have the time. I liked how the director set the mood for this film it also has a stylish opening credit sequence, it was an intense thriller but wasn't particularly that scary but it still works as a thriller and the pacing was great anyone who says that this film was too slow or boring probably suffers from ADD and likes watching crappy Michael Bay films. Both Kate Beckinsdale and Luke Wilson are good actors especially Kate who's very talented and their roles were believable and have some depth. A couple who are traveling at night to visit some relatives end up having car trouble in the middle of no where so they decide to stop bickering for a while and check in a motel, this motel unfortunately has a dark secret and it seems like some of its guests have appeared in a snuff tape that Luke's character watches in one of the videos. How are they going to get out of this situation? well you'll have to watch it in-order to find out. Overall this was a very solid thriller which has some nice and suspenseful moments to it like a Hitchcock film......

Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson portray a husband and wife torn apart by the death of their son. On their way home from her parent's anniversary party we witness the sarcasm and hate that has crept into their marriage.
Off the beaten track their car deserts them and they end up taking refuge in a shady motel where they quickly learn that they are not the guests but the prey.
This was a tension packed psychological thriller that kept us hopping, literally; from the verbal discourse in the car to the nightmare in the motel room. The unfortunate thing is the ending was a fizzle. After all that mayhem it just didn't satisfy.

In "Vacancy," Owen Wilson and Kate Beckinsale play a bickering, soon-to-be-divorced couple who check into an off-road motel whose body count would turn Norman Bates green with envy. I mean, imagine what that crazy, dress-wearing mama's boy could have done with a setup like the one they've got here! Discreetly placed video cameras, a giant media console, and a labyrinth of secret, underground passageways - all so a bunch of drooling homicidal maniacs can film themselves systematically torturing and killing unsuspecting "guests" at their establishment, then watching the atrocities they've committed over and over again at their leisure. It doesn't take long for David and Amy Fox to figure out that this is one inn where the customers check in but never check out.
"Vacancy" has some suspenseful moments, but too much of it feels formulaic and predictable, with a dribble-away ending and no real interesting plot twists to distinguish it from a dozen other run-of-the-mill thrillers. David and Amy even have the requisite death-of-a-small-child subplot to explain their recent estrangement. Moreover, there's a sadistic undercurrent running through the movie that spoils most of the fun we could be having with the story if it had any real soul or imagination.
And then there are all the nagging practical considerations, such as wondering how these sadistic yahoos pay for all that video equipment if they wind up killing the very few customers who manage to come their way. It's definitely not a plan designed to generate positive word-of-mouth or repeat customers for their business.
