I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Fantastic!

A different way of telling a story

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

Vacancy is a horror movie that is worth checking out. It's pretty entertaining and it's well acted. The film stars Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson. They plays a married couple that checks into a motel one night and things quickly turn south. They discover that they are being filmed in their room and that the owners plan on making a snuff film with them being the victims. They find the previous tapes containing horrible torture inflicted upon the victims who stayed in that room. The acting is good, I enjoyed both Beckinsale and Wilson's performances. They were convincing in their roles and played a convincing couple. The suspense and tension is high in the majority of the film, the scares are average. To me, this film isn't really all that scary as much as it is suspenseful and thrilling. The writing is average for this kind of movie. It's not full of great talented dialogue, but it's not bad at all. I was satisfied with the script, I thought it provided the audience with everything that is needed. It doesn't really strive to be the best, but you do see that the filmmakers did give a good amount of effort, they and the actors both really did give it their best shot. At the end of the day, it's not going to go down as a legendary horror movie, but it will entertain and it accomplished what it set out to accomplish. 7/10.

A married couple becomes stranded at an isolated motel and finds hidden video cameras in their room. They soon realize that unless they escape, they'll be the next victims of a snuff film. Vacancy is the kind of thriller with all those dumb moments that every thriller suffers from this days it tries to be scary but it's not, the leading main villain is over the top and dies by his own normal stupidity and for once more a cop dies because he thinks he is some kind of John Rambo if you can pass the dumb moments Vacancy is actually a nice film with 2 good leading performances although the script does have problems and i won't lie about it but it's still a nice movie but don't except much from it to be honest 7.5/10

The strongest asset that Vacancy has going for it is a deliciously tense and artistic set of opening credits. Now that can be seen as an insult in a review by some, but I'm happy to report that following that terrific opening is a nasty little flick that delivers the genre goods nicely. It's nothing new or noteworthy, but it tries, and commits itself to its macabre little setup pretty well, leaving us with a slice of suspenseful horror in the tradition of stuff like The Strangers and Psycho. The aforementioned credits are a scintillating parade of impressive graphic design accompanied by a heart-skipping, nerve clawing score by Paul Haslinger, formerly of Tangerine Dream. This sets the tone for the events to follow, in which Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson play an unfortunate couple whose car breaks down in the middle of nowhere at the witching hour, forcing them to take refuge at one of the countless ominous, isolated motels which populate cinematic Americana. The first red flag is the desk clerk, a twitchy little weasel played by Frank Whaley. Whaley is best known as the guy who provoked the wrath of Samuel L. Jackson by saying 'what' one more goddamned time in Pulp Fiction. Here he milks his squirmy, freakazoid role for all its worth, treating the couple with all the good natured charm of a king cobra. Beckinsale and Wilson settle in for the night and are almost immediately descended upon by masked psychos who prowl the property and leer outside their windows. So begins the archetypal cat and mouse game of survival, as the two evade a group of marauding sickos who have been preying on unsuspecting guests for a long, long time. The two leads are solid, especially Beckinsale who let's the fear cord rip in certain impressive moments. Whaley steals his scenes and gets under your skin. It's standard horror done pretty darn well. Recommended.

Its not that i totally disliked the movie but i think it missed the absolute point of keeping me absolutely involved in the movie. I mean there were a minute or 2 in the movie where my mind wandered into what would my next film be and what not. Beautifully shot though in that not so spooky place. Overall did not fare well in my judgement , sorry fellas who adored this and high fives to those who feel similar to me.Also i believe the opening few minutes of the movie were very monotonous and its like you have seen it so many times, the scene which really got me back into the movie was the sparkles scene in which kate threw it out of the window.
