Movie Reviews of Vacancy
Movie Review: Catch as catch can fun!!
Summary: 3 Stars
It's a bit cliched, but with most horror films nowadays that's to be expected. This is a pretty good movie for what it is. It's fairly suspenseful, it has decent acting(for a horror film)and serves its function to keep you entertained for the most part. If you like horror films you could do far worse than this flick.Movie Review: Creepy, but good
Summary: 4 Stars
I liked this movie. Had me on the edge, and gave me the creeps because of the "omg, THAT could happen" factor. Movie Review: Entertaining, plenty scary --- could have been even better
Summary: 4 Stars
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!
Movie Review: One of the most pointless movies I have ever seen
Summary: 2 Stars
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. Movie Review: Nice thriller.

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......
