A confined setting is a useful tool for thriller-makers, and Vacancy is definitely boxed in: a rundown motel way, way off the Interstate, the kind of place where unsuspecting movie characters go to get stabbed to death in the shower. If Vacancy doesn't quite live up to its Hitchcockian forbears, at least it provides 80 minutes of well-designed mayhem. You know somebody's paying attention just from the opening credits, a clever vortex with pounding music by Paul Haslinger. Then we meet unhappy couple Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale, driving along in the dark and forced to stay at the Pinewood Motel after a car breakdown. There's a night man (Frank Whaley, decadent) in the tradition of Dennis Weaver's Touch of Evil gargoyle, but the real mess of trouble is waiting in room number 4. Director Nimrod Antal, who scored a stylish international hit with the Hungarian thriller Kontroll, squeezes maximum juice out of the Route 66 atmosphere of the motel, although the movie doesn't get under your skin the way Kontroll did. Wilson and Beckinsale are a little too marquee-namish for this kind of heavy-breathing work, and the script doesn't give them much to play with. But hey, it's not that kind of movie. Where it really belongs is on the top half of a drive-in double bill, or maybe as a nightmare-scenario TV movie from the Seventies. Either way, it works. --Robert Horton

Title says it all. It's really sad that Kate Beckinsale would degrade herself by appearing in this voyeuristic tripe. And if the film is not enough, the DVD includes extended snuff scenes for your viewing pleasure. Entirely predictable, no twists that couldn't be seen a mile away, a complete rip off of far, far better films.
The highway wasn't the only thing they left to find themselves at this motel: any acting, plot or character development, directing or photography must still be ... Read More

Set in a rundown motel in the middle of nowhere, a couple finds themselves trapped at night while being stalked by deranged killers. The cinematic effects and music add to the suspense of this thriller.
However, one unrealistic character takes away from this movie being a 5 star movie.
Overall, it's a dark movie that will keep you jumping in your seats. Makes you think twice about staying in a desolate 1 star Motel. You get what you pay for.

2007's Vacancy is so bad, it goes far beyond the stretch of imaginative words one can use to describe in no uncertain terms, how truly horrible a film can actually be. The accolades that some reviewers give this, makes me cringe with fright to fully comprehend that another breathing, living human being actually thought this was worth any iota of time to even consider this more than a one star rating. The understanding that two people in a hotel who find a vhs tape with other people getting mauled ... Read More
