On first impression, Vacancy probably seems like conventional, by-the-numbers horror fluff...upon closer inspection, this is anything but! In the midst of Hollywood's putrid "torture porn" movie craze (Hos... -
April 6, 2009OK whats the point of this??? lol its so stupid and hardly scary atall. For a start it has Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale in it....now forgive me but Wilson is a comedy actor right? Beckinsale is an English rose with a vamp streak but hardly hostel style horror victim no no.Nnei... ...( read more )

January 26, 2009This was an uber effective and fun treatment with a special twist on the "went down the wrong road and got stuck with serial killers" movie. In this one, the backwards serial killers make marketed snuff from all their victims, and this film's two protagonist victims discover this... ...( read more )

January 20, 2009Very Hitchcock like movie. A couple's car breaks down and they have to stay in a low budget motel. They watch a snuff movie and realise it was filmed in the room they are staying in. They fear for their lives.

November 17, 2008Mason: [pointing to Motel room] It's right there in the corner number 4. You might have to jiggle the handle a little bit to open her up, she's as sticky as an old whore.

Vacancy, in the end, simply offers a particularly aggressive brand of couples counseling. full review

Ty Burr, Boston Globe
There's no agenda in Vacancy other than to keep you in a state of nervous collapse for 85 minutes, but [director] Antal fulfills it honorably for the most part. full review

Kurt Loder, MTV
Vacancy is yet another example of that tedious pop-cinematic phenomenon, the genre 'tribute' movie -- a film in which the proud-geek director gets to demonstrate how much of his life he's wasted watch... full review

Colin Covert, The Minneapolis Star Tribune
Director Nimrod Antal works with razor-sharp skill, amping up the horror with suggestion and anticipation rather than flashy embellishments. full review

Nick Schager, Slant Magazine
Antal's array of sleek cinematographic arrangements succinctly link his villains to his viewers as likeminded voyeurs turned on by scenes of torture and mayhem. full review

David Edelstein, New York Magazine
If Psycho and Peeping Tom are the seminal killer-as-voyeur movies, Vacancy is the nasty little runt offspring with no other purpose in life but to gnaw on you. This it does uncommonly well. full review

February 15, 2009this movie was good but the ending was horible. everyone justs dies,(well except two but ones probably gona die) thats not a very good ending. plus it didnt explain anything. it was so confusing and it wasnt even scary, there was no suspence you could tell what was happening next.

October 4, 2007i just seen this...wow.....i was in shock at every moment... kate & luke did an excellent job in this film.
i liked when kate killed the two bad guys.
and it was cool that luke lived also...
i wasnt sure if he died or not for awhile.
but i wish they would have showen them get rescued... but at least they were save after all the hell they went though to escape that hotel... -
October 1, 2007There are two kinds of scary movies. those that could never
happen.and those that yes this could really be real.
thats Vacancy, -
September 3, 2007I thought this movie rocked!!! I loved it. It was creepy and suspenseful and it kept you on the edge of your seat. I like the ending too. That made me like it even more.

August 29, 2007Nothing inventive just leading actors running, screaming & hiding from the bad guys.
-
August 26, 2007My rating for Vacancy 2.5/5 to me didn't offer anything new to the horror genre or as a thriller & other films that deals with snuff films done a better job with building suspense & creating a mystery to the story.Vacancy is just a predictable film.8MM & Mute Witness are better films than Vacancy in my opinion.
