    While this film is true to its predecessor, it does have a distinct direct-to-DVD feel to it.

    Just as creepy as the first one. I liked the first one a little better, only because Kate Beckinsale was in it. This one was still good though.

    A fairly good prequel to the original with one of the killers from the first starring in this. It's pretty straight forward and not as intense as the first but if you liked the first film you should enjoy this. This also stars Agnes Bruckner from The Grudge 2, Venom and Blood & C...( read more)hocolate.

    I kind of can't believe I watched the whole thing, but that's a testament to the editor I suppose. Even though the script, acting, score, shots, and kills are terrible the piece is well paced and watchable. So much less thrilling than the first, and reused plenty of tricks.

    I d...( read more)idn't believe that's how this idea got started (with the captured killer proposing it to the motel attendants) and the ending doesn't tie to the first movie (this is a prequel). This is meant to depict the first "Vacancy" victims, and the first mistake is to pick a younger and less interesting bunch. These victim characters are flat, and all the attempts at fleshing out the killers fail as well. I would have rathered the honeymoon couple in the opening segment be used as the first victims; as it could be used to contrast the victims of the first movie (married for some time and considering divorce). I would have rathered an story with echoing character components than a clumsy directionless story with echoing scare devices.

    Ermmmmm was non too bad, I was expecting a lower rate movie to the original because anything copied is always lesser but this was enjoyable and theres defo looking to be a few more in this series I reckon.

    What a shambles! I did not watch this film all the way through. It was appalling. I quite enjoyed the 1st one but felt this was no where near the same standard.

    Boooring, but Trevor Wright in the movie is sooooooooo DAMN HOT

    This was a very bland horror movie. I had a hard time paying attention to what the characters were doing because I was getting bored. It had a little interest as to see how this all developed over the history of the hotel and the killer, but this was a waste of time just like the...( read more) first vacancy, which was also kind of bland. Thsi could have been done so much better.

    This movie is an okay sequel.

    Other the not having Kate Beckinsale in it, it actually was better then the first!
