Sorry, this movie sucks

Simple and well acted, it has tension enough to knot the stomach.

The movie is made so realistic it has a lot of that WoW feeling at the right moments and never tooo over the top. the suspense is done so well and the emotion is felt. Very well put together with the music and all.

A scary and taut thriller.At 80 mins this one doesn't overstay it's welcome. The director wisely focuses on building atmosphere and tension rather than gore and cheap jumpscares. Although there is a fair amount of the latter. The perforances are mostly excellent. Kate Beckinsale is really good but I was not hugely impressed by Luke Wilson's portrayal. I thought he was trying too hard. This is basically a home invasion movie with a new coat of paint. All the horror tropes are there but they are not invasive. It remains an engaging experience throughout. The gravest sin this movie commits is it's ending. It almost threatens to derail the experience of what preceded. I facepalmed!Still solid experience for horror/thriller enthusiasts.

This is one of the best movie ever. the actors did an amazing job, every part of the history is good, anyone who see it will enjoy every second of the film.

A troubling couple find themselves in a motel whose owner likes to make his guests stars of his snuff movies. They have to find a way out. Nothing we haven't heard of before. But Vacancy is enjoyable because of two things.First, it puts more emphasis on claustrophobic bunker elements.Secondly, it doesn't pretend to be more than it is. This is a short horror flick made for quick entertainment without additional, more complex elements (as in The Babadook or It Follows) which would undoubtedly make it from time to time boring.There are quite a few jump-scares without much of a gore. As in most movies of this type, characters are prone to making irrational decisions but Beckinsale and Wilson make up for it since two of them look nice together.In short, if you're looking for a not too scary movie without macabre or gore for short entertainment, you've come to the right place. Oh, and there's a third thing: it's got a little bit of soul in it as well.

The Homage is Obvious from the Title and the Opening Title Sequence and Music. That Said, it Manages to be a Confined Thriller with a Modern, Torture Porn Background. Thankfully the Brutal "Snuff" like Video Tapes are Kept Confined to a TV Small Screen and are Rarely in Closeup. Some People have Called this Sick and Dirty but the Aforementioned Restraint says Otherwise. It is a Story about some Very Sick People in a Disgusting Environment and the Atmosphere is Appropriate for this Type of Thing.Luke Wilson brings His Glib and Sharp Wit to the Role that Adds some Contrast to the Horrible Situation. Kate Beckinsale can't Escape Her Weak Scripted Character Until the Third Act as She starts out as a Crying and Sniveling Female that Borders on Hysterical. Although She has Reason to be Hysterical, it makes the Movie Irritating at times as You want Her to just Shut Up and let Her, Adapting to the Situation, Husband go about Defending the Couple from the Horror.The Gore is Minimal choosing to Go for a Fast Pace and a Race Against the Odds. It's a Small Movie with a Small Cast and that leaves Frank Whaley to Stand Out as a Complete Nut Job. Overall, Above Average and Different Enough to be Worth a Watch.
