I'm not sure why this movie has a low 6.2 rating when other movies that are utter crap have much higher ratings. This movie is one of the best horror movies you will ever see. It is so much better than The Strangers which got very popular while this one didn't which is a real shame. Vacancy does everything right. Go check this out, you won't regret it.

I thought this movie was brilliant! It has everything you could ask for in a horror movie (the creepy atmosphere, a creepy villain, a creepy motel. What more could you want? The banging is extremely well done, the special affects are top-notch, the cinematography is top-notch. This is the best film I have ever had the pleasure to sit through. I highly recommend this film, you will have a blast watching it. The movie revolves around a married couple who have just lost their child, and get lost in the middle of the road, and end up staying at a shady motel. I really liked this movie, you might want to think twice after checking into a motel after watching it though.

Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale are likable stars. You will want them to survive this night. The film is straightforward, technically well executed, with a solid score, nice cinematography and well executed thrills. In terms of memorable characters, dialogue, set pieces, themes and messages, well, it's got none. Thankfully it does not pretend to be anything else than what it is. You come for a few scares, and that's what you'll get. Nimrod Antal managed to get the job directing Predators because of this film, so the guy knows how to craft a thriller, but this movie is a mcdonald's hamburger - as soon as you eat it it feels satisfying for a minute, then you regret eating it and go buy a steak afterwards. The steak in this case being a memorable movie.

I didn't have high expectations for Nimród Antal's "Vacancy", so I wasn't disappointed. Basically, the message that all moviegoers should gleam from movies set in motels is to be suspicious (look what happened to Marion Crane). Hell, if "1408" - based on a Stephen King book - is any indication, then not even regular hotels are safe.Basically, the movie delivers what it promises. If you expect a typical horror flick then you'll get your prize. I guess that from now on, I'll call this movie the horror flick starring the woman from "Cold Comfort Farm" (about an English socialite who meets her eccentric rural relatives) and the man from "Idiocracy" (about a future United States populated entirely by stupid people).
