You won't be disappointed!
This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.
The movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.
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.
Amazing film. Truly a great, suspenseful thriller from the time the banging started to the end of the movie. This has to be the best thriller movie I have ever seen. Every second of the film is sick and has you on the edge of your seat. I liked how the film was not long, and yet still managed to gradually take it's time to develop into a nail-biting thriller. Really, really impressed with this film, and recommend anyone to watch it if you haven't already. By far the best part of the film is when they realize the snuff films, and the lights go out, and it goes on like that for a few seconds. I do not see how the realistic the movie is or the character's choices in the film can impact on how good the film was. A movie is supposed to be for entertainment, whether it's realistic or not doesn't matter as it's a movie, not real life.
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).
Its not that i totally disliked the movie but i think it missed the absolute point of keeping me absolutely involved in the movie. I mean there were a minute or 2 in the movie where my mind wandered into what would my next film be and what not. Beautifully shot though in that not so spooky place. Overall did not fare well in my judgement , sorry fellas who adored this and high fives to those who feel similar to me.Also i believe the opening few minutes of the movie were very monotonous and its like you have seen it so many times, the scene which really got me back into the movie was the sparkles scene in which kate threw it out of the window.
