The plot had a logic Vacancy is this dumb horror movie

by phungus phungus is a Top Reviewer on Epinions in Movies, Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 100, Oct 08 '07
Pros: Wilson and Beckinsale gave it their best
Cons: Ummm...Psycho anyone?
Vacancy is the kind of horror movie that plays on our fear of the unknown. Unfortunately, it requires you to suspend all sense of logic, police procedures, and telephone wiring in order to enjoy this incredibly short movie. I wouldn’t bother ...

Psycho, a movie Do! Vacancy, a movie Don’t!

by mql1208 , May 13 '08
Pros: Only 85 minutes.
Cons: The worst ending...ever
Never trust a 15 year old movie critic! My son and I share similar preferences in horror movies, so when he recommended Vacancy, I was looking forward to a good scary movie. Big mistake! The movie, directed by Nimrod Antal, opens with really cool ...

Pros: The film was only 85 minutes.
Cons: The film was 85 minutes long!
Since having a baby, it has been a luxury to watch a feature film, even if it is on a DVD. Yet my husband and I keep trying, renting new titles through Netflix with the hope that during the rare quiet moments, we can see a great film. So when ...

Pros: Some scary moments, good acting, nice location
Cons: Plot holes and a few moments where you question their rationale for their actions

Vacancy is Chilling

by sarah5775 , Aug 15 '08
Pros: Very scary, Good performances by Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson
Cons: Not quite enough scares or plot twists to make it a classic
When I picked up Vacancy, the first thing I noticed was the strange casting. Luke Wilson is usually known for comedy, and I didn’t know how believable he’d be in a horror movie. In fact, I was quite skeptical. But to my happy surprise, Wilson ...

An atmospheric, creepy movie!

by scissor_sister , Dec 13 '07
Pros: A really damn creepy horror movie with big names. Rare these days.
Cons: Kate Beckinsale is irritating as hell in this movie.
Before watching this movie I'd heard a lot of negative reviews about it, but gave it a shot. And boy was I impressed! This movie is EXCELLENT. It fits into the current horror movie trend (the 'Saw' quartet, the 'Hostel' movies, etc) yet keeps things ...
