Good Points: - Good cast put together- Great story plot- Thrilling and exciting
Bad Points: - Ending is weak
General comments: Vacancy is a great movie with a good story plot to it. 2 people David and Amy fox (Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson) David takes a short cut as he says and ends up getting lost so they meet this guy to try and fix there car. Then once there back driving again there car breaks down. They then go back to the Pinewood Motel and from then on its crazy. First of all theres bangs coming from the door and they go out and no one is there. David finds videos of people getting killed in the motel then when he's watching the video he soon finds out its the hotel where he is. The he finds there spying on him and Amy from camera's all over the room. From then there hotel manager and his men are trying to kill them. The ending though was weak and really was unrealistic once you have seen the movie you will get what i mean but I wont say what happens as I don't want to spoil it for you.The movie i would admit would be scary if you were watching it in a motel because it may give you the feeling your been watched in a room which may happen in some places and thats what makes the movie scary. The acting is good Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale have worked good together. Playing the hotel manager is Frank Whaley he plays the part good but keeps it scary. Ethan Embry and Scott G. Anderson play the murderers which they do keep it up well.The movie from me is worth watching even if the ending was bad.

This was one of those "should have read the write-up" mistakes on a recent DVD hire. And with Wilson, Beckinsale and others lending credibility to what looked like an interesting Hitchcockian homage, how wrong could we go?
Well, very.
Wilson gets about a line and a half of dialogue of any substance, while poor old Beckinsale must have been whispering to herself ('just think of the money'), as her entire casting was based on her ability to look slightly frightened or slightly moody, in equal m ...

Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale offer a move away from their normal film genre in this horror 'vacancy'.
Its based upon a married couple David Fox (Wilson) and Amy Fox (Beckinsale) who are just going through a divorce but are traveling back from visiting Amy's family from a family party, not wanting to share the news of divorce on a joyous occasion they decided to grin, bear it and tell them at a later date.
However on the drive home they find themselves taking a 'shortcut' and getting lost, ...

Vacancy stars Luke Wilson & Kate Beckinsale as a couple that find themselves stranded in the middle of nowhere when their car packs up. With no other option, they head to the nearest shabby motel. The couple soon realise all is not well and the manager has plans for the couple to be his victims and star in their very own snuff film...
The film is somewhat of a horror cliche, with the plot being a recipe for trouble. It does, however, still manage to create the feeling that anything could hap ...
