Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.

When a movie has you begging for it to end not even half way through it's pure crap. We've all seen this movie and this characters millions of times, nothing new in it. Don't waste your time.

Excellent characters with emotional depth. My wife, daughter and granddaughter all enjoyed it...and me, too! Very good movie! You won't be disappointed.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

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.

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.

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.

Welcome to Vacancy's "Pinewood Motel" where, I suppose, the whole point of this gruesome, little horror story (set on the outskirts of town) was to outdo the terror and madness which prevailed at Psycho's "Bates Motel", some 50 years earlier.But, for starters - When it came to the likes of developing compelling/likable characters, as well as building suspense and sustaining terror, director Nimrod Antal proved, time and again, that he certainly was no Alfred Hitchcock - No - Not even by a long-shot.I must say, though, when young, yuppie couple, David and Amy Fox, first arrived at the Pinewood Motel and checked into cabin #4, I thought that Vacancy just might have the potential to develop into one helluva dynamite slasher flick.But, nope. Sad to say that due to plenty of unconvincing character portrayals and some very bad choices in this story's twists and turns, Vacancy quickly deteriorated into an unintentional slapstick comedy where this cat & mouse game was about on par with that of a Tom & Jerry cartoon.The one thing that really surprised me about Vacancy was that it had been given a "restricted" rating, yet it did not contain any over-the-top gore to speak of (which, in the long run, actually might have helped move this one's story along to some degree).
