One of those "how-stupid-can-you-be" thrillers that makes you want to scream at every wrong decision. Still, it moves along quite briskly and does have an interesting (if far-fetched) premise. It's fun, but nothing groundbreaking. |

It wasn't too bad. Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale's characters really kept the movie going. Even though it was pretty predictable and not a lot of genuine scares, it was creepy to watch. A good thriller, a bad horror. |

Vacancy is a good and entertaining thriller with just some minor problems. It's well directed with average writing and the cast is good. Luke Wilson isn't my first choice for the lead role, but she does a good job anyway. Kate Beckinsale is good but her character is not as strong as i thought she should have been. Frank Whaley is good but his character is more goofy then creepy. The movie is more intense and chilling then scary but it is still fun. Even though everything in the story happens so fast for an 85 minute run and it's worth seeing. |

Ok ... this movie blew. I know what most people would say about that comment, saying "what kind of opinion is this movie blew?" Well, I can't figure out any other word to sum it up. The beginning was slow, and the storyline of randomly getting lost and cell phone not working and then landing in a hotel where everyone dies and this has been going on for "years". I would think over time someone outside the town would find out. Furthermore, the fact that they got one sheriff to come to the hotel and not call for back-up ... and then the cop got killed and the police station never wondered why he didn't return. Plus the ending was horrible ... one last comment how can you make "the bassist" from "That thing you do" or the "sweet/nice" kid from "Can't Hardly Wait" to be a killer ... he's... |

It started off bad but got better as it went along... then the ending was kind of a let-down. There were some solid thrills here like the rats, policeman, and the video tape scenes. But then again there were also some cliches such as when the woman has to fight the main villain in the end to serve some kind of resolution to her problems at home. Otherwise, I thought it was pretty effective because it happened overnight, which means the setting was dark and creepy. The eighty-five running time of the movie, I thought, was a great move because the ending kind of fizzled out. This is by no means a perfect movie but it's worth a rental with friends while having a sleepover or if you're alone craving for a more than descent thriller on a rainy, chilly night. |
