Vacancy
When David and Amy Fox's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they are froced to stay at the only motel around. After realizing that the low-budget slasher movies they're watching were all filmed in the very room they're sitting in, the couple finds hidden video cameras in their room and understand that unless they escape, they'll be the next victims of a snuff film.

[Director Nimrod] Antal does such a good job that you almost overlook the absurdities built into the screenplay.

Vacancy may be trying to bridge both worlds, but it ends up straddling the fence.

The point of Vacancy is the terror, not the torture. Horror is vastly more effective when left to the mind's eye and it is what we can't see in Vacancy that truly frightens.

Vacancy is a no-nonsense, no ambition thriller, but sometimes that's more than enough to please.

Once the fight-for-their-lives plot kicks in, unfortunately named director Nimród Antal keeps the action intense and well paced.

It's not pretty, but it's certainly vacant.

Vacancy, in the end, simply offers a particularly aggressive brand of couples counseling.

An unpleasant and hardly entertaining creepy horror road movie that comes up as vacant as an empty room.
September 20, 2007
All things considered, not half bad. Indeed, it's much less than half bad.

Packs a lot of old-fashioned shocks into its taut 80-minute running time.

Very creepy.

It's welcome to see another movie that relies more on apprehension and suspense than torture chambers. Vacancy might not get Mr. Hitchcock smiling from above. But he won't be spinning in his grave, either.
