Critic Reviews

Owen Gleiberman

Vacancy is a schlock surprise: a no-frills motel-hell slasher film -- with a bit of soul. Read full review

TV Guide Magazine Ken Fox

Stylish and surprisingly effective thriller. Read full review

Tim Grierson

Antal smartly adheres to the no-frills demands of B-movie horror, eliciting impressive chills from old-fashioned suffocating dread rather than the now usual gore. And Wilson and Beckinsale superbly execute everything that's required of their characters--namely, yelling and running. Read full review

Ty Burr

At its worst, Vacancy is merely the kind of taut B-chiller they don't make any more, other than to riff on them in "Grindhouse." Read full review

David Edelstein

If "Psycho" and "Peeping Tom" are the seminal killer-as-voyeur movies, Vacancy is the nasty little runt offspring with no other purpose in life but to gnaw on you. Read full review

Peter Rainer

This ghastly swatch of pulp horror is compelling at the most basic level, but so little is going on in it that you might as well be watching a sadistic lab experiment performed on mice. Read full review

Liam Lacey

This is a no-cable, no-wake-up-call, cash-only dump of a film, where you breathe through a hankie and bring your own Lysol. Read full review

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Vacancy is an unsettling horror thriller about a couple who stay at a motel in the middle of nowhere and discover they are about to be murdered and the murderers are going to tape their murder while it is happening. Luke Wilson & Kate Beckinsale provide top notch performances in this stylish horror thriller. The movie is well shot, acted, has stimulating action scenes and nifty twists as well. Vacancy is perfect for a rainy night or if you want to watch an original, clever thriller with your friend, loved one or family member.… Expand
