The number was made to sound as if one is actually calling the Pinewood Motel. In the background, screaming can be heard accompanying the voice of the proprietor, who informs callers about "slashing" prices and the "killer" deals that the motel has, if it has a vacancy. The voice of the proprietor is none other than Frank Whaley's. The toll free phone number for the ad was 1-888-9-VACANCY (1-888-982-22629). The toll-free phone number is no longer valid.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. An amazing film. Truly a great, suspenseful thriller from the time the banging started to the end of the movie. This has to be the best thriller movie I have ever seen. Every second of the film is sick and has you on the edge of your seat. I liked how the film was not long, and yet still managed to gradually take it's time to develop into a nail-biting thriller. Really, really impressed with this film, and recommend anyone to watch it if you haven't already. By far the best part of the film is when they see the snuff films, then lights go out, and it goes on like that for a few seconds. I do not see how realistic the movie is or the character's choices in the film can impact on how good the film was. A movie is supposed to be for entertainment, whether it's realistic or not doesn't matter as it's a movie, not real life.… Expand

Hungarian director Nimród Antal’s debut was screened at the Prix Un Certain Regard of the Cannes Film Festival 2003 and with the suspense horror Vacancy, he establishes himself as a hope for future European independent cinema. This ratherHungarian director Nimród Antal’s debut was screened at the Prix Un Certain Regard of the Cannes Film Festival 2003 and with the suspense horror Vacancy, he establishes himself as a hope for future European independent cinema. This rather short Hitchock homage does have an A-list cast, including Kate Beckinsale, Luke Wilson, and Frank Whaley, but as we’ve seen well enough in the last couple of years, that alone doesn’t make for a good horror movie. Vacancy proves otherwise though, and impresses with never-ending thrill, creditable and genuine acting, and a completely rational story.
After the nicely designed title sequence, the movie commences without any digressions, but it will take some time to completely grasp the situation. The screenplay deftly includes the needed information into the everyday dialogues of the two protagonists and knows just how much exposition is enough. Through that, the actual horror can quickly kick in and after not even 20 minutes, you’ll already have goosebumps and hands tied to the chair. The macabre game can begin and a difficult to watch assemblage of snuff films is followed by a nocturnal chase through an isolated motel, which doesn’t always omit clichés but conceals them through the director’s original and unpredictable ideas. However, the greatest asset stays the almost unendurable suspense, which makes for such an uncomfortable viewing that on one side, you’ll want to quit the movie and on the other, keeps you hooked in front of the TV.
The movie completely lays down all horror stereotypes in its final act by staging it in sunlight, and it may for a moment seem that it degenerates into the bizarre. Fortunately, that’s not the case, and Antal stirs up a mysterious open end that is without equal. As the credits start in the style of the title sequence, you’ll not only be relieved to stop shivering, but also exhilarated to have ultimately seen a really great horror movie.… Expand

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

Vacancy is horrific, as well as scary, violent, and mysterious. It was okay, I'll say that. I had no complaints with this film but to me-- this film was just okay.

It's not so much of a bad film as it is pretty boring. It neither expands the genre nor offers anything new or fresh. The acting performances were alright (at best) but these lead actors weren't exactly believable as a married couple which repelled me from further from enjoying the movie. The production values are cheap but that simply might have been the intention to further point out that this isn't the Hilton Hotel by any stretch.… Expand
