It's not great by any means, but it's a pretty good movie that didn't leave me filled with regret for investing time in it.

I cannot think of one single thing that I would change about this film. The acting is incomparable, the directing deft, and the writing poignantly brilliant.

The film makes a home in your brain and the only cure is to see it again.

I don't remember in what year I watched this movie (back when I used to rent VCDs) but I'm writing this review now in 2016 randomly just because I'm back on thriller movies marathon again recently, this movie came to mind and I can still remember almost every plot of it. That's just how good it is. I call good movies when they can stay in my head for a long time after watching, and with emotional involved too. How the director built the emotional issues between the couple was very well done and I enjoyed every thrill I felt as the terror came one at a time. The presence of Luke Wilson as an ordinary man, a regular person just like us is what I really adore here. I keep remembering how he can be sharp in such pressuring situation and manage to stay calm and logic. Most thriller movies feature characters that would at least act panic, do stupid mistakes or be the whining ones (admit it, you always know the whining ones will always be dead, sometimes first). This man was just not any of them. Usually the first hour of these kind of movies is all about the mystery and the next hour is about the revealing, the part when I sometimes push the fast-forward button if the scenes are too lame or predictable that I just want to know the result. Not this movie. The processes kept me watching and I enjoyed them. I give 10/10 because I couldn't remember any mistake in this movie, if there's any. What matters is that it still stuck in my memory until now and I'm waiting for it to fade so I can watch it again and go through all the terrors and frightening set-ups like I haven't before.

Its not that i totally disliked the movie but i think it missed the absolute point of keeping me absolutely involved in the movie. I mean there were a minute or 2 in the movie where my mind wandered into what would my next film be and what not. Beautifully shot though in that not so spooky place. Overall did not fare well in my judgement , sorry fellas who adored this and high fives to those who feel similar to me.Also i believe the opening few minutes of the movie were very monotonous and its like you have seen it so many times, the scene which really got me back into the movie was the sparkles scene in which kate threw it out of the window.

Vacancy (2007): Dir: Nimrod Antal / Cast: Luke Wilson, Kate Beckinsale, Frank Whaley, Ethan Embry, Scott G. Anderson: Suspenseful thriller about the realm of terror. Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale play a bickering couple who, after car trouble stop into a remote motel. Their only luxury is video tapes of murders that they soon learn happened in the very room they are in. Director Nimrod Antal does a fantastic job with the location making every use of its secrets and passages. Third act becomes the standard hack and slash. Wilson and Beckinsale do very well as they struggle to survive the nightmare. What is even better is that the conclusion presents one of them as wounded while the other must face uncertain danger. Frank Whaley steals scenes as a sadistic motel manager who films the images on the very videos that the couple viewed. His departure comes at the reality of not paying attention to where you pommel your victim. Ethan Embry is wasted as a gas station clerk whose presence is obvious. Scott G. Anderson is billed as a character named Killer. One would suspect this poses a problem when presenting an I.D. There are a few masked men in this film that are standard props at best and are the victims of retaliation. While not a great thriller, it is ambitious with plenty of suspense to keep genre fans pleased. Entertaining thriller with a nearly vacated marriage. Score: 7 ½ / 10
