Vacancy Review


This film was released in Indian Cinema halls here in India. One of my friends suggested me this film and i went to watch this piece of Garbage.

The film starts with a good premise and ends up going nowhere.David Fox (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox (Kate Beckinsale) are couples who gets trapped in this motel where the owner has fixed a camera in every room. He kills people and makes Sadistic Films out of it and sells. The start of the film is very promising. But later when the film proceeds, You start to imagine what will happen in the next minutes. I am sorry but i will not call this a Thriller. A thriller is supposed to give you Joilts. And this one doesn't.

This is a typical straight B Grade slasher that neither entertains nor gives any Shock Value. It still doesn't matter if it's a B Grade Slasher (Which this film tries to be) but there should be some kind of Excitement in it?? I have seen some very good Independent B Grade Slashers... I wish i had not seen this film.I wonder how actors such as Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale agreed to work in such kinds of films. There are so many other Thrillers that can be watched but not this one. The Film Maker Nimrod Antal could've easily made this film more gripping. But given a Bad Script, What can a Film Maker do?

If you think that you are about to watch a Hard Core thriller by watching this film. I will suggest it's better to stay away!
