Roxio CinemaNow - Vacancy

Horror films rarely receive much praise from critics. Vacancy, starring Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson, is getting quite a lot of it. Gene Seymour in Newsday writes: "The movie executes its every borrowed, nerve-bruising plot twist with such gruesome efficiency that it makes you feel as grimy, wasted and worked-over as its prospective victims." Scott Bowles in USA Today comments that "it's welcome to see another movie that relies more on apprehension and suspense than torture chambers." Lou Lumenick in the New York Post concedes that the film may appeal more to his fellow critics than it will to the target audience for such movies. "The filmmakers don't linger over the nasty stuff anywhere near long enough to satisfy gorehounds, but for the first time in quite a while you actually care about the victims -- who are not, as usual, horny teenagers," he observes. ""Vacancy feels like it was made by people who love movies and perhaps have seen a lot of them," Ty Burr concludes in the Boston Globe. But Bob Strauss in the Los Angeles Daily News remarks that the film isn't much of anything. "Its main virtue is modesty, but that's also its downfall." And Manohla Dargis in the New York Times dismisses it as a "banal horror retread."

This movie was fantastic , never a dull moment !!!!!! quite unpredictable.
