Synopsis:
A suspenseful, classic thriller, in the tradition of Alfred Hitchcock, starring Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale, that will keep you on the edge of your seat and your heart pounding! When David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox's (Kate Beckinsale) car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they are forced to spend the night at the only motel around, with only the TV to entertain them... until they discover that the low-budget slasher videos they find in their room were all filmed in the very room they're sitting in. With hidden cameras now aimed at them... trapping them in rooms, crawlspaces, underground tunnels... and filming their every move, David and Amy must struggle to get out alive before whomever is watching them can finish their latest masterpiece.

CRITIC REVIEWS
Lew Irwin

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."
