Movie Review (Vacancy):

I watched Vacancy a few weeks ago and it was good, not great just good. It's about this couple David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox (Kate Beckinsale) on vacation and they end up getting lost cause David sucks at directions. Their car breaks down right in front of an old gas station. Isn't it a little odd that their car happens to break down right when they get to the gas station??? Somethings not right here. The mechanic jumps out of nowhere and scares the couple, pansies! He fixes their car and asks where their going and David being the dumb ass that he is tells him! Let's get one thing straight here, you never tell a total stranger where your going. Why? I don't know maybe it's so he wont go there and try to kill you. He gives them directions on how to get there since he's such a great citizen. Pfff! They drive up to a motel where they decide to stay and get some sleep and they don't even think twice about what the motel looks like. It's okay shady motels are in style these days. They walk through the door and they hear screaming and instantly their confused as to what's going on. If I walked through the door of a shady looking motel and heard screaming coming from the back room I wouldn't stand there and wait to see what's going on I would get the hell out of there. Nope that's not true I wouldn't even stop and go inside, I'm sorry but I'm not sleeping on hooker sheets. The motel attendant finally comes out to help them and tells them that the screaming is coming from a tape recorder cause it gets boring at night, um I'm all for having kinky fetishes cause I have a few ;) but that's just effing weird. Oh before I forget, the attendant looks just as shady as the motel does. CLASSIC!! He sets them up in a room and once they get settled in Amy just wants to sleep but David wants to pop in a video tape that just so happens to be sitting on the t.v. Dude, haven't you seen the ring?! The tape plays and it shows a bunch of girls in a motel room being tortured and killed by two masked killers. He takes the tape out and puts in another one and it shows just one girl being killed by the same killers, he puts in the last tape and it's a husband and wife being killed. After watching the last tape he realizes that each tape is filmed in the same room and he realizes that their in that exact room. Someone starts banging on the doors and windows just like in the tapes. They freak out cause they know that if they don't get out of the motel their going to be the stars of the next horror movie.They hide and call the cops for help cause that's what you do when you're in trouble and some one's on you're ass trying to kill you. The cop shows up searches the motel and finds the video tapes and of course he freaks out that's when David and Amy run out so they jump in the police car and notices that the killers messed up the wires so the car wont start then they shoot the cop. Amy and David run back to the room and wait there for a minute then Amy hides in the closet while David is out in the open and the killer jumps out and stabs David while the shady motel attendant is filming the whole thing. Sick bastard! Later on Amy runs to her car and tries to drive off but the killer jumps onto her car while the car is in motion and tries to grab her then Amy drives right through the room and hits the other killer pinning him against the wall and that obviously kills him. The other killer's head goes through the windshield and dies. Amy jumps out and gets in a fight for her life with the attendant, he throws her against the room and she lands by a gun that's lying on the floor and shoots him, that gun sure came in handy. She calls the police again to tell them she needs help and you know what they say?! "Oh we already sent out a officer" No shit Sherlock, and they killed him! Stupid cops.

Amy runs back to David her husband that's laying on the floor by the motel door all bloody. She starts crying and turns him over and that wakes him up. He's not dead just "out of it" well he did get stabbed and lose a lot of blood, I'd be out of it too, then the movie is over. This movie wasn't bad I just think they should of added more stuff to it, I don't know what I just know it could of used a little more pop to it. I know it needed more blood, for being the type of movie that it is, it definitely needs more blood. I give this movie 3 1/2 out of 5 Skulls.
