Review of Vacancy (2007) by Bob B — 28 Nov 2015
This film couldn't have been any further out of left field if it tried. In one corner we have the beautiful and sultry Kate Beckinsale who has a spot-on American accent. Why did they make her American? I have no clue. Then we have her hubby, Luke Wilson. Them alone in a film that's outside of their typical genre (unless you count Underworld as horror, but even monster horror and slasher / torture horror are two completely different subgenres of horror)..
The plot is pretty cookie-cutter. We have a separated couple that is getting a divorce based on events that happened that led to the death of their child. A plot like that, has been seen before in slashers. As the film continues, the married couple grows stronger and rekindles their love. The weirdo antagonists in the film basically like illegally filming snuff films in motel rooms...I have no clue. It was a pretty shitty plot. This film is more fun because of the AAA actors involved in an anything but AAA film.
