Vacancy

Actually, I wanted to watch Die Hard 4.0 but I screwed up with the time and missed it by 20 minutes. Since I was already in front of the ticket counter, I though, oh well.. Let’s just watch the Vacancy.

Basically this movie was about a married couple (Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson) got lost and their car broke down in the middle of the night so they decided to spend the night at a cheap motel out of no where. Turn out to be the motel was run by a psycho killer/sick movie maker/video tape seller. Wha?!! Yeah, exactly what I was thinking. But then it’s a slasher movie, so I wasn’t expecting anything less on the first place.

The acting was good, although the starting of the movie, Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson keep on jumping on each other’s throat and it was annoying. And from time to time Vacancy made me jump a few time. But that was the only good thing about the movie. Other than that, it was ridiculous!

For starters, Vacancy got the worst looking slasher killer of all. And the fact that they tape their killings in the honeymoon suite and sell it to the truckers, what was that all about? The truckers?! You risk yourself getting a death penalty for that? It’s a honeymoon suite, right? Might as well you tape the honeymooners having sex and sell it on the net, that could make you a better business!

Oh well, at least, this is the movie that offers you a logical explanation regarding how a slasher killer could appear out of nowhere. Another thing that I learned from Vacancy was, after a good night sleep, you’ll be able to defeat the bad guys single handedly. So, people, panic no more, get your beauty sleep and everything will be ok.

How much would I give for this movie? Hmm.. 2 out of 5 stars would be all. Oh, by the way, was the raccoon part of the plan too? Haha!
