Vacancy
It seems to me that the producers of this movie got together and said, “OK, we have enough money to make a 2 hour horror movie here, or we can get a couple of ‘name’ actors and drop it to 1:25. Thoughts?”
Well, based on the money it’s pulled in, I think they made a mistake, creatively, maybe not.
I liked this movie. I liked seeing actors who wouldn’t normally appear in a horror/slasher film running around for their lives. It was different than your normal teen slasher film, and added an interest level for me.
The buildup to the goings on might have been a little long and the back story was poorly fleshed out, but when the banging on the walls starts about 45 minutes into the movie, you do get the horror movie jitters.
I did think we were going to avoid the typical horror movie ending for something more gruesome, but I guess the film makers didn’t want to go in that direction.
Nevertheless, it’s a pretty good movie that you’ll probably have to wait for dvd or cable for, as it’s falling fast in the box office.
