There are gruesome images, many chases, lots of swearing, and brief breasts. Although this is a good film, it has a little bit weaker ending than normal films. But, it still does have some resolution. So, sit back, and enjoy if you can, due to the scariness. Thanks for reading - Movie Man. Adult Written by jjbeanz April 9, Fantastically scary and terrifyingly good!
I went to see this with my son, 13, and we both love horror movies, especially when there is lots of gore. We knew we would love this when the rating said "brutal violence and terror". Little did we know that this movie is actually just a suspenseful movie, with a little bit of PG gore in it.
The suspense in this movie is wonderful, and the plot is very well written. The characters do not act like idiots, they actually do some smart tactics. The language is somewhat strong, but it is mainly out of desperation and anger that it is used by. The nudity isn't used sexually, it is used to intensify the snuff videos. The most you see are breasts, but only for about 5 seconds.
The gore isn't seen until the near end of the movie, maybe a teeny bit in the middle, but other than that, nothing bad at all. Parent of a 1-year-old Written by GambleFam April 9, From start to finish there was NO point to it and the gruesome, bloody and horrific scenes made it a horrible film.

How old is your kid? Have an account? They sink deeper into frustration and depression, blaming each other for not handling the tragedy acceptably, unaware that their relationship is about to get a jolt of hard reality. The car breaks down, and they find themselves stuck in a seedy motel run by a thoroughly odious desk clerk Frank Whaley. It's not long before they realize their bad luck: No sooner does David notice that the videotapes left in the room are snuff killings which take place in that very room than someone begins pounding on the walls and doors.
Their stalkers are ominous men in black who carry knives and wear masks. Amy and David quickly deduce that they're now the prey, at which point they start plotting a series of escapes, which -- thanks to no cell service, no car, and no civilization in sight -- keep failing. And so they keep getting cornered, which means they must return again and again to the Terrible Room, where they anticipate the gruesome fate they've seen on the videotapes.
VACANCY opens with a bracing credits sequence that's all hard angles, stark colors red, black, yellow , and terrific, '60s-style score. It's an efficient introduction to a movie that knows just what it is: Eighty minutes of mostly entertaining tension punctuated by violence engineered by a nerdy creep using criminally outdated technology. As contrived and regular as the couple's situation soon turns they tearfully reunite in jeopardy, potential saviors don't work out, every door leads to another yucky room, etc.
Neat in its own grisly way, Vacancy delivers what it promises. Families can talk about the fact that many horror movies use a familiar formula -- protagonists stuck somewhere terrifying -- to put viewers in another familiar place: being afraid at the movies.
Why do people like being scared at the movies? What makes some horror movies better at accomplishing this goal than others? Does it matter that many of them end in similar ways? Families can also talk about how Amy and David's experience in the motel brings them back together, as their past becomes less important than their efforts to survive.

Taut, grisly horror movie has unexpected bite. R 80 minutes.
Rate movie. Watch or buy. Based on 9 reviews. The setting is one dirty hole of a motel, but the dirt is not merely confined to the structure and basic house keeping of the place, the worst dirt comes in a terrifying form that is fully formed from the moment we meet the creepy motel manager a wonderfully cheesy Frank Whaley.
What follows is the usual jumps and perilous set ups, and a quirky line in labyrinth adventure. But then that ending that almost derails the whole picture, it does hurt it because we the viewers can only feel let down that the makers chose to not stay with what would have been an impacting turn of events. But for a film that's homaging films and thriller maestros from the past and clearly doing what it set out to do, it's to me a forgivable error. It's not taking itself too seriously, and you shouldn't too, just check in with the Fox's and get involved with the thrills.
