Vacancy Ratings & Reviews

I've never been more frustrated with two movie characters in my life. They are the most incompetent when it comes to survival. I thought this was a really cool concept that is totally squandered by a weak ass script. The struggling couple that's getting divorced plays out so dry and wooden. This film goes straight into bullshit land when Luke wilsons character knows there's a gun located at the front desk and after hell breaks loose is literally right ontop of a gun. He doesn't go maybe I should look up and grab a weapon that can save my life. Also they don't think of grabbing any sort of weapon period??? How bout the toilet lid, the curtain rod,or that glass that you took the time to shatter. This movie is laughably bad...
Austin Chronicle
Marc Savlov
Nothing in Vacancy manages to come anywhere close to the quiet and steadily mounting dread of the real thing, much less the purview of Norman Bates or his beloved mother.
Philadelphia Inquirer
Steven Rea
Vacancy, in the end, simply offers a particularly aggressive brand of couples counseling.
USA Today
Scott Bowles
It's welcome to see another movie that relies more on apprehension and suspense than torture chambers. Vacancy might not get Mr. Hitchcock smiling from above. But he won't be spinning in his grave, either.
UGO
Brian Tallerico
You'll start to wonder if anyone grasped the irony of making a movie about snuff films that actually kind of feels like one itself.
New York Post
Lou Lumenick
Packs a lot of old-fashioned shocks into its taut 80-minute running time.
New York Daily News
Elizabeth Weitzman
Short, sharp and to the point, Vacancy has a single goal, and that is to scare the hell out of you. It's not as gleefully sadistic as, say, Hostel, but it will give you one very rough night's sleep. Naturally, I mean that as a compliment.
Detroit News
Tom Long
Passable spook-show nightmare scary fare.
Denver Post
Michael Booth
A quick and dirty job, a mean little movie ripping off the atmosphere and decorations of Psycho and a half-dozen other horror-thriller classics.
Chicago Sun-Times
Teresa Budasi
You start to think you're going to get a first-rate psychological thriller and instead you get third-rate schlock, with some legitimate scary moments but no insight into the motivation behind [Frank Whaley's character's] psychosis.
Boston Globe
Ty Burr
There's no agenda in Vacancy other than to keep you in a state of nervous collapse for 85 minutes, but [director] Antal fulfills it honorably for the most part.
MovieFreak.com
Sara Michelle Fetters
At a fast and furious 80 or so minutes, director Nimrod Antal drops viewers into a feverishly pulsating meat grinder and then refuses to let them go.
New York Times
Manohla Dargis
This banal horror retread involves a couple of critters flailing inside a sticky trap for what is, in effect, the big-screen equivalent of a roach motel.
Los Angeles Times
Sam Adams
Vacancy becomes a critique of sadistic thrillers, at the same time still serving as a crackerjack example of the genre.
Christian Science Monitor
Peter Rainer
So little is going on in it that you might as well be watching a sadistic lab experiment performed on mice.
AV Club
Scott Tobias
Efficiency isn't everything, and [director] Antal sacrifices too much in order to sustain tension: Imagine what Michael Haneke or Brian De Palma would have done with a premise like this one.
Chicago Reader
Jonathan Rosenbaum
80 minutes of formulaic unpleasantness isn't even close to my idea of a good time, and I doubt that Hitchcock himself could have done very much with Mark L. Smith's script.
Newsday
Gene Seymour
An all-night cat-and-mouse game, conducted with antic drive by director Nimrod Antal and carried along with conviction by the cast.
Premiere Magazine
Glenn Kenny
An economical (less than 90 minutes) and often brutally effective scare machine that sometimes, somehow, manages to feel less derivative than it is.
Washington Post
Desson Thomson
[Director] Antal's slickly edited, fast-moving style is the best thing about this otherwise-cliched movie.
