Critics Consensus

Vacancy's restraint with gore is commendable, the thin characters and B-movie cliches less so.

Joshua Land Time Out Rated: 4/5 Nov 18, 2011 Full Review Derek Malcolm London Evening Standard This more than slightly familiar scenario doesn't give the principals much scope for acting. Rated: 2/5 Jun 15, 2007 Full Review Anthony Quinn Independent (UK) director Nimrod Antal settles for a more generic horror-ride as the imperatives of stalk-and-escape take hold. For a while, though, this is first-rate second-hand material. Rated: 3/5 Jun 15, 2007 Full Review Akos Peterbencze The Screen Every unsettling knock, ominous shadow, and piercing flash of light is there to yank us into the panic and dread that rushes through Amy and David’s bloodstream like snake venom. Nov 26, 2024 Full Review Patrick Cavanaugh The Wolfman Cometh Entirely forgettable and predictable, ultimately wasting an otherwise talented cast. Rated: 2/5 Sep 22, 2023 Full Review C.H. Newell Father Son Holy Gore Vacancy doesn't always deliver. What it does is keep things eerie, uncertain, and tries its best to follow in the vein of the slasher sub-genre. Rated: 3.5/5 May 3, 2019 Full Review Read all reviews

Oaklee D Even though I can never take Owen Wilson or his brother Luke seriously. This movie was way better than it probably had any right to be. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Michael B Very--Very Scary An Suspenseful,This Is A On the Edge Of Your Seet movie, BROVO.😱😱😱😀😀😀 Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/18/24 Full Review Jonathan O Is Psycho meets Saw meets The Strangers in a very effective home invasion slasher horror snuff movie and is really creepy and scary as hell. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 06/17/24 Full Review Rick S The plot is disjointed and illogical at many points and seems to run out of ideas on how the cat and mouse chase can keep going. The last 10 minutes of the movie basically is why this movie was made that the bad guys got what they deserved Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/16/24 Full Review Hargie M Though it didn't quite terrify me, the constant sense of impending danger kept me thoroughly engaged. Stranded in a desolate motel, the protagonists' obliviousness to the peril surrounding them sets the stage for a suspenseful journey filled with unexpected twists. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 05/02/24 Full Review Audience Member This slasher horror is kind of good, acting is alright and the couple are very believable about each other. It does have very typical horror tropes like stuck in one location and trying to a survival the night and the owner or manager already weird how he been acting. The movie does a good job setting up everything real quickly even with the running time. Do like there is lot twists and turns as movie goes forward plus ending is kind of good. All in all boat bad I give a B-👍🏽👍🏽 Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/19/24 Full Review Read all reviews
