Amy and David are close to ending their marriage, and share one final journey, the pair break down and check into a hotel, one which hides a very bleak secret.
The snuff film thriller was definitely in vogue back in 2007, it's a genre that has definitely died away, but Vacancy is a film that's well worth revisiting.
I'm not sure why, but I've always thought this film has an Alfred Hitchcock vibe about it, even that music in the opening credits seems to fit the bill.
A good old fashioned game of cat and mouse, with Amy and David taking on their captors, fortunately they're noy the brightest bunch.
Genre wise it's pretty much a horror thriller, I only wish they had ramped up the horrors element a little more.
It's not particularly unique, but it's very watchable, it's well paced, and given the fairly short running time it moves along without any lull.
Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson are both very competent in their respective roles.
7/10.
