I love horror films, but they often disappoint me in that they trade true suspense and tension for gore.
An amount of gore is necessary to invoke fear of the villains, and I feel like the director of Vacancy used just enough.
What he is really skilled at is racking up the arm-rest gripping, hand-fidgeting tension.
I was still calming down after the movie had long ended.
If you liked Red Eye or the recent The Hitcher, you’ll definitely like this.
If you didn’t like either of those, try this out anyway.
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.
