Vacancy Movie..

Plot

A couple, David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox (Kate Beckinsale) take a wrong turn on a remote mountain road. When their car breaks down, they realize they are in a cell phone dead zone, with no reception. They then decide to check into a completely isolated motel in a rural area with a strangely off-putting manager called Mason (Frank Whaley).

While in their room, a bored David takes a peek at the video tapes left on top of the television. As he watches the tapes, he realizes they are snuff films, taken in the very room in which they are staying. The couple are alarmed by this as well as loud, insistent banging coming from the door to the adjacent room, and try to run away. Men dressed in black and wearing masks stop them, and they return to their room. David makes a run to the motel's payphone booth to no avail, escaping it just before a car crashes into it. The couple decides to lock themselves in the room when they notice a truck pull in. They try to warn the truck driver only to find out that he's actually there to buy a box of tapes of the snuff films.

David and Amy escape into a tunnel that they discover in the bathroom of their room. Two of the masked people chase them inside the tunnel, but the couple evade them. David and Amy end up inside the manager's lair, where they find video monitors taping the entire hotel. Amy tries to make a call to 911 but is interrupted before she can give the operator any useful information. The couple sneak back into the tunnel, making their way into the auto garage across the lot from the motel. Meanwhile, the police unit responding to Amy's call arrives and David and Amy run to him as he checks the rooms. They all get inside the police car but it has been sabotaged and the killers murder the policeman while he looks under the hood.

The couple run into one of the other motel rooms. David hides Amy in a space inside the ceiling, whilst he ventures out. The killers catch and stab David and he ends up lying unconscious in the doorway. When morning comes, Amy comes down from the ceiling and finds where the killers hid their car. As Amy drives away, a killer breaks into the car from the sun roof, and in her effort to fend him off while driving, Amy crashes the car into the motel, killing her attacker as well as another one of the masked men, revealed to be the gas station attendant that earlier "helped" the couple with their car troubles, who is crushed against the front of the car. She runs into the reception area where she is attacked by an apoplectic Mason. As they fight, Mason beats Amy severely. But in his effort to get a good final shot with his hand-held digital video camera, Mason throws Amy within reach of a revolver she had dropped, and she shoots Mason three times. Amy immediately runs to David to find that he is still barely alive. She searches Mason's body carefully for the telephone cord he had pulled out of the wall and tried to use to strangle her, calls 911 again and returns to caress David, who is barely conscious but alive.

[edit] Reception

Vacancy opened at #4 in its first week at the box office grossing $7.6 million at 2,551 locations. In its second week, the film had a 45.9% drop-off, falling to a #8 position. The film has grossed a total of $28.4 million worldwide. The film received mixed reviews, with Rotten Tomatoes giving the film an average rating of 55%. "Vacancy's restraint with gore is commendable", said one critic. The Rotten Tomatoes "Cream of the Crop" raters scored it a "rotten," average of 58%.^[2][3]

[edit] DVD release

Vacancy was released on DVD on August 14, 2007 in both fullscreen and anamorphic widescreen, with Dolby Digital 5.1 audio. Special features include deleted scenes, a making-of featurette, the full versions of the snuff films, and a trailer gallery. It was also released on Blu-ray Disc and UMD for the PSP. Many versions shipped to Australia featured Sony DVD "anti-piracy" technology, which led to them being unreadable on most DVD players, including Sony DVD players. The DVD featured a commentary by Nimrod Antal, Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson all of whom claimed they thought the film was a great addition to the horror genre and for not using gore for scares but using psychological horror.

[edit] Advertising and promotion

The advertising strategy for the film has made use of the Internet as well as a toll-free phone number. In addition to the TV spots and trailers shown in theaters and on television, the toll free number is made to sound as if one is actually calling the motel in which the film is set. In the background, screaming can be heard accompanying the voice of the proprietor, who informs callers about "slashing" prices and the "killer" deals that the motel has—that is, if it is not vacant. The toll free phone number for the ad is 1-888-9-VACANCY (1-888-9-8222629). The voice of the proprietor is Frank Whaley who plays Mason in the film.

As of October 6, 2009, the toll-free phone number for the ad, 1-888-9-VACANCY (1-888-9-8222629) is still valid. Though instead of it starting off as it goes right to Mason, it says "Hello, thanks for calling. Please press 1 to make reservations at the Pine-Wood Motel, Press 2 to buy tickets for Vacancy off of Fandango, Press 3 for an operator." The bizzare thing is when the number was changed where pressing 2 would go to buying tickets to Vacancy off of Fandango the film was already gone from the theaters for almost a year and a half.

Since Vacancy is long gone from the theaters, pressing two disconnects you. Pressing one plays the normal intro, pressing two takes you to the front desk, pressing zero plays a scratchy recording of a call to the operator. When disconnected on the recording, it too disconnects you from the call.

In addition, the phone call also refers the caller to the film's website, which is also set up to be the site of the actual motel. After calling, one is given a "promotional code" (8889) which can be entered at the website,^[4] which then shows previews of the snuff films that the motel proprietor and various people created, taken from the set. It was assisted and directed by Julie Tsaruhas.

However, as of February 14, 2011, the phone number is no longer working. The automated response says the phone number is not available at the moment.

[edit] Prequel

Goofs og Vacancy Movie

Goofs for
Vacancy (2007) More at IMDbPro »
ad feedbackFactual errors: When the electricity is turned off and on,
the TV turns back on and the VCR begins playing again. In reality,
they would both remain off until manually turned on again. Even if
they could be programmed to start right up as soon as power is
resupplied, the video would pick up right where it left off before. In
the shots that show the TV as power goes off and back on, when the
picture comes back it shows a different scene in the snuff tape,
giving the impression that the VCR was running when nothing else was.

Continuity: The bathroom window has three panes of glass. When David
uses the towel bar to break the window, he breaks the center pane and
then the bottom pane. A few seconds later, he appears to smash the
bottom pane and then the center pane again.

Audio/visual unsynchronized: When Mason is giving David dimes, the
first coin to fall into David's *empty* hand makes the same
metal-on-metal clink as the others.

Continuity: During earlier scenes in the motel room, David's shirt
continually alternates between having a large patch of moisture on the
back and being wrinkled but dry.

Continuity: Early in the movie, when David looks out the outside door
of the room, he leaves the door ajar while checking the banging coming
from the door inside the room. When a long shot shows the whole room,
the outside door is closed.

Factual errors: When Amy jumps into the blue BMW she starts it with a
screwdriver. It has been proved that no post-1997 BMW is able to be
started with anything other than an actual coded key, because of the
immobilization system built into their cars.

Continuity: Early in the movie, just after checking into the motel,
the handset is put back on the phone at an angle. After it rings a
second time, and he goes to pick it up, the handset is back in the
correct position.

Continuity: When Amy and David climb out of the 'secret' door and into
the little store, David places the cover back over the door and we see
that the handle on the door's cover is closest to the table with the
cash register, however when David knocks that table over and the
camera pans back to the 'secret' door the handle is moved to the
opposite side.

Continuity: When David ejects the first tape from the VCR, it is a
different tape than the one he put in. The tape he then puts in is the
same one he put in the first time.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: In one of the snuff films it is shown
that the killers were banging a girl's head against the lights hanging
directly above the bed. But in the room in which Amy and David are
staying the lights are hanging by the side of the bed. It's possible
that this was filmed in one of the other rooms, however.

>>> WARNING: Here Be Spoilers <<<
Goofs below here contain information that may give away important plot
points. You may not want to read any further if you've not already
seen this title.

Continuity: SPOILER: When David peeks out of the tunnel in Mason's
video room, he pushes the latch up with the flashlight in his right
hand. In the next shot from outside of the tunnel, the flashlight is
not in his hand anymore.

Continuity: SPOILER: When David and Amy first go through the tunnel
and end up in the office, David is holding the flashlight in his hand
when he pushes up on the door. The camera angle changes to inside the
office and his hand is empty.

Continuity: SPOILER: The masked man we see in the room for a split
second (the one who planted the apple) had gained entry via the hatch
in the bathroom floor which was covered by a rug. If he left the room
the same way, the rug wouldn't be laying nicely on the floor as there
was no way he could rearrange it. When David and Amy finally discover
the trap door, the rug is flat and arranged nicely.

Incorrectly regarded as goofs: SPOILER: When the highway patrol
officer goes to investigate the 911 call, headquarters would be
expecting a response back sooner or later. It was at least an hour if
not more until 911 was contacted again, at which time the operator was
still under the impression the officer had checked the place out. In
reality, headquarters would have contacted the officer and upon there
being no response, sent another unit or more to investigate why the
highway patrol man didn't respond. Some viewers consider this
procedural discrepancy to be a clue that someone in the police is in
on it.

Factual errors: SPOILER: The apple from which Amy was cutting a slice
in the car in the beginning of the movie is later discovered "planted"
by the bathroom sink after the first blackout. At least 2 or 3 hours
have passed between when Amy cut the apple and when she finds it by
the sink in the room, but the apple hasn't browned at all during this
time, when it reality it would have browned within minutes of being
cut.

Plot holes: SPOILER: When David discovers the trap door in the
bathroom floor, the mat is flat over the door, however one of the bad
guys had already been in and out of the room through the trapdoor, to
deposit the apple. There would be no way for them to lay the mat back
flat after the door was closed.

Final Destination 5 Parts

Final Destination (2000)
Main article: Final Destination
In 1999, Alex Chance "Alex" Browning (Devon Sawa) is going on his high
school trip to Paris along with his fellow students and teachers.
Before Flight 180's take-off, Alex has a premonition that the flight
will explode on takeoff, killing everyone on board. When events from
his vision begin to repeat themselves in reality, he attempts to stop
the flight leading to a handful of passengers being left behind
including Clear Rivers (Ali Larter), Carter Horton (Kerr Smith), Billy
Hitchcock (Seann William Scott), Valerie Lewton (Kristen Cloke), Terry
Chaney (Amanda Detmer) and Tod Waggner (Chad Donella). After they are
forced off the plane, the airliner explodes in mid-air, killing
everyone left on it.

One month later, Tod is strangled in his shower. When Alex and Clear
go to see his body, mortician William Bludworth (Tony Todd) tells them
that Death is intervening to kill everyone who was meant to die on the
plane. One by one, the other survivors are killed in mysterious ways
until only Alex, Clear, and Carter are still alive. Six months later,
Alex, Clear and Carter travel to Paris. A freak incident causes a neon
sign to swing off a hinge towards Alex. Carter pushes Alex to the
ground, with the sign swinging down past the two of them. Carter then
stands up and turns to Alex who is still on the ground. As Carter asks
Alex who is next on Death's list, the neon sign swings back towards
Carter, leaving Alex and Clear as the last two survivors of Flight
180.

Main article: Final Destination 2
One year after the explosion of Flight 180, Kimberly "Kim" Corman (A.
J. Cook) has a premonition of a pile-up on Route 23, killing everyone
involved. She stalls her car on the entrance ramp with her friends
Shaina (Sarah Carter), Dano (Alex Rae) and Frankie (Shaun Sipos). This
stops police officer Thomas Burke (Michael Landes), Eugene Dix (T.C.
Carson), Rory Peters (Jonathan Cherry), Kat Jennings (Keegan Connor
Tracy), Nora and Tim Carpenter (Lynda Boyd and James Kirk), Evan Lewis
(David Paetkau), and pregnant Isabella Hudson (Justina Machado) from
entering the freeway. While Officer Burke questions Kimberly about the
inconvenience, her vision becomes a reality and an 18-wheeler truck
crashes into Kimberly's SUV, killing Shaina, Dano, and Frankie.

While the survivors are questioned at the police station, they are
informed of Alex and his vision of the Flight 180 disaster. Kimberly
visits Clear, the last remaining Flight 180 survivor in an asylum.
Kimberly and Officer Burke begin working to save the other survivors
using Kimberly's visions as clues. Clear then agrees to help and takes
them to visit Bludworth, who tells the group that they can escape
Death via new life. They conclude that delivering Isabella's unborn
baby will save the survivors. Isabella is taken into custody while the
others meet to keep each other alive. Isabella goes into labor and has
to be rushed to hospital. Meanwhile, it is revealed they all escaped
Death due to the Flight 180 passengers dying. Several of the survivors
are killed in a series of accidents. Kimberly, Officer Burke, Eugene,
and Clear race to the hospital, only to learn that Isabella was never
meant to die in the pile-up. Kimberly steals an ambulance and drives
into a lake. She is revived in the hospital by Dr. Kalarjian, which is
what Kimberly's vision was really about. Months later, Kimberly,
Officer Burke, and the Gibbons have a barbecue party, for which the
barbecue explodes and eventually kills Brian (a minor character whose
life was saved earlier in the film).

[edit] Final Destination 3 (2006)
Main article: Final Destination 3

(Alexz Johnson), Lewis Romero (Texas Battle), Frankie Cheeks (Sam
Easton), Ashley Freund (Chelan Simmons), Ashlyn Halperin (Crystal
Lowe), Julie Christensen (Amanda Crew), and Perry Malinowski (Maggie

roller coaster will start dying in the same order they were meant to
die in, just as the survivors of the Flight 180 did.

Once again, the survivors die in a series of strange accidents. Five
months later, Wendy is riding on a subway, where she meet Kevin and
Julie on the same train and suddenly has another premonition that the
train will derail, causing Julie to be hit by one of the train's
wheels, Kevin to be smashed between the subway and the side wall of

[edit] The Final Destination (2009)
Main article: The Final Destination
Ten years after the explosion of Flight 180, Nick O'Bannon (Bobby
Campo) has a premonition in which multiple race cars pile-up at the
McKinley Speedway, killing his friends and causing a sharp metal pole
to impale him through the chest. Nick panics, persuading his friends
Lori Milligan (Shantel VanSanten), Janet Cunningham (Haley Webb), and
Hunt Wynorski (Nick Zano), security agent George Lanter (Mykelti
Williamson), and spectators Andy Kewzer (Andrew Fiscella), Samantha
Lane (Krista Allen), Carter Daniels (Justin Welborn), and Nadia Monroy
(Stephanie Honoré) to leave the stadium, escaping seconds before
Nick's vision becomes a reality. When Nick hears of the deaths of some
of the survivors, he learns about the three previous disasters and
realizes that Death is coming for them. While Janet and Hunt refuse to
believe, Nick convinces Lori and George to help him conquer Death.
Nick, Lori and George try to save various members of the group and
succeed in saving Janet at a malfunctioning car wash.

George considers suicide but fails to kill himself. This leads the
survivors to believe that saving Janet has defeated Death. They start
to relax, but Nick realizes it is not over because there was another
survivor, Jonathan Grove (Jackson Walker). In a shopping mall and a
movie theater, Lori begins to see omens warning her that the danger is
not over. Nick goes to the shopping mall where Janet is killed in a
movie theater explosion and Lori is crushed by an escalator, all of
which is another premonition. Nick eventually saves Lori and Janet by
extinguishing the fire that would have caused the initial explosion.
Weeks later, Nick, Lori and Janet are heading to a cafe, where Nick
notices a loose leg on a scaffold outside the cafe and he tells a
construction worker to fix it. Once inside, Nick realizes that his
premonitions and signs, along with the disasters and deaths, are red
herrings from Death used to manipulate them into where and when it
would really come for them. The scaffold falls, a truck swerves and
crashes through the cafe window, crushing Janet, decapitating Lori and
causing Nick to hit the wall, crushing his skull.

gruesome accident

Top 10 Road Horror Trips

Wrong Turn (2003) / Wrong Turn 2 (2007)
Rob Schmidt's shocker was part of a wave of movies that looked to the
survival horrors of the late 70s and early 80s for its influence. This
one's about a bunch of young friends being stalked by cannibals in the
backwaters of American. Joe Lynch's fun 2007 sequel is also well worth
checking out.

Wolf Creek (2006) (pictured)
The vast Australian outback rather than the American Mid-West is the
setting for this brutal, nerve-shredding horror from Greg McLean. This
time four holidaymakers go in search of a meteorite crater and are
terrorised by local lunatic Mick Taylor (John Jarratt).

Jeepers Creepers (2001)
Two siblings are chased by a crazed Chevy-riding driver. Turns out
it's a flesh-chomping demon named 'The Creeper' who's on the search
for new victims… Victor Salva's popular horror spawned a 2003 sequel,
and a third movie is apparently on the cards.

Duel (1971)
Spielberg's first full-length movie (scripted by Richard Matheson) has
been much aped, but has lost none of its power to thrill. The movie
sees Dennis Weaver's businessman driving to an appointment and being
hunted by an unseen and unstoppable tanker truck driver.

The Hitcher (1986)
More highway-based terror in this classic chiller. C Thomas Howell
plays the man who is stalked by a crazed hitch-hiker (a quietly
menacing Rutger Hauer) on highways and at gas stations… The weak 2007
remake saw a young couple on a road trip being hunted, while Sean Bean
took over the role of villain.

The Vanishing (1988)
OK, so The Vanishing (or 'Spoorloss' in its original Dutch) is more of
a thriller than horror. But it's far more frightening than the
majority of slasher flicks – especially the unforgettable ending. Rex
and Saskia are a couple holidaying in France. When Saskia stops at a
service station she promptly vanishes. Rex spends years trying to find
her – before the abductor suddenly contacts him… It goes without
saying that you need to avoid the 1993 sequel.

House of 1000 Corpses (2003)
Rob Zombie's debut movie has its flaws (including some horrible
padding), but does boast a handful of horribly inventive sequences –
including one victim being turned into the 'fish boy' and a surreal
chase through labyrinthine tunnels. This time a group of friends are
on a road trip in search of legendary killer Dr Satan. Big mistake…

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre (1974)
Friends set out to visit a grave in Texas. On route they pick up a
chuckling maniac, and are subsequently stalked by the
chainsaw-wielding Leatherface and his cannibal family. "Who will
survive and what will be left of them?" asked the film's tagline.
Answer: Not many and not much.

The Hills Have Eyes (1977 and 2006)
A family head out for a well-earned holiday, but crash on a desert
road. Soon they're being picked off by a family of mutant cannibals…
Wes Craven's lean, nasty little shocker still packs a punch, while
Alexandre Aja offered up a surprisingly efficient and faithful remake
in 2006.

Are We There Yet? (2006)
A bachelor (Ice Cube) must travel thousands of miles with his
ex-girlfriend's horrible brattish kids... Possibly the most
frightening movie ever made. [That's enough Horror Road Trips - Ed.]
