Keeps you guessing

My husband bought this for me and I love it. Has the suspense to keep you on the edge of your seat and guessing. Give a try you just may like it.

Tunnels Of Love...

David and Amy Fox (Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale) are in the final days of their marriage. They simply can't get past the grief of losing their son, Charlie. Now, all the couple does is fight and snipe at each other. This is their last trip together before their divorce. David, not being the greatest navigator, has gotten them lost in a desolate area. To make matters worse, the car's engine gives out. Luckily, there's a small, lonely motel within walking distance. So, the Foxes bicker and argue their way back there. Upon arrival, the Foxes encounter a very odd desk-clerk (Frank Whaley), who is about as accomodating as he is friendly. He sets them up in room 4 (the honeymoon suite) and goes back to the blood-freezing screams of the video he had been watching in his office. David and Amy explore their room, finding it gross, but unfortunately necessary. Then, the phone rings and the mysterious pounding begins. VACANCY is a tense, shock-fiesta of a movie, w/ plenty of spiralling-out-of-control nuttery. Wilson and Beckinsale are at their best as the besieged and terrorized Foxes. The men who play their psychotic captors have just the right amount / mixture of lunacy and menace. Highly recommended...

Predictable but entertaining

A la the very obvious backdrop of Psycho, Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale deliver nearly shrill preformances in a somewhat predictable outcome as they are trapped in a horror story.

Wilson and Beckinsale, in perhaps the most hostile couple ever caught on film, are driving in the middle of the night, hopelessly lost. Way off course and hating each other by the minute (they just had to throw in the telltale photograph of their son who has died under unknown conditions), they stop at a sleazy hotel to sleep it off when they discover some videotapes. They realize their room is bugged with video equipment, and the murders they see on the tapes have taken place in the very hotel room where they are staying. The movie unfolds into their harrowing attempts to escape.

It had some potential, but it didn't quite fly off as real suspense. Instead it turned into one botched attempt after another. Predictable and kind of hysterical, especially on Beckinsale's part. Luke Wilson is still in the shadow of his more famous brother Owen and still trying to get out from under him. Even though he gives everything the old college try, this wasn't his vehicle to put him on the same page.
