This movie could have been PG-13, although I think it was right in the middle of Pg-13 and R. I say it's a waste of time, and not to bother watching it.

What Parents Need to Know
About Vacancy
Parents need to know that this horror movie isn't for kids, even those who like star Luke Wilson based on his romantic comedies. The violence is bloody and, once it starts, incessant. The prelude is even worse (snuff tapes show horrific attacks on victims with big knives, with screaming women's breasts exposed). The female lead takes prescription pills to combat depression; language includes lots of "f--k"s and plenty of other swearing.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the fact that many horror movies use a familiar formula -- protagonists stuck somewhere terrifying -- to put viewers in another familiar place: being afraid at the movies. Why do people like being scared at the movies? What makes some horror movies better at accomplishing this goal than others? Does it matter that many of them end in similar ways? Families can also talk about how Amy and David's experience in the motel brings them back together, as their past becomes less important than their efforts to survive.

Wasn
I loved to watch horror movies when I was 12 and 13, and I saw this one with two friends at 1 in the morning. I found no part of it to be scary, which really says something, since I was terrified of EVERYTHING when I was 13. I think the main problem with this movie was the horror was too predictable.

The movie is vacant of talent...
Let me first say that this should have been rated PG-13, because it's basically the same teen horror that barely supplies any suspense. It's a good thing this movie had Kate Beckinsale and was short, otherwise I would have shut off the DVD player, because the acting was unrealistic, it wasn't scary, and the movie was so wooden and pathetic, it wasn't worth my money. Depending on how much your teen can take, this would be fine for middle schoolers and up. The nudity CSM says is in this movie is barely visible.

DO NOT RENT THIS MOVIE!!!
First off I will NEVER rent another movie without checking THIS website! This movie was one of the worst films I have EVER SEEN!!! From start to finish there was NO point to it and the gruesome, bloody and horrific scenes made it a horrible film. This was a HUGE disappointment on the star actors, “Luke Wilson and Kate Beckinsale.†Definitely NOT an “Alfred Hitchcock†type movie.

Fantastically scary and terrifyingly good!
I went to see this with my son, 13, and we both love horror movies, especially when there is lots of gore. We knew we would love this when the rating said "brutal violence and terror". Little did we know that this movie is actually just a suspenseful movie, with a little bit of PG-13 gore in it. The suspense in this movie is wonderful, and the plot is very well written. The characters do not act like idiots, they actually do some smart tactics. The language is somewhat strong, but it is mainly out of desperation and anger that it is used by. The nudity isn't used sexually, it is used to intensify the snuff videos. The most you see are breasts, but only for about 5 seconds. The gore isn't seen until the near end of the movie, maybe a teeny bit in the middle, but other than that, nothing bad at all. 14+.
