Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe advertising strategy for the film made use of the Internet as well as a toll-free phone number. The number was made to sound as if one is actually calling the Pinewood Motel. 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, if it has a vacancy. The voice of the proprietor is none other than Frank Whaley's. The toll free phone number for the ad was 1-888-9-VACANCY (1-888-982-22629). The toll-free phone number is no longer valid.
- GoofsAt the end she phones 911 again and the operator tells her: "an officer has already responded." In reality they would have dispatched another unit once they didn't get feedback from the 1st call out.
- Quotes
David Fox: I guess it could be worse, you know. We could be stuck in that twin bed at your folk's house, trying to pretend like we're a happy couple.
Amy Fox: God, I should've told my mom about us.
David Fox: Why ruin their party though? I think the thing to do is just tell them after we've signed the papers. It felt really strange to be at that party. Watching them all, celebrate being together all those years. How'd it make you feel?
Amy Fox: I don't know. Tired.
David Fox: I'm sorry. Never should've gotten off the interstate, either.
Amy Fox: Miss our last one great adventure together?
- Crazy creditsThe opening credits turn repeatedly, hiding one set and revealing another. At the end, there is a set of turns and the camera pulls back to reveal a maze.
Luke Wilson and Kate Beckensale ( perfect cast ) play a couple who check into a motel after a long drive,the rest is an intense ride That will glue you eyes to the screen.I see the movie as a tribute to the 70's thriller/horror/action ( home invasion, psychotic killer type of films )You can see this right from the opening credits. There are moments where Vacancy could go bad and disappointing ( I was actually waiting for it )but it did not ( a bit on the ending being cliché, but I was OK to give it a pass ).WELL DIRECTED, WELL CAST, AND WELL SHOT.
