Unlimited Horror

Vacancy 2 is the prequel to its counter part, Vacancy, and in all aspects you can watch the second without previously watching the first. Director Eric Bross has done a very good job at keeping the terror and the suspense of key scenes throughout the movie, I don’t think we have see the last of this director.

Vacancy 2 opens to a couple that are just married and needing a bed for the night, the couple are given the infamous room 6 at the Meadow View Inn. While the couple frolic around the bed we are shown the perverted views of Gordon and Reece who are recording the couple for to sell. Meadow View Inn get a second couple of guests, Mr Smith.

Mr Smith takes his partner into room 6 and brutally murders her with out knowing he is being watched by the peeping toms. Gordon and Reece confront Mr Smith and apprehend him until they know what to do. Eventually they come around to the idea of working with Mr Smith and recording killings to sell instead of peeping tom videos.

Another car drives up this time with three, one of the three, Tanner, stumbles across a TV that has been hooked up to the cameras and alerts his other 2 friends. With Gordon, Smith and Reece aware of there find, they start to scare, intimidate and abuse them until the end…

When the script for Vacancy 2 was being written, Sony must have realised that they wanted the gore and blood levels increased. Vacancy as a prequel certainly delivers and with some very good scenes such as the finale. The only bad points about Vacancy 2 is the ending scene is a bit confusing, it could have been taken a few ways.

Agnes Bruckner as the main character, Jessica, puts in a very good performance.

With 2008 not being the best year in terms of horror movies, it already looks like horror fans will have more than enough to keep them happy next year.

I give this a gruesome 7 out of 10
