1446 - Vacancy


Working through a new draft of a horror-flick so I wanted to set the mood for myself. I might dig into a few other horror films in the next little bit. I always have a crush on Kate Beckinsale, but I like that here she's played like a pretty normal woman. It works well for her. Luke Wilson, who I normally don't care much for, is good here. There relationship has a dynamic and a history.
This film does a lot with it's premise. If you're a big fan of body count then you'll be happier with something else. But if you want a thrilling little creep-fest then this is probably the film for you. It's got some nice moments and set pieces and keeps it tense right up into the final moments. Far better than I'd expected!
