Vacancy (2007)
description written by member Zara:
A couple's car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and they decide to take up temporary residence in a creepy little motel where the only entertainment is from the television.

Hmm... I wonder why he's not on the cast list. (Ethan Embry, that is. I love that guy.)

The back of the DVD said something along the lines of making the viewer "squirm in their seats", and squirm I did indeed.

Horror movies are a dime a dozen these days. The horror genre has expanded to fit so many new sub-categories (the "PG-13 horror", the "torture-porn", the "Asian horror re-make", etc.) that audiences can quickly get burned out. The release date for "Vacancy" was probably not the best. In April alone audiences saw...
