I enjoyed the movie for what it was right up until the last 5 minutes. What a crappy ending. They set it up for one more thrill, and then...nothing.

The wife and I just watched this and both really enjoyed it. We liked that they set up the classic "one more thrill" ending but didn't go with the cliche. :)

Just watched it. I don't think I could be more disappointed. It reminded me of a b-movie that I used to watch as a kid on a saturday afternoon.

I'm not sure why they bothered to have big name actors in it, since there was no acting involved. Luke Wilson is one of the last people I would have chosen for a suspenseful role like this.

The ending seemed like they ran out of film and just decided to call it quits.

If you liked this, make sure to check out Vacancy 2: The First Cut. :D
