Vacancy 2 -
I knew the first one wasn't that good. But it had Kate Beckinsale. This one has Agnes Bruckner so I decided to give it a watch. She's been in a few horror movies. I thought the opening twist was pretty good. But then it goes downhill for some of the most boring dialog I've heard in a while. Maybe the actors were just too generic. Or maybe they were supposed to be that way. Whatever the case, it's here that once again we see why prequel or origin stories in horror movies don't work. After the boring stuff it's by the numbers modern horror complete with the annoying character. Usually a Black or Asian guy. This time it's a Black guy. But the annoying Asian was in the opening so they didn't miss that cliche anyway. I guess because Agnes Bruckner was in horror movies before she gets the strongest role. So if you want to see this for her. I guess it's somewhat passable. If not then avoid this one. It even has one of the worst final shots I've ever seen in a movie. A crappy spinning shot.
