#55, 4/22 – Vacancy (2007) (tofw)
I have no shame in saying I really enjoyed Vacancy, despite going in expecting very little from it. It is, after all, a thriller (and with horror elements, no less) and as I’ve said way too often, I find most thrillers kinda dull. But Vacancy worked for me. I found it strangely entertaining and riveting and involving, much like I did The Descent and The Host, which makes me wonder if I’m just in the right frame of mind to see a certain kind of thriller/adventure these days. Of course, it could well just be that each of those movies is enjoyable for what it is (and they are all very different) and it’s dumb luck that I’ve seen them all in the last couple of months.
