Entertainment Weekly
Vacancy is a schlock surprise: a no-frills motel-hell slasher film -- with a bit of soul. - 75
ReelViews
For the most part, this movie hits the right notes and gives its audience a dose of white-knuckle tension. - 75
Chicago Tribune
It's a sordid but expert shocker. - 70
Village Voice
Antal smartly adheres to the no-frills demands of B-movie horror, eliciting impressive chills from old-fashioned suffocating dread rather than the now usual gore. And Wilson and Beckinsale superbly execute everything that's required of their characters--namely, yelling and running. - 67
The A.V. Club
Making an assured transition to Hollywood after his Hungarian cult sensation "Kontroll," director Nimród Antal gets his business done with an efficiency that recalls "Red Eye," another thriller that clocks in under 90 minutes. But efficiency isn't everything, and Antal sacrifices too much in order to sustain tension. - 63
Premiere
Vacancy could have been some sort of satirical masterpiece had this whole scenario been finally revealed as an extreme form of couple's therapy designed to get Beckinsale and Wilson back together. - 50
New York Magazine (Vulture)
If "Psycho" and "Peeping Tom" are the seminal killer-as-voyeur movies, Vacancy is the nasty little runt offspring with no other purpose in life but to gnaw on you. - 50
The Hollywood Reporter
While the sadism doesn't stoop -- rise? -- to the level of the "Saw" horror-thrillers, Vacancy does have a name cast.
