      It's just entertainment, why are there so many requirements?

      The two people who run a motel initially filmed secretly to satisfy voyeurism and sell video tapes. Later, because of the addition of a perverted killer, they became filming killing games and selling video tapes. Is it to satisfy perverted desires, or is it for profit from selling tapes? Maybe the former has more reasons. In the end, after killing a lot of people, the two people who opened the hotel were finally killed, but the perverted killer managed to escape, which not only left a suspense...

      IQ is hard

      The protagonist ran into the monitoring room once, and there was a gun outside, but such a good opportunity was wasted. Secondly, as for the monitoring equipment, if you saw it, you should destroy it, blind the enemy's eyes, and then let the birds fly. Finally, there are some bugs, the speed of the enemy appears too fast, what about playing games? What about flash? The police got out of the car and opened the hood and the enemy flashed behind him without making a sound. In the end, if you meet...

      Be careful when choosing horror movies

      It's been a long time since I watched a movie, and the dorm is very busy recently (because my nephew is here...haha), so I decided to watch a horror movie together - nothing can attract so many people's interest than a horror movie. I, who boasted that I have seen a lot of horror films, took on the task of selecting films. The requirements mainly included a few points: 1. It is best to be a new film in 2009; 2. It is best not to be European and American, not that their films are bad, just In...

      "Huh? That's it?", "Well, that's it.

      An optimistic attitude is a very important factor for people to survive in a desperate situation.
          This wonderful horror film combines the advantages of Western horror film masking and Eastern horror film's psychological suspense, and vividly outlines the characters' situations and their reactions.
          It is undeniable that even if the film is suspected of being a soft advertisement for BMW cars, it still exudes an irresistible, almost suffocating strong charm.
          I don't...

      Pinhole Hotel, who is scaring?

      Honestly speaking, this film is rubbish. The murder video is a good horror element, but there is no bloody smell at all. It's a pity and regret! At the beginning, they found that their room was full of cameras, and the TV was constantly playing murder tapes (of the first few victims). As a result, the horror just took off, and the next development was a game of cat and mouse. .

         They tried desperately to hide and escape, and the boss chased them under the surveillance of the camera...

    Creative background

    Screenwriter Mark L. Smith Smith was driving with his wife on an unlighted highway in New Mexico one day. He noticed that there were many small motels scattered on both sides of the road, and it seemed that there were no guests. Smith was thinking at the time, why they want to open their doors here, and what they rely on to make a living, and thus got the inspiration for the film. Smith knew that in order to make the story both scary...

    Evaluation action

    The plot of "Vacancy" has a strong sense of horror. With a strict horror atmosphere, the film’s handling of the plasma within the minimum range is commendable, but from the story to the characters are relatively common settings, lacking freshness. Much of the tension in the game is created by a fast pace, and C+'s media review is not satisfactory (Sina Entertainment Review)  .
    The storytelling of "Vacancy" is straight to the point, and...

    Movie quotes

    • Amy Fox: Why didn't you just stay on the interstate?

      David Fox: I don't know. I guess I just wanted to make this as miserable as possible, you know? See just how big a bitch you'd be about it.

    • David Fox: [driving to gas station] Do you think they're closed?

      Amy Fox: Since 1957.

      David Fox: That's too bad, because they've got good gas prices.

    • Mechanic: [after inspecting car] The fan blade's bent. Rock must've hit it. Yeah, she'll drive fine just noisy, that's all. You might want to have someone smarter than me take a look at it when you get where you're going, though.

      David Fox: I'll do that, thanks. So now what do I owe you?

      Mechanic: Oh, no, nothing. No, we're good. Hell, I should pay you for finally giving me something to do.
