''Vacancy'' is a 2007 American horror film directed by Nimród Antal and starring Kate Beckinsale and Luke Wilson. It was distributed by Screen Gems and was released on April 20, 2007. Early in the film's development, it was thought that Sarah Jessica Parker was going to be in the film. A September 2006 article in ''The Hollywood Reporter'' announced that Kate Beckinsale had signed on to replace Parker. ==Plot== On their way home from a family party, married couple David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox, (Kate Beckinsale) who are planning to divorce after their young son Charlie accidentally died, take a wrong turn on a remote mountain road. When their car breaks down, they discover they are lost in the middle of nowhere with no cell phone reception, and decide to start walking back to The Pinewood Motel where they had earlier consulted with a mechanic about noises with the car. The couple arrive at the motel where there are no other cars parked. At the counter desk, they couple hear piercing screams coming from the back room which makes Amy reluctant to stay. The motel manager, Mason (Frank Whaley) then appears and explains that the noises are coming from the television. The couple then book a room for the night. While in their room, the couple hear loud and insistent banging occurs on their door and from the door to the adjacent room and receive anonymous phone calls, despite being told by Mason they are the only people staying there. David then notifies Mason about the situation and Mason says he'll take care of it. Back in the room, a bored David takes a peek at the video tapes left on top of the television. At first, they appear to be horror movies, but eventually after careful observation, the couple realizes they are snuff films made in the very room in which they are staying. David searches the room, finding cameras hidden in various spots and concludes they are being watched by Mason from the office. The couple find Amy's apple that she was eating and left in the car in the bathroom, therefore realizing somebody must have put it there and had been in the bathroom while inside the couple were in the motel room. They attempt flee from the room and head for the woodland, but two men dressed in blue and wearing masks stop them, and they return to their room and lock the door. David then makes a run to the motel's payphone booth. He dials 911 only to realize that Mason has diverted all calls to the office and he answers. David escapes the booth just before the two men in a car crashes into it and chases him back to the motel. Back in the room, David and Amy hear a truck pull in to the parking lot. From the window, they attract the driver's attention who seemingly walks over to help them out, but Mason and the men in masks appear behind him and the pair subsequently realizes that he is a part of if and that he is there to buy snuff films. David and Amy discover a tunnel from a trapdoor in the bathroom, which the men must have used to leave the apple. They follow it and end up inside the manager's office, where they find video monitors taping the entire motel. Amy calls the police from a phone in the office, but is interrupted by Mason returning before she can give the operator any useful information, leaving the phone off of the hook. Followed by two of the masked men, the couple sneak back into the tunnel and take a different route underground, ending up in the auto garage across the lot from the motel. They hold the trapdoor down with heavy items. Meanwhile, a police officer responding to Amy's call arrives. Mason offers to show the officer around, but he leaves to fetch a different set of keys while the officer continues to search. He finds the tapes in one of the rooms and realizing the nature of the hotel, flees. David and Amy run to him and they all get inside the police car. They find the engine wire has been cut, and when the officer gets out to check under the hood, he is killed by the masked men and the couple flee into one of the other motel rooms. David hides Amy inside the ceiling, and attempts to venture out alone to get a revolver gun that was in Mason's office, but the killers surprise and stab David before he can leave, and he ends up collapsing in the doorway, seen by Amy who breaks down in tears. In the morning, Amy comes down and finds the killers' car. As she drives away, a killer breaks into the car from the sun roof and, in her effort to fend him off while driving, crashes the car into the motel, killing her attacker as well as another one of the masked men, revealed to be the gas station attendant that "helped" the couple earlier with their car troubles, as he is crushed against the front of the car. Amy runs into the reception area where she finds the revolver. In an effort to reach the revolver, an apoplectic Mason strangles her with a telephone cord that he took out of the phone in his office. As they fight, Mason beats her severely. But in his effort to get a good final shot with his hand-held digital video camera, Amy fights back, and Mason ends up throwing her within reach of the revolver she had dropped, and she shoots him three times, fatally wounding. Amy immediately runs to David to find that he is still alive, but seriously in need of help. She searches Mason's body carefully for the telephone cord he had used to strangle her, calls 911 again and returns to comfort David while they wait for the police. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Vacancy (film)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
