We just added our official review for Sony Home Entertainment's Vacancy 2: The First Cut, which arrives in stores tomorrow. "So many things fail in VACANCY 2 that it’s easy to take aim at Smith’s screenplay. Since he created this concept in the original movie he should have been able to flesh out the backstory with relative ease. But instead of an insightful and visceral thrill ride, establishing motivations and method, what we got was something more like what would happen if Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern’s characters from HOME ALONE decided to stop robbing houses and start torturing and murdering happy loving couples. Actually, that might have made for a more interesting film than this." Click the title for the full review.
I've already seen this and it's absolutely dire. I don't think we needed to know why these nutters did what they did, that was one of the things I've liked about the first movie, the fact they were just sadistic voyeurs. They ruined the mystery and therefore the killers appeal. At least in my eyes.
