"Vacancy 2: The First Cut" is the prequel of the classic movie "Vacancy" and in this movie we have three young people who are in the classic motel and they are fully unaware of the psycho employees and their sick-minded intentions.

I liked this movie as prequel but I have to say that the first one was better than this, it had more action and we were unpredicted for what it will come up, and that was something that I did not have in this movie. I also think that "Vacancy 2: The First Cut" had nice plot and the storyline was great.

Finally I have to tell you that you have to see it because with this one you will understand better what's going on in this motel.

Indeed, when the movie starts the credits tells us that this is a prequel, how it all started. But somehow it fails to deliver us a story. The first ten minutes has nothing to do with the rest of the movie, it is just there to clock the movie in at more then a hour. There is more blood then the original Vacancy but somehow it just don't work. They should have made another movie with another title. And the parts, for example, were you should jump out of your seat, well, it's not scary. You can guess what will happen. It's a pity that they always have to make a franchise out of movies that make a bit of money. Watch vacancy forget this one. Watch this one, as a movie on his own and then you will be satisfied.

Vacancy 2 is not as great as the first, but it does have some of the same suspense in the first half.

I found it pretty interesting and entertaining, especially as seen as a prequel. I did like how the order of the killings were not as obvious as other slasher films, but I do not like how it ripped off from The Strangers (a superior film) in the killers' masks. Saying that, the ending also sort of fell apart, and the reason is because there is just way too much chase. However, it still makes for a quick and mostly entertaining film that manages to be alright for a quick Saturday night, but do not expect it to be as great as other horrors, since the original was not all that either.

Vacancy the original was so much better, however this one was decent for a prequel. I felt like there were some moments that felt more silly than anything, which I don't think personally is good in a horror film. The acting was pretty well done also. Good if you just want to watch it or have extra time on your hands but you wouldn't be missing too much if you skipped out on this one.
