NO VACANCY
A group of friends fall into the hands of a death cult on their way to Las Vegas.
This is a movie that had potential. It's not original, but had potential. A bunch of friends pile into a car and drive from California to Nevada for a fun-filled vacation. The friends are all vile and disgusting people. The car gets multiple flats along the way and are forced to look for help at the nearest shop. That was when everything went wrong.
The movie split into intertwined, yet divergent plotlines.
One: The fall into the hands of a group of orphans with a chip on their shoulder. Since they were abused in an orphanage, even for merely asking for help, they took on the mission of torturing and murdering anyone who asks them for help.
Two: One of the girls in the group is the daughter of one of the owners of the orphanage that treated the death club members badly during their collective childhoods.
If the movie followed either ONE of those plotlines, it might've made more sense, but to make the whole thing work, it actually made even LESS sense.
So... you killed all the employees of this combination bar and garage, and none of the dozens of locals who came by for karaoke night even noticed? Who was running the kitchen? One of the orphans happened to be a short order cook?
So... since they asked for help, you will make them experience the misery YOU experienced?
So... you were after the one girl all along? You wanted to torture and kill all her friends and make her watch. So why bother with the killing people who need help angle? Shouldn't this just be a revenge film, and keep it simple?
Whatever. I would call this movie a big disappointment. You really didn't care that any of the vacationers were getting killed because they are all toxic humans. You didn't care about the orphans because of their stupid fuzzy logic. Even the murder scenes were plain stupid. They were killing people with impossible methods and a load of bright red gelatin spraying all over. Even the ending made me roll my eyes.
Just plain stupid and bad.
