Being a huge horror/thriller movie buff, I have spent countless hours in front of the television yelling at the characters in horror movies, due to the stupid actions they take. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find that I did not spend any time yelling at the characters in Vacancy, as they actually possessed some intelligence. This shot the movie up into the high ratings for me, as it is rare to find a horror movie where the characters actually use their brains.

The acting was also good, and the characters were developed well, so that I ended up really caring for the life of the two main characters, and their disintegrating relationship.

Vacancy also had the right amount of build-up and tension. In fact, I still felt uneasy despite watching it in broad daylight, which is a double plus from me!

Seeing 'Barney's Great Adventure' on the Bottom 100 is simply ridiculous. The majority of people who have rated this movie so low are people over 18. This movie is not intended for adults. I saw this movie when I was 6 years old, along with my 3 year old sister, and we were simply enchanted by it. The majority of other reviews here have been from people who did not see this movie as a kid, and can therefore not make any objective comments, due to not being a member of the target audience.

The bottom line is: if you are looking for an entertaining movie for a CHILD (that is, someone below the age of say, eight) then this is for you. If you are above that age, just don't be surprised that a movie aimed at very young children can be so 'terrible'.
