Beer and a Movie: Vacancy

So, generally once or twice a week, Ash and I try to take a break from screen printing and watch a movie and drink some beer. Luckily, we both prefer horror films, so deciding what kind of film to watch isn't that hard, and since I'm a Blockbuster Online member, I always have three to five horror films of varying quality laying around the house for just such an occasion. So this past Friday, it was Vacancy, staring Luke Wilson and the ever so easy on the eyes Kate Beckinsale of Underworld fame, so we had some higher hopes for this one that we do many of the low budget crapfests we tend to watch. Truth is, I'll put anything from the horror section into my queue which causes much suffering, and an increase int the amount of beer consumption. By the way, the beer of choice was ZiegenBock and Bud Light.

Well, higher expectations were for naught, as the film was very mediocre, and that's being generous to it. It pretty much hit all the cliches. I expected more from a major label release that obviously had more than a dollar fifty spent on it. Even Kate couldn't save it. A more complete review will be coming soon, if I can bring myself to revisit the horror (and not a good horror).
