Prequel to Vacancy, 2 August 2009
Author: lastliberal from United States

Interesting racket. The motel owners and friends have a game where they shoot pics of newlyweds and cheating husbands in the motel and sell them to porn collectors. Then, Mr. Smith (Scott G. Anderson) shows up and they have a whole new income source.

Agnes Bruckner (The Woods, Peaceful Warrior), David Moscow, and Arjay Smith show up after a deal is struck.

Things get suspenseful and exciting. No real gore, and no, you don't get to see any nudity in their porn tapes.

Will Bruckner escape to face more terrors in another film? Interesting flick, but it could have made it to theaters if it had ramped up the nasty bits.
