Vacancy
While getting settled in their motel room, David and Amy begin to sense something is deeply wrong—when strange noises echo through the halls and Mason’s behavior grows increasingly unsettling, they must uncover the truth before the night turns deadly.
“Once you've checked in... The terror begins.”
Synopsis
A young married couple becomes stranded at an isolated motel and discovers hidden video cameras in their room. They realize that unless they escape, they will be the next victims of a snuff film.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 32
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.

⚖️ Fell short of break-even — grossed 1.9× its budget
Why 2.5×?
Cinemas keep roughly half of every ticket sold, and a wide release’s marketing often costs about as much again as the film — so a movie needs to gross around 2.5× its production budget just to break even theatrically. It’s a rule of thumb, not the studio’s ledger (home video and streaming come later).
