Vacancy/YMMV
< Vacancy
- Complete Monster: The main killers are this, but the motel manager is the worse one since the entire idea of using the motel as a death trap is his.
- Crowning Moment of Awesome: The aforementioned Car Fu.
- Idiot Ball / Police Are Useless: If a police station receives a call in the middle of the night from a clearly-panicked woman (which gets promptly cut off) and then they send a patrolman to investigate the site of the call, and he doesn't come back or even so much as radio in (because he's been killed, obviously)... well, then, shouldn't you maybe send more officers to find out what the hell's going on!?!?!?
- Paranoia Fuel
- Sequelitis: Even though there is a 2, it's actually Prequelitis in this case since it's a prequel.
