You’d remember if you’d heard about a director called Nimród, It’s not a name you forget in a hurry. Nimród Antal directed a great Hungarian film called ‘Kontroll’ that followed the lives of a group of tube ticket inspectors and their odd lives spent largely underground (there’s even a great disclaimer at the beginning from the Hungarian transport minister, something along the lines of “this film is fiction, Hungary is awesome, please come!”). It’s much better than i’m making it sound trust me.

I’ve been following Nimród’s first foray into American movie-making ‘Vacancy’ for a while, and a trailer has finally arrived online, here’s the summary:

When David (Luke Wilson) and Amy Fox’s (Kate Beckinsale) car breaks down in the middle of nowhere, they are forced to spend the night at the only motel around, with only the TV to entertain them… until they discover that the low-budget slasher movies they’re watching were all filmed in the very room they’re sitting in. With hidden cameras now aimed at them… trapping them in rooms, crawlspaces, underground tunnels… and filming their every move, David and Amy must struggle to get out alive before whomever is watching them can finish their latest masterpiece.

This kind of horror-conspiracy is a bit played out with films like ‘Hostel’, ‘ils’ and ‘My Little Eye’ having already covered the same ground, but i’m hoping Antal can bring something new to the table.
