The movie goes beyond the murderer’s atrocious crimes, all the way to the impact they have caused on the victims, on their families and friends, and even on the communities they were a part of.

The police detective Matt Parish and his son Johnny, who is obsessed with the Zodiac’s crimes, are going back on the killer’s trace and are trying to find as many clues as possible related to his real identity.

What they seem to be ignoring is that, during this headhunt, they are not only jeopardizing their lives, but also the one of their relatives as well.

Will that stop their search?

Vacancy Poster

David and Amy decide to go on one last trip together, before getting a divorce.

Unfortunately for them, their car breaks down and they are forced to spend the night in a motel. There they find Mason, the motel owner, who seems to be much more interested in watching horror movies than in helping them fix their car.

The couple get settled in a dark, dirty room and they find some tapes which were apparently filmed in that exact room and which show some quite realistic murders. Soon enough, they realize they might be the next victims if they do not work together in order to escape.
