Overall this wasn't a horrible film, but wasn't overly impressive either. This film had some interesting parts and ideas to it. The demons were done quite nicely. It kinda reminded me of a badly made Stephen King made for TV movie. I enjoyed the actors in this film, though not real sure what Jerry O'Connell was thinking when he signed on to this movie, he's much better as a comic actor such as in "Kangaroo Jack". There was several scenes where i'm not quite sure what the director was thinking when he added them other then he just wanted to get some T&A included in the film. It wasn't overly scary, my 4 year old son watched it and didn't blink an eye if that tells you anything. It is however worth watching if your bored and have nothing else to do or watch, just don't have high expectations for the film and you'll enjoy it.

I've watched a fair amount or horror movies and I know that a lot of them don't amount to much. Either they're not scary enough - sometimes to the point of being ridiculous and funny - or they're just lacking logic. What's the point of a complex and confusing story if the viewer never gets the answers? Also, there is a misconception that people watching horror movies (teenagers if you ask the studios) don't really care about cinematography, lighting etc. This is of course plain wrong. The classic horror movies are not scary only because of the visual effects etc but because of a skillful use of the mentioned qualities as well as music and tempo. Room 6 fails completely by these standards and is just a total waste of time (and money). There's no point to the story at all and it qualifies as one of the worst horror movies I have ever seen. It contains a beginning without intrigue (you're ready to switch off after 15 min), a middle with scary zombie looking people that appear here and there just to be scary, a lead character that spends most of the film running around screaming and an end that makes an embarrassing attempt to bring some logic to the story (and fails utterly). Why is it that studios invest in scripts like this one when there are so many talented young filmmakers out there with actual stories to tell?!? Don't watch this one - if you want to see something scary, just watch "The Ring" or something over again or better yet, a classic Hitchcock!

OMG! I'm gonna make it quick: 99% of the movie is Amy(Christine Taylor) screaming(very annoying). Her acting(Christine Taylor's) is so bad that I kept having the feeling to fast-forward the film just to see how it ended. Also the running scenes with Amy were more like a silly kind of dance. Her running scenes, along with the father-daughter's scene were the worst scenes i have ever seen on a movie(I'm not kidding). Well, I guess the monster make-up wasn't so bad although it looked like they stole them from other movies(That were obviously better than this one). The best scene so far was the one where the nurses make-out(REALLY HOT), but it still doesn't make-up for watching 90 minutes more of the film. Overall, i suggest you save your time and watch any other movie.

As the trailer shows, a woman and her boyfriend get into a car accident after which he is whisked away by unknown paramedics to an unknown hospital. From there the movie can be broken down in 2 major parts. For the first hour of the movie she struggles to find where he's being held and some haunting memories of hers are alluded to. The rest of the movie is comprised of her having to face her dark past if she wants to save her boyfriend from an uncertain fate. I say uncertain because the immediate danger to him is never made clear. The whole movie lacks the sense of desperation and urgency that horror movies depend on. It really felt like everyone involved was merely going through the motions in front of the camera. I never got attached to any of the characters. There is a twist at the end that should invoke an emotional response from the viewer but I felt nothing. The direction and camera work is lackluster, as is the make-up and special effects. The entire thing has a made for TV feeling attached to it, which isn't surprising given the cast. There are plenty of moments where the viewer is supposed to jump out of their seat but they are executed so poorly that I found myself looking at the flaws in the make-up and totally detached from the story. Believe me though, this isn't the worst movie ever made. I'd call it a good idea in a mediocre movie. You won't hate yourself for watching it, but there's plenty of better movies to watch first. Oh, and I love nudity as much as any other man but the one nude scene in the movie is so out of place I actually wish it had been taken out.

5/10 -- Mediocre

Amy Roberts (Christine Taylor) has a fear of hospitals and nightmares of being awake for surgery. Her boyfriend Nick (Shane Brolly) tries to propose but Amy is in a rush to get to school. Her student Melissa Norman (Chloë Grace Moretz) also has creepy dreams, but according to Melissa, she's not strong enough to help. She and Nick get into a car accident with another driver Lucas (Jerry O'Connell). The paramedics take Nick to the hospital but doesn't tell her where. She can't seem to find Nick anywhere. Lucas can't find his sister either when other paramedics take her to the mysterious St. Rosemary's hospital.

It's a lot of shrill screaming from Christine Taylor. There are a couple of good interesting actors like Mary Pat Gleason, but there are too many amateurs in this. That's what happens when you give strippers actual lines to read. Quite frankly, Shane Brolly isn't good enough to lead his part of the movie. Jerry O'Connell is too standoffish. He is too obvious and the twist is telegraphed.

The biggest problem is that this production just doesn't have the money behind it. It is a big ambitious horror done on the cheap. The monster makeup isn't that good. It looks even worst in the daylight. I can almost see the bigger, more grander movie that the script alludes to. This movie just doesn't look well put together.
