Room 6

Plot

A schoolteacher with a phobia of hospitals finds herself searching for her boyfriend inside one while teaming up with a man suffering the same ordeal that she's in.

Cast

Christine Taylor leads, Jerry O'Connell supports, Chloë Grace Moretz comes along for the ride and we even get a short appearance from Kane "Jason Voorhees" Hodder.

Verdict

I boo-booed, see I'd already seen this years ago but when movie night rolled around I picked this as my choice as I didn't remember it. By the time I realized it was too late and I didn't want to turn the movie off as my other half was invested.

Alike the first time I called the "Twist" in the first 5 minutes and that's no exaggeration. And it's not just the predictability that's the problem, it's "That" twist the one which is in a frustrating number of horror films and leaves you feeling cheated at the end.

The journey? Incoherent, random sequences, nothing flowing, nothing making sense and both O'Connell and Taylor come across very much like they're phoning their performances in and just don't want to be there. I'd argue Moretz delivers the best performance in the movie and she's a child here.

Messy, unsatisfying, brings little to the table and insults you with its finale.

Rants

No spoilers here but the "Twist" that I speak of is what I like to call the Dallas effect. It's a slap in the face to the viewer, and should never be put to screen let alone the amount that it is. I'm not exaggerating when I say I've easily seen this trope 100+ times. Enough is enough, it's unforgivable at this stage.

Breakdown

Decent cast Kane Hodder is always appreciated Story is a mess Never feels like it gets going Twist is insulting and predictable.

Well, somehow this movie didn't convince me. Poor direction, predictable story and the actors didn't perform as great as they could. It's about a woman who has delusions and hallucinations throughout the whole movie. She and her boyfriend have a car crash and then her boyfriend is taken to a hospital. But which one? The doctors didn't say anything. She calls all hospitals in the area but all of them claim that her boyfriend isn't there. Is he maybe in some hospital that does not exist anymore?

Anyways, you won't miss a thing if you decide not to watch this movie. The title "Room 6" has nothing to do with the story. So don't let it deceive you. It sure deceived me.

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.

Well I was in the local game story and looking through the movies and I see this movie with a $1.99 price tag and say "Well this movie has to be worth at least the $1.99 that I pay for it" I'll admit oddly that I was right.

As horror movies go this is definitely an enjoyable watch with some creepy moments that are definitely worth a peek. This movie is much like the movie Sublime about a creepy ghost hospital that takes it's victims away and never gives them back.

There is a fairly good deal of acting and anyone that sees this should be truly creeped out. I say spend your 2-5 on this movie it is worth that much at least.

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.
