Room 6

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.

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

"Room 6" is a film that tries to be a mindfak horror, but fails in almost all fields. The idea is interesting, but so confusingly elaborated that instead of keeping you on the edge of a chair, it will keep you on the edge of boredom. The acting is not good enough to connect us with the characters, the dialogues are poorly written, and the overall atmosphere leaves the impression of an amateur film. Only the scenes with Chloë Grace Moretz have some strength, but no matter how good she is and how much I like her, she can't save a failed movie on her own with just a supporting role. I don't regret spending my time, but I advise you to skip it unless you're a big fan.

4/10

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.

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.
