Stumbling upon this 2022 movie titled "The Man in Room 6" by random blind luck here in 2024, and seeing it was a horror movie, then of course I opted to sit down and watch it. Sure, I had never even heard about the movie prior to sitting down to watch it, so I didn't know what to expect.
So essentially, writer and director Trevor Juenger had every opportunity to entertain and thrill me with this 2022 horror movie.
However, the script and narrative in "The Man in Room 6" was slow paced, mundane and rather devoid of anything interesting, much less anything scary. So that made for a very, very bland viewing experience. And it was rather difficult to sit through this movie as it slowly went virtually nowhere throughout the course of the 152 minutes that the movie ran for.
Indeed, 152 minutes of excruciating boredom. No need to say that a much more round-handed trim in the editing room would have been beneficial to the movie. And I saw, here on IMDb, that the first cut of the movie was 210 minutes long. Oh dear God, that would have been even more brutal to suffer through.
Of the entire cast ensemble, then I was only familiar with actor Bill Oberst Jr., but it should be noted that they definitely had some good talents on the cast list. And I will admit that I do enjoy sitting down to watch a movie with unfamiliar talents on the cast list, so that was a plus for this movie.
If you, like me, enjoy a proper horror movie, do yourself a favor and skip on wasting 152 minutes on this dumpster fire of a movie. It just simply isn't worth the effort, time or money. Some of us literally suffered through this ordeal in greater or smaller extend, so you don't have to; you're very welcome.
My rating of writer and director Trevor Juenger's 2022 movie "The Man in Room 6" lands on a generous two out of ten stars.
