Room 33

I can't honestly say that I like this movie, but there is something undeniably fascinating about it. This film features more roller skating than one would reasonably expect, unlikeable characters, poor writing (both in terms of advancing the plot and in sounding like how a person, any person, would ever speak), and sparks a general malaise in the audience bordering on schadenfreude at witnessing the truly dreadful denim pant options of the early-mid 2000s.

So, I really can't say that I like it. I can say that in the past decade I have watched it at least four times and was at one point so obsessed with finding it without remembering the title that I spent four hours googling random descriptions and finally securing a copy on eBay. I take no pleasure in recommending anyone watch this movie, but I do recommend it.

A roller derby team is on the road to their next brawls then happen upon an accident. Kind enough to lend free travel, they hit a dead end. Beyond the fence they notice a lure. It leads them to an old folks home they later learn has a different history. Out of nowhere a young lady appears and she is the plot. Getting away from her proves dangerous because what she is is what she ain't. Late in the flick another player baffles them yet proves more normal. Their attention to the young lady leads to chaos and confusion. One of the ladies of the roller derby team don't take kindly to "the plot" and is the least bit afraid. She's out to 'do in' the plot yet has other ideas which includes "Don't Sneak Up" she'll take you to the club!

Harsh imdb score

Is worth at least a 5.5 Has got a plot and follows the basic rules of a script that many pretentious author's one loose sometimes

It keeps it simple and it works Does the job that is to entertain a public

Let's not forget that is at the end An indipendent low budget movie so 👍

Room 33 film review - (7.5/10) "Slowly building to good tension using expressions and the camera".

Room 33 has an excellent upbeat opening with nature and sets the scene for a real adventure. You might ask what could possibly wrong and you end up thinking, what couldn't. As turmoil begins, the film rumbles on and doesn't really have many tension building effects. It is the acting that makes it well worth a watch in the end.

The characters are played very well and actors formulate their personalities individually , to help you get to know the characters. This is vital in any horror so that you feel a sense of loss without them. The plot has enough mystery to keep you engaged. It isn't just a case of a psycho on the loose. Far from it in fact. The tale has history and needs the full film duration to truly understand what is going on.

The film consistently does camera angle well. The camera homes in on precisely where facial expressions or events are happening. The setting is nice and confined, keeping tension reasonable throughout. Not your typical horror film and a nice surprise. Definitely an adventure horror if such a thing exists.

I have to say it is worth a watch and you won't be disappointed. It does enough to build tension, and has a good storyline. For a good horror film I don't think anything else is necessary. A good film with a dull title.

I'm a big fan of low-budget horror, but this is unwatchable. Every minute of it is stupid and tedious. Made by people who have watched many horror films but never understood the hows and whys of them. Clichés taken out of context... which actually is interesting from a sociolinguistic standpoint. Unfortunately I don't think experimental deconstruction was the intended point of the film.

"When I was out there looking for Natasha, I saw something." "What did you see?" "I saw a guy in the road." "Well, why didn't you say something earlier?" "I JUST DIDN'T, ALRIGHT?!?"
