The Room

Great thriller with very interesting story. It won't win awards for acting( good, but not that good), but the story is excellent. Another reviewer compared it to Outer Limits episode which I also agree.

Certainly it could've been even better with bigger budget and millions $$ in SFX(lol) . Sure, I'd want to see how far they could've gotten with their wishes as well as towards the end it could've been a bit more twisted, but nevertheless, it is a great thriller that is different than majority of thrillers these days which have the same stories over and over.

Now, we all have different taste in movies. You can see my other ratings and reviews to see what I like and then decide if you want to watch it. In short, if you like Outer of Limits/Black Mirror type of entertainment, you will LOVE this movie.

The concept was pretty cool and unique and the story kept me involved from start to finish. I enjoyed this immensly.

7.1

I would have loved to rate this movie higher, there's plenty of potential in the concept and some of the ideas in the movie but I couldn't stand the characters. Their interactions with each other, and their development doesn't follow human rules, they are what is needed in the scene and that creates a disconnect that avoided me to enjoy the film. Most of it is also completely predictable, except for a twist near the end, and I'm not sure if I couldn't see due to the incoherence of it all at that point. I would have rated it at least 5 because it feels like a movie despite its flaws, but there are so many good reviews I feel like I need to warn others, thus this review.

I watched this movie not expecting much but the same old creepy house story, however I was pleasantly surprised. The acting was OK but it was the clever and unique story that warrants my high star vote. The movie held my interest the entire time. I must warn some of you other sensitive folks, mid-way was sad and almost cruel with the way it was heading and the possible implications. But it was wonderful that the movie could inspire my emotions and it's been a while since one has made me feel something. I found myself thinking about it afterwards and inspired to write a review. I recommend you watch it as it's far better than most of stuff churned out these days. As another reviewer wrote, be careful what you wish for, there are consequences and greed will come back and bite you on the rear

The start of the movie is where it goes wrong in my opinion. They kinda rush through it, and that's why I didn't have any affinity with the story. Further on in the movie it gets better, the story and the whole metaphor gets more body. But for me (!) personally, they should've put more effort in the developing of the story at the beginning, so we could've had more connection with the whole story and the characters. Still entertaining to watch, and definitely worth a watch to make up your own opinion.
