The Disappointments Room (2016)

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.

Very good movie overall, highly recommended. Most of the negative reviews don't have any merit and are all pollitically based. Give this movie a chance at least, and it might give you a different perspective.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

If I known what they meant by a disappointment room... I wouldn't of watched this movie. It made my blood boil . Horrible absolutely horrible storyline. Don't watch or you will regret it!!!

This movie is one of the worst movie I have ever seen. I'll start with the plot which is very not interesting, and you hate yourself for every minute you watch this boring movie. The scenes are not scary at all, and it looks as if they just tried to fill up 90 minutes for a movie. Things are just happening and not related to anything. The idea is OK, but not developed throughout the movie.. **spoilers from here** Even though I waited for something to happen in the end, even then it was extremely disappointing! No one died, nothing happen, the family just moved from the house and... Thats it! Now tell me what horror movie, even the poorest, ends it that way?? Either someone dies, or they release/kill the daemon. Don't waste your time with this one.

David (Mel Raido), Dana (Kate Beckinsale), and their son Lucas (Duncan Joiner) leave their New York apartment (?) for a Tudor in North Carolina. Dana has issues with the death of their new born, and is on medication...or not. In the home they discover a chifforobe blocking a hidden door which leads to the title room. It is a room where deformed children were kept locked up and hidden away. Dana has flashbacks and illusions. She sees a dog...or maybe its a Lycan? Oops sorry wrong film.Celia Weston plays a friendly shop owner which could have only been done better by Dee Wallace offering meat pies. I thought Marcia DeRousse was great as the librarian and she was going to get an expanded role replacing Zelda Rubinstein. Alas,the film didn't spin that way. The performances were good overall, but the plot was a me-too haunted house type film that should have taken the spotlight off a blonde Kate Beckinsale for a minute.How do you get a cat to calmly hold still for a bath? To me that was the most unbelievable thing in the film.Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.

A - This wins worst title of the year. B - Maybe the filmmakers were warning us, so it's actually our fault for subjecting ourselves to this uninspired--wait for it--disappointment? I really hope the people behind (to blame) for this film glance at these reviews so they at least lose a little sleep over knowing the recycled garbage someone is paying them to create. They should deactivate the spoiler warning on this page because this movie has no honest twists. It's blatant. There is some classically eerie set ups, which are fairly appreciated, but it only grows more generic until they just throw a whole bunch of garbled confusion and nonsensical bits in the "climax." How far DJ caruso has fallen. And how pompous and boring has Wentworth Miller become (or has always been?). Stay away my friends, these filmfakers (#filmfakers) deserve to be rewarded with failure. If you're looking for a ghost story go watch The Sentinel, or The Uninvited.
