Room 6 (2006)
2/10
Keep the door of Room 6 locked.
18 July 2006
This movie is what's wrong with horror films today. It opens by showing our "hero" laying on a gurney in the operating room with her eyes wide open, trying to alert the surgical team that she is awake, though she can't speak or move. That's a good start, but the movie only goes downhill from there. The main character is a female teacher with an immense (and unexplained) fear of hospitals. As her boyfriend takes her to work one morning, they're in a car accident where he injures his leg. An ambulance comes and takes him to the hospital, but the paramedics don't tell her which one they're taking him to. She begins seeing strange faces everywhere she turns, something like those in "The Exorcism of Emily Rose." She must confront her fear and locate him because she's certain something very bad is happening.

The movie appears to be one that was about halfway through being made when they realized that they didn't have any kind of reasonable (in horror movie reasoning) ending, so they went ahead and ended it as quickly as possible with a cliché you've probably seen many times if you are a fan of the genre. The effects are fairly well done in most cases, but nothing you haven't seen elsewhere. Go ahead and look in another room, because what's locked behind the door of Room 6 isn't worth knowing.
