The Dead Room (2015)
2/10
Painful to watch as it died
19 April 2016
This movie started out OK. It seemed like it had promise that way it didn't really explain what was going on, but through actions and dialogue it gave the viewers the background story.

The three characters have no chemistry and they act stiff around one another. The character of the psychic, Holly, played by Laura Peterson, is clichè: dark, moody, etc.

Jed Brophy's character doesn't say much. Jeffery Thomas was pretty good, but, again, there was the problem of the interaction between the only three actors in the film. It was stilted and boring.

Back to Laura Peterson: the girl cannot act. In a role where terror and anxiety is necessary, she misses the mark completely. I've seen 5 year olds pull off terror better than her.

My family and I stopped watching the movie 3/4 of the way in because of a malfunction. We weren't upset. I noticed my 14 year old horror fanatic was fast asleep.

The scare factor was null, the suspense was just long waits while characters walk down the hall.

Good idea for a film, started with a promise, died a slow, boring death.
