Carlos K This is a criminally underrated psychological thriller with some strong horror elements. Great performances, wonderful production values and all I can say is really check this out. I was amazed at how excellent this film was. Spread the word. This is a underrated gem! Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/19/24 Full Review Audience Member Let the power of Doom Room absorb you. The greatness of Doom Room is to keep you involved. I was watching and kept asking myself what is this movie for yet I couldn't stop watching it. That's the power of Doom Room. I am not going to tell you anything about this movie only that it's great. Don't get caught up in reading reviews. You be the decider. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Not great I am afraid. This movie had great potential but just failed to deliver. The lead charachter was bland and unremarkable. The plot was trying to be clever and give us a cerebral journey where we had to keep thinking and reevaluating. This movie used roads many times traveled and was Simpson not original. Thumbs down! Rated 2/5 Stars •  Rated 2 out of 5 stars 02/22/23 Full Review Audience Member WoW. What a mess this is. The filmmakers try for a B-Movie feel here with carnival-like goons coming in and out of the picture. Nothing works, and it just comes off as though it was make by amateurs. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Audience Member Inspired in part by a true story, a young lady was held captive in a slave chest under a sadistic couple's bed for seven years, "Doom Room" is a highly imaginative dark fairytale told stylistically as a sequence of nightmares and dreamscapes. Sometimes confusing, and incoherent the scenes play out like broken episodes of a disturbed thought. Othertimes the screen feels more like whimsical musings from some Hell cast. The cast give good character. Expressive, impactful creatures often melodramatic and 100% theatrical. There are moments that the acting breaks scene cohesion, slipping slightly, but for the most part everyone was cream. I kept finding my mind flickering inspirations of Alice, not as she was in Wonderland, but as she truly was in the sanitarium. The film I compare it most to is "Red Kingdom Rising" from Navin Dev. The special effects and atmosphere is a cross between early 2000's grindhouse and German experimental arthouse. At to cinematography and sequencing begging of Scandinavian dark metal concept and "Doom Room" is truly creative and ambitious for a low budget indie horror. There is blood and a hint of gore, all visceral, but this isn't some celebratory torture porn anthem. It is at it's core about a girl locked in a box and dealing with a fight or flight psychological crossroads thing. Similar films have come out and it is a tricky style of storytelling to get right, but "Doom Room" has more good going for it than bad. Definitely check it out.
