A grim thriller that isn't as compelling as it might have been in stronger hands.

There's little commitment to any particular tone - it never leans too far into idle B-movie pleasures, nor is the material elevated with nuanced character work.

Rated: 2/5

Flickering Myth

Single location films like The Chamber are faithfully reliant on character structures and evolutions, which is where Ben Parker's execution falters most.

Rated: 1/5

Another flaw is that the script borrows heavily... ok, let's be honest, practically cribs it's entire plot from James Cameron's 1989 film The Abyss...Overall, despite some good moments, The Chamber is a near miss.

Rated: 5/10

[I]t becomes clear that Parker has become stymied by his self-imposed, if admirable, restrictions.

Mediocre writing and an extremely unlikable female lead dead set on getting all of her friends killed. They should have all voted to leave her at the bottom of the ocean.

Totally incompetent, SJW message driven drivel. Story could have been ok. Acting was D+. Men stupid, woman leader awesome tough. Not worth any moments spent on it.

Though this survival thriller is flawed it at least manages to convey the setting in an effective way where the claustrophobic, tense and desperate situation is perfectly put on screen plus it is acted well enough, I like the score, has some good camerawork and has a gruesome and downbeat ending that I wasn't expecting.
