The Dead Room is not a bad film per se; it's not a good film either. Go to Full Review

2/5
Regrettably, The Dead Room is forgettable and almost dull due to the fact that the storyline and scares are conventional. Go to Full Review

1.5/5
Contrived, predictable and free of any kind of electricity, Jason Stutter's The Dead Room... is nothing more than a scare-less and, overall pointless, bore. Go to Full Review
Matt Donato We Got This Covered 04/05/2016
5/10
The Dead Room is a haunted endeavor better left unexplored, as it's marred by a soul-sucking lack of ambition. Go to Full Review

Richard W @rdwoolf Mar 10 A simple premise that is executed extremely well. I was very entertained (and a bit creeped out) watching this film. See more Jason W 11/25/2024 Typical ghost hunter type film. Most likely nothing you haven't seen before. Some questionable cartoon like cgi. The characters are likeable, but it doesn't change the game or have any real stand out moments. See more Guy M 12/05/2023 The movie is only 80 minutes and somehow after all that time I have no clue what this movie was about. You have 80 minutes, not much but enough to get your point across and this movies is the equivalent of word salad. A whole lot of nothing with such little exposition I couldn't tell you why they were even there in the first place as the characters are not well thought out nor drawn. Very horrible waste of time. The acting is fine but when you have zero to work with you won't get much done. See more Jennifer P 03/20/2023 No cheesy backstory about the characters or inane banter while driving to the location…just right to the house. Creepy, slow burn. Kind of bummed that there was really no exposition about the entity, but overall quite enjoyable. See more 07/23/2017 The Dead Room: This is an hour and 20 minutes of three individuals torturing us with ridiculously bad acting in a very basic set we can only presume is a haunted house (there is zero set up and zero premise) with rattling chandeliers, moving furniture and breaking glass - effects so bad I swear I could almost see the strings moving them. A maddeningly poor excuse for a film. F See more 03/25/2017 A decent haunted house movie, if not particularly original. At least it doesn't lose focus and attempt to become some pseudo-art flick like so many so-called horror movies these days. Eighty minutes of reasonably scary stuff. Won't take up your entire evening, and is, frankly, enjoyable. See more Read all reviews
