Emilie Black Cinema Crazed The Dead Room is not a bad film per se; it's not a good film either. Rated: 3/5 Apr 19, 2020 Full Review Zena Dixon Real Queen of Horror Regrettably, The Dead Room is forgettable and almost dull due to the fact that the storyline and scares are conventional. Rated: 2/5 Aug 25, 2018 Full Review Marija Djurovic Cairo360 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. Rated: 1.5/5 May 10, 2016 Full Review Matt Donato We Got This Covered The Dead Room is a haunted endeavor better left unexplored, as it's marred by a soul-sucking lack of ambition. Rated: 5/10 Apr 5, 2016 Full Review Read all reviews

Jason W 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 11/25/24 Full Review Guy M 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. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 12/05/23 Full Review Eivon B the movie just wasn't good, some scenes were so poorly edited and the whole movies plot just sucked, also the fact they never showed the veiwers the body in the basement proves the person who made it just couldnt think of anything 'scary' and just kept veiwers expectant for something that will never be showed for the rest of the movie, and that annoyed me. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 07/27/23 Full Review Jennifer P 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. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/20/23 Full Review Audience Member 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 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member 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. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews
