The Room (2019) is a film that impressed me from start to finish -- with beautifully shot art-like visuals and interesting framing, writing that allowed its cast many opportunities to display some very emotive acting, and a narrative that attacks some heavy material, The Room is truly something spec …ial and is certainly not your everyday suspense/horror film. Taking the monkey's paw or genie's lamp scenario, putting it in the hands of a stressed couple who questions things much too late, and giving the premise a modern, psychological-horror update worked out well in the hands of director/co-writer Christian Volckman.. It is one of the most mind-bending indie movies I have seen in a while, in fact, I would say it is on par with something like Christopher Smith's heart-racing sci-fi thriller, The Triangle, only with a heck of a lot fewer bodies piled up. I did find myself yelling a lot at the main male character who I found was made to make questionable decisions, but they are understandable when framed in their shocking situation, and in the end, speak to the overall development of his character. The Room feels like a psychological thriller placed in a Twilight Zone-like setting of a fantasy house, and like a Twilight Zone episode, there is a definite moral lesson to this story, but not before the audience is taken on quite an emotional roller coaster ride -- The Room is one great wish-gone-bad movie.Olga Kurylenko and Kevin Janssens star as Kate and Matt, a married couple who … (Read More)

Near Burkittsville, in the Black Hills Forest, on the root of a lightning-struck tree, the couple of Lane and Talia find a DV tape sticking out of the ground. The content of the found tape is mostly footage of static, however, near the end, there is also an intriguing small part where someone is try …ing to escape from something that is after him, screaming and running in an abandoned house. After accidentally stumbling across the uploaded footage, James, believing that this is his final chance to put an end once and for all in the unresolved mystery of his sister's Heather disappearance, some twenty years ago in the same woods, he assembles a team of friends in search of answers. Sooner or later, the team will go astray in the heart of a green maze that is riddled with the chilling legend of Elly Kedward, the Blair Witch who relentlessly keeps messing with their sanity, gradually taking them down, one by one. Eventually, James will find himself in the epicentre of the evil activity, trapped inside the very house where his sister disappeared, unaware of the fact that, once more, the witch will demand her sacrifice.

Bloomington, Minnesota, 1967: Jewish physics lecturer Larry Gopnik is a serious and a very put-upon man. His daughter is stealing from him to save up for a nose job, his pot-head son, who gets stoned at his own bar-mitzvah, only wants him round to fix the TV aerial and his useless brother Arthur is …an unwelcome house guest. But both Arthur and Larry get turfed out into a motel when Larry's wife Judy, who wants a divorce, moves her lover, Sy, into the house and even after Sy's death in a car crash they are still there. With lawyers' bills mounting for his divorce, Arthur's criminal court appearances and a land feud with a neighbour Larry is tempted to take the bribe offered by a student to give him an illegal exam pass mark. And the rabbis he visits for advice only dole out platitudes. Still God moves in mysterious - and not always pleasant - ways, as Larry and his family will find out. (Read More)
