Just perfect...

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

There is definitely an excellent idea hidden in the background of the film. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find it.

This is the second time in my entire life I couldn't bear to finish watching a Horror film due to it being so exquisitely bad. And I only call it "Horror" because for some incomprehensible reason The Black Room is tagged as such. I honestly don't know what to say. Imagine a Hentai Tentacle porn flick, filmed in the late 70's, stuffed with cheap eroticism, terrible low budget props and fake acting to the point of nausea. The story might have been worth something but just like most porn - the plot has no weight whatsoever. If you're looking for some retro erotica with monsters and demons - there are plenty of websites which would happily serve you. But if you're looking for a Horror film - you might as well watch Disney than waste your time on this absolute crap. The only reason I'm rating this 1 is because negative rating isn't an option.

There's not much more to add, most of the facts about this movie has already been posted in these reviews, but I want to add that this is a B-movie parody. If you're going into this thinking that this will give you that chill down your spine and you'll be scared to go pee in the middle of the night, this movie is not for you. Instead I suggest loading up on drugs, because you're in for a fucking acid-trip. It's a good movie for what it is, if you go into the movie thinking that it will be a parody and that they don't take themselves seriously then this movie is gonna be great for you. The acting is awkward and weird, the camera does its own thing and there's just so, so many weird, badly done effects. Nothing makes sense.What really did it for me though was the outro. I'm assumig most people aren't going to make this so far, but it mentions that no animals, spirits, demons (besides the Incubus), or humans were harm in the making of this movie, and they thank their kids, partners, parents, pets and friends for putting up with them.

Ignore the bad reviews. Or at least adjust your expectations. Alright, this isn't a serious horror film.... There are plenty of those: Insidious, The Conjuring, etc; perhaps too many. This is just silly fun, with good gore/deaths, a neat twist on the evil-in-the-basement trope (Amityville meets Alien: Resurrection), and orgasms galore. It's memorable, at least. I would like to thank the creator for brightening up my day.

I am a huge fan of cinema and film . I enjoy a variety of Genre's and Horror is in my top three. I've seen many hundreds of Horror titles over the past 25 years and have had access to movie viewing via many resources. These resources include, owning 700+ DVD's, having every pay per view channel available as well as a fire stick which I can, essentially, view any film ever made.I write the above caveat only to illustrate that I have sufficient film knowledge and experience to determine what makes a Film "good, bad, worth watching, totally avoiding etc). Now, on to "The Black Room".... Fellow Film Buffs, do yourself a Giant favor and steer clear of this "from the moment the score starts and screen lights up" waste of time.In a nutshell, IMO, any Horror film that wants to be taken seriously does not use cheesy single instrument (multi instrument keyboard) effects to set the tone for a suspenseful background and score to scene elements which sound more like something a 9 yr. old banged out on his/her "music maker app" on their laptop 3 minutes into this film I sensed I was in for a bad ride, and boy was I right! You would think the seemingly never ending typecast Lin Shaye's presence would at least lend some credibility to this flick....Nope! The beautiful Natasha Henstridge and (not to be mistaken for Lukas Haas) Lukas Hassle add nothing more then eye candy to this flop.The premise and plot are unoriginal and have been used 100's of times over. The fact that the Director uses a sexual element to drive the "scare" scenes add up to nothing more then a poor attempt at tension, without good results, and are silly. The sexual assaults throughout, driving fear, obviously two primordial instincts humans have had since the beginning of humanity sounds like a very philosophical idea, but, 1+1 don't add up to 2 in this mess.I refuse to waste more time on going through the plot and the cheesy way it continuously fails to create any fear, tension, elevated pulse rate?, etc. I can only say, it seems Horror is the genre more films are made about year after year and its clear its increasingly harder to find a film with originality in any way shape or form. I'm not saying there are no good Horror films made anymore. I'm saying, it's tough to find a new release worth your 80-110 minutes on average. The Black room is no different. In fact, it's one of the more lower end "B" movies I've seen in a long while with a decent cast.Horror fans all over, go get a root canal or slam your hand in a car door, it's less painful then this film.
