Mikael Håfström's film aspires to be"The Shining" which was also based on a story by Stephen King but it falls short. There are some scares but not enough to sustain a full feature. The problem lies with the script that doesn't know how to tie the story, therefore tries everything before giving up to a less plausible conclusion. John Cusack plays a writer who doesn't believe in haunted places and writes about them to discredit them till he finds about the room of the title where he gets more than he bargained for. There's nothing about special or outstanding about this film. YRCinema's coverage of films on DVD.

Hey yama!
You have a really nice blog here!
We're a lover of films (which are foreign ) too!
We'd love to have you as a part of the Culturazzi Club ,the club strives to bring people in arts, cinema, literature, music and theater across the world together on a common platform, where they can share their thoughts, opinions, and interact with each other.
It would be great to have your contributions to the website, since we all come from the same film family :)
And we love useful feedback too :)
Regards,
Culturazzi
