Review of Room 205 (2007) by Tatiana . — 17 Oct 2008

Another interesting film from Denmark, Kollegiet is in the same vein of Alexandre Aja's Mirrors film, or the Korean film that that one is based on Into the Mirror, as it centers around a pale ghostly woman who died in front of her mirror while being raped and electrocuted at her college dorm.

Now, a new girl has arrived, taking the place of another person's room who is leaving because of the constant pestering and humiliation he endures from a group of fellow roommates. Soon, the new girl is getting the same treatment by these roommates, not to mention being haunted by the dead girl and she soon starts a relationship with the guy whose room she took (Mikkel Arendt, probably the most appealing character in this film).

Overall, the film is very slow-paced, but visually, the filming looked kinda cool. Not sure what style they were using, other than Digital recording. Also, the deaths, though few and far between, actually pack small punches as well as a decent amount of blood.

I honestly thought this movie was going to be terrible, but it wasn't bad. A little boring, but not bad.
