Review of The Disappointments Room (2016) by Mark M — 13 Sep 2016

My boyfriend and I were having a bad day at school, so we decided to go watch "The Disappointments Room" just to make ourselves feel better. The good news is we did, the bad news is we felt good for the wrong reasons.

My boyfriend and I came to this movie expecting to get the living daylights scared right out of us. We left the theater eating a bag of nachos thinking of stupid nickname puns we could use to describe this movie.

First of all, don't worry guys the movie lives up to its title, so if you've been wanting to be disappointed for a while now. This movie is for you and I wholeheartedly recommend you should watch it.

This movie is filled with loose ends and so many horror cliches that I was actually beginning to wonder if something suspenseful was going to happen anytime soon. So many mysteries are left unsolved and the only one who's experiencing any of this is our main female lead who's mentally unstable.

The movie has a bad habit of trying to build suspenseful moments at the wrong moments and the wrong times. The most scariest part of the movie for me was when she was locked into a dark room for 20 minutes only to be disappointed when I realized nothing was happening. The only thing my boyfriend felt scared about were the dusty windows, and that's only because he works as a window washer.

The cinematography was so poorly done in this movie that I was wondering as to whether or not this was done by a group of high school students or a team of professionals.

All in all, a poorly done movie that doesn't deserved to be labeled a horror, mystery, and suspense, but is more than deserving of its name.

Do yourself a favor and don't spend your $15 on this movie.
