I'll tell you why so serious

Ok... Let's be honest. It cannot be the best movie but is quite enjoyable. The movie has the potential to develop a great plot for future movies

Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Cristal
The movie really just wants to entertain people.

First off I am a big fan of Kate beckinsale so kind of biased on that, it is a slow moving movie but I don't always dislike slow dramas, and drama/mystery is the genre I would put it in, not horror

Technically speaking, "Disappointments room" is a slick, professionally made movie with (very) good sets, props and special effects. Sadly it is so clichéd and derivative that it becomes predictable rather than disquieting or chilling. I use the word "predictable" deliberately, since I watched the movie, which was on the telly, in the company of three other people. Every now and then we would try to predict the next scene or evolution. ("She's going to see herself in the mirror !" "No, she is going to see absolutely no-one in the mirror !" "She's going to see herself AND a ghostly shade in the mirror !") 99 percent of the time, at least one person guessed the correct answer. The ending was predicted by four people who spoke with the same voice. For those who would like to watch a better horror movie on a somewhat similar theme, I recommend "The changeling" - it's genuinely creepy and atmospheric.Still, I may be unfair to "Disappointments room", since the "Haunted house" theme has been used and abused so many times before that it becomes hellishly difficult to invent something new.

it was unpredictable, and although the plot wasn't the most original, it was enjoyable. i think the reason many people are disappointed with it is because they had high expectations for it. if you plan on watching this movie - just watch it, don't think about it too much.oh, and for all the people saying that this is the worst horror movie ever made - you obviously haven't seen too many horror movies. in this genre, it's either utter s***, or the occasional gems like this one.

I'm not a big fan of horror films because I get nightmares easily, therefore I don't watch them often. But even I can see how unoriginal this movie was. Stereotypical tragic event in the family's past that is constantly alluded to but never fully explained until the end; big run down house in the middle of nowhere; overly happy father always upbeat and playful with the kid; mentally unstable protagonist whose illness is used solely as a way to have her scary experiences shrugged off, etc. There are a couple of jump scares that were so predictable. There were no other scary images or anything (personally I was thankful for that lol) And then there was really no plot, with an ending that didn't make much sense or leave you with a sense of satisfaction. I can see why this movie was pulled from theaters after just three weeks. This is something I would expect from a Lifetime movie - in fact I bet that's where you'll see this playing someday. I can't believe this is the same director as Disturbia. At least that movie got some reaction from me. The Disappointments Room is a colossal waste of time.
