Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,
The acting in this movie is really good.
Easily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
Troubled young schoolteacher Amy Roberts (a sound and sympathetic performance by the lovely Christine Taylor) and her nice fiancé Nick (likable Shane Bolly) get into a car accident. Nick gets whisked away to a nearby hospital. Amy tries to find Nick to no avail. Assisted by the friendly Lucas Dylan (an appealing turn by Jerry O'Connell), Amy discovers that Nick was taken to a mysterious hospital called St. Rosemary's that burned down a long time ago. Can Amy and Lucas save Nick from this hellish place? Director/co-writer Mike Hurst relates the compellingly vague and spooky premise at a deliberate pace and does an expert job of gradually building a genuinely eerie, unsettling and disorienting atmosphere which becomes more increasingly freaky and nightmarish as the narrative progresses towards its nerve-jangling conclusion. The fine acting from a capable cast helps a lot: Taylor and Bolly make for engaging leads, O'Connell does well in a change-of-pace straight role, plus there's excellent support from Chloe Moretz as helpful little girl Melissa Newman, Mary Pat Gleason as the stern, fearsome Nurse Holiday, Ellie Cornell as Melissa's scruffy white trash mother Sarah, Kane Hodder as a nasty, menacing homeless guy, Lisa Ann Walter as the mean, sarcastic Sergeant Burch, and Marshall Bell as Amy's sickly dad. Raymond Stella's slick, shadowy cinematography, Joe Kraemer's shivery score, and the clammy, claustrophobic hospital setting all further enhance the flesh-crawling weirded-out mood. Moreover, the resolution at the very end is surprisingly poignant. A pleasingly creepy fright feature.
well i'm not quite actually sure about this one folks...... i think that they had a really good idea behind the movie, i liked the car crash scene, but the zombies , the way they looked well i've seen a lot better from other horror movies, the story well let's just say that it could have been better, i think the ending sucked. the main character was way too squeamish for my tastes. there are worse movies out there, except this one left the viewer, me,,, with more questions than answers, and i really don't care for a movie that does that. i did like the boiler room scenes i thought they were very stylish, and in the special features on the DVD, they mention that it was the same boiler room that was used in the original nightmare on elm st. so basically i've seen a lot better,, this movie basically deals with angels, demons, heaven , hell, and pergatory,, the part where something in her childhood happened to her when she was 12, about her father was brilliant ,, but not how they did it in the end i thought.
I usually don't mind playing the devil's advocate and be the only one who doesn't have anything nasty to say about a movie that was already extremely criticized. However, while I intend to keep standing up for a few misunderstood gems, there's nothing I can say to save or defend "Room 6". It's a real shame actually, because the movie had some fairly meritorious deal of potential and I was even willing to leave aside the unintentional funny moments and the occasional bad acting. Unfortunately, the ending undeniably ruined the whole thing and that's just something that I can't tolerate in horror movies nowadays. I don't understand why there are tons of movies out there that even though they're not exactly masterpieces, they're okay and all of a sudden, through the last minutes, something extremely stupid happens and ruins the film entirely. This is the case of "Room 6", along with many other films that came out lately.In "Room 6", a young schoolteacher named Amy, finds herself struggling with very unpleasant circumstances, after a tragic car accident she suffers with her boyfriend, Nick. After this unpleasant event, Amy, who has a strange aversion to hospitals, decides to confront her phobia and looks for her boyfriend. Unconveniently, right after the accident, Nick is mysteriously taken by two strecher bearers who refuse to give Amy any information about where they would leave him. Desperate and with no one else to turn to, the young school teacher, hopelessly tries to find her boyfriend in a world gone mad, full of people who seem to be hiding something from her and some weird demons on the loose. Simoultaneously, another young man named Lucas, who was involved in the same car accident, finds himself in a similar situation and decides to team up with Amy in a search that makes them experience some of the most bizarre and fearful circumstances.If I have to be honest, I actually believe the story is not all that bad. Perhaps it was somehow inspired by some previous stories, but the idea itself wasn't terrible. The problem is that the execution was terribly done. First of all, there are things that simply don't have and explanation and they only add confussion to a simple story that doesn't need all these "comes and goes" that lead to nowhere itself. The background story about Amy and her late father somehow appears out of place and the typical little girl who knows too much seems extremely far-fetched. Also, even though the two leading actors are fairly popular (Christine Taylor and Jerry O'Conell), the acting was beyond laughable. I don't know if they both went backwards to the early days of their career or if they were simply badly directed. All I know is that Ms. Taylor and Mr O'Conell were disappointing and I didn't expected two familiar faces in such a silly project that was somehow doomed from the get-go. Ellie Cornell was by far the best thing about this film and not only regarding the acting. Her character, a low-class and foul-mouthed trailer-trash woman, works as some kind of comedy relief to the story and while the results are modest, I myself found this character in particular as one of the highest points of the film. Ms. Cornell definitely is a magnificent actress and it was nice to see her leaving the sweet Rachel she once played in "Halloween 4", behind. Perhaps she is the only reason why this big mess is enjoyable in the end.
Nough saidDon't waste your timeThe movie ,a part of it being without any acceptable story, was full of small but ridiculous mistakes anyone would notice even if he had no idea about hospitalsfirst, the nurses were placing the 5 cm needle perpendicular to the skin which was impossible do be done with out hitting the bone or injuring the deep arteries, the needle should be as horizontal as possible the reach the vein second, the nurse after taking the needle full of blood , she turns around , changes the angle and there it is, emptythird, any drug causing muscle paralysis should paralyze the respiratory muscles as well , causing death in less than 3 minute without artificial helpand lastly , what's with the abdominal incision? are they going to drink his gall bladder or something , ridiculous.even the nude scene with the nurses, so pathetic , they go "Oh , we have nothing to show in our stupid movie , so let's show some tits"trust me, if you have high blood pressure , you do not want to see this movie
