Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Plenty to Like, Plenty to Dislike

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The film may be flawed, but its message is not.

I had not heard of this one before, and was pleasantly surprised. There are horror elements, and blood and gore, but more important, the story is involving. The Actors credible, and the exposition pulled me right in. A good story of a man with amnesia, fighting off his own private monsters, and given a test medication to help him remember his bloody secret. It seems that many movies today seek out a "twist" in the plot to surprise the audience. I can honestly say that I did not see this one coming, until it was finally revealed. The plot device led to a satisfying conclusion.I gave the film an eight out of ten, Professional all the way, from acting, editing, production, and direction. It worked, and I liked it.

The people who have ripped this movie so far are the brain-dead sort who only rent flicks by genre, and then get all p----d off if a film deviates one jot from their preconceived least-common-denominator concept of that classification that has been drilled into their little pea-brains by FANGORIA or some other source of pubescent wisdom. The problem is that in their rush to share their ignorance with fellow know-nothings, folks of this ilk are often the first to comment here at IMDb, poisoning the well for fine "genre-benders" such as DARKROOM during those crucial first weeks and months on the rental spaces, before titles are steeply discounted or disappear altogether due to lack of appreciation by the general public for their true nature. It would be tempting to attribute comments by the likes of "moonfog_sof2" and "learagent" as part of "dirty tricks" campaigns on behalf of rival film distributors, but 1)most movie companies are not that savvy about the business world, and 2)clowns like the two mentioned above usually seem sincere in their hyperbole-filled wrong-headedness. If you recognize a friend with these annoying tendencies, please gently twist their arms to include some clear-cut disclaimer in their movie "summary" lines (such as "Haters listen up:" or "To my fellow dimwits:").Even people who have seen a representative sampling of more than one hundred movies in their lifetime (including at least 10 of IMDb's 100 most popular of all-time) are unlikely to see DARKROOM's twist coming any earlier than they guessed the turn in CRYING GAME or SIXTH SENSE. Clairvoyant people who say they ALWAYS see twists coming probably should refrain from movie-watching, and certainly not bad-mouth passable flicks with ratings of "1" or "2" out of 10 and exaggerated carping to those of us that don't have their gifts of ennui and negativity.

This was such a waste of time. Danger: If you watch it you will be tempted to tear your DVD out of the wall and heave it thru the window.An amateur production: terrible, repetitive, vacuous dialog; paper-thin plot line; wooden performances; Lucy Lawless was pathetically hackneyed.Seriously flawed story, completely unbelievable characters. The two worst concepts in film and t.v. are: (1) the evil twin, (2) amnesia. There are no twins.The plot "twist"? Outrageously simplistic and obvious - like watching a train coming down the track in the middle of the day on the prairies. It doesn't even resolve properly. The evil is not punished for the original crime.Please, please, please - don't watch this even if its free and your only other choice is to go to a synagogue.

Aside from the main character's visions of monsters and gore, I would have to say this is a thriller. Pretty original plot concept and good acting as well.The story follows a man who is offered an experimental drug in hopes that he can remember why he was found on the side of the road covered in blood. The movie then leads you into his journey of finding these memories.Nice twist at the end, though I have a feeling most people will know what that twist is about 10 minutes before it happens, but it doesn't distract from the effect.Overall it's original, I like the concept, the actors were well suited and nothing really seemed out of place. A couple goofs here and there due to shoddy editing possibly, again, nothing that really distracts from the quality of the story. I rate this a 7/10. I give it 7 instead of 6 because of the lack of recognizable actors and how well the roles were played.
