They say where there are shadows there is also light. Unfortunately in the Dark Room, you only get the Dark. In this case it does stand for bad. Maybe the only "shining" moment of the script, could be the time line(s) the movie tries to establish. But even that isn't really that well thought and executed.The acting is below average, but the script does not help either. Having a predictable story with cardboard characters, with no real threads, a lead that is supposed to have some "trauma", she is trying to escape (metaphorical escape combined with a physical one), might sound somewhat intriguing in script form, but the finalized product is not worth your time. Even "torture" movie "fans" have a lot better quality movies to choose from

This review contains spoiler, please do not read it before watching the movie.Darkroom is about a girl, who caused a car accident DUI that kills 3 of her friends traveling with her. Later, she gets into a rehabilitation center (probably after jail-time, it doesn't mentioned, only that she couldn't continue school afterwards). When she gets out, she takes on a job with the help of her counselor. Though, the job turns out to be a nightmare in which 3 crazy siblings with troubled background torture and kill 'sinner' girls.The movie applies a very interesting multiple-timeline structure so we can figure out what's going on. The plot is decent. The leading actress was even a familiar face from Gossip Girl. Yet, the whole thing made me feel only indifference and I can't really tell why. Maybe, because the protagonist girls was so terribly unlikeable. Or because the things happening were either too random or too forced. Maybe because the story just failed to become a whole. Maybe because too much misfortune was tried to be pushed into a single story (a foster girls kills friends, ends up with a psycho counselor, who happens to have 2 psycho brothers, one of whom has other mental problems too, and the cherry on top is that their psycho mother managed to raise all 3 of them equally psycho.) OK, now that I wrote this last part, I think this is it. It's like Remember Me. Overwhelmingly too much. That, and the fact that I just couldn't care for the girl. A pity, I guess.

This was bad, really bad. I expected this movie to be at least decent since Elisabeth Rohm was in it. (Boy, has her career sunk to a new low). This was garbage. It just didn't make any sense. The acting was bad, the script was rancid and the gore wasn't even close to chilling. I just wondered why is the protagonist *SPOILER ALERT* watching the killers' home videos instead of escaping? Why didn't she get that bat that was sticking out of the bin? And there was no real reason behind the weird "dirty girl" accusations and why the killers were killers. I can see a single person being an insane maniac, but three?! And, the modeling scheme really? That just doesn't work any more. Stupid, insipid and a waste of energy. The only reason I gave this film 2 stars is because, believe it or not, I have seen worst.

I did not expect a lot from this film, but I received more then I expected. Actually I was pleasantly surprised.For this type of film it is really very well done film.Plot is interesting, I mean I expected from a horror film to be a horror film and it delivered. There was a lot of blood and that type of stuff. Good old horror stuff! Cinemtaography was surprisingly good, and acting was rather good for those young actors I did not hear from before.All in all if you like horror films this is a film for you, I mean I saw so many bad horror films, this one is not that bad, so you probably will not waste time by watching it.
