This is the second time in my entire life I couldn't bear to finish watching a Horror film due to it being so exquisitely bad. And I only call it "Horror" because for some incomprehensible reason The Black Room is tagged as such. I honestly don't know what to say. Imagine a Hentai Tentacle porn flick, filmed in the late 70's, stuffed with cheap eroticism, terrible low budget props and fake acting to the point of nausea. The story might have been worth something but just like most porn - the plot has no weight whatsoever. If you're looking for some retro erotica with monsters and demons - there are plenty of websites which would happily serve you. But if you're looking for a Horror film - you might as well watch Disney than waste your time on this absolute crap. The only reason I'm rating this 1 is because negative rating isn't an option.

A young couple (Natasha Henstridge and Lukas Hassle) moves into the house of their dreams which quickly becomes a living nightmare when they discover a dark secret awaiting them in the cellar.This film is getting some awful reviews. And yes, indeed, it is not a great movie. But look at it for what it is. I think Rolfe Kanefsky succeeds in what he set out to do -- get together a large handful of genre stars and get them to make a somewhat scandalous horror film.Honestly, there are far, far worse films out there, especially in the horror genre. This one at least redeems itself by having a sense of humor. And yes, it is more smutty than I typically appreciate in a film, but that is exactly what it set out to be. So I can understand mixed feelings, but the overly negative responses seem harsh.

I only gave this 2 stars and that was for the nudity, which was quite a bit, wink wink. The acting was way below par, the so called horror scenes were done for a laugh, or so it seemed. The basis of the film is just sex mad ghosts and monsters and you would think that they would have been able to do this right but unfortunately no the film makers couldn't even get that right. So if I was the film makers I would stop making films immediately, you can't even do a simple thing right. Go figure on this, henstridge usually does nude scenes and even in the love making scene at the end, she is wearing clothing, mad or what. Awful, not scary, it says it is meant to be a horror but it is more like a comedy done badly, even the music sucks.

The Black Room (2016)Cast: Natasha Henstridge, Lukas Hassle, Lin Shaye, Augie DukeDirector: Rolfe KanefskyOverview: Natasha Henstridge & Lukas Hassle star as a married couple that has just moved into their dream house. That turns into a nightmare as they discover that a presence is waiting for them in the basement.Review: The Black Room is a horror that explores the black arts of summoning and trapping a demon. Cutting the story short, Miss Black trapped this demon in her youth after a party went terribly wrong and it gets loose and causes havoc for Jennifer & Paul.The movie had a good concept but was executed poorly, with bad characters/development that I didn't care for. The film starts with showing us a preview of what happened before the new couple moves in, giving us a small glimpse of the evil presence and what it is capable of. This was followed by an overly long & over the top title sequence.As mentioned previously after being introduced to the new home owners it doesn't take long for things to start happening, almost instantly we are down in the basement meeting the demon's first victim. Followed later that evening with seeing a glimpse of the power and strength the demon has. Later seeing Paul getting possessed which happens very sudden, stiff and unnatural.Let's talk a bit about the visuals of the movie, the special effects were executed poorly and a lot of the time unbelievable however the set design towards inside the black room I found to be very good if not a little gory like you would imagine giving birth to be.Despite most of the movie being bad, the soundtrack was fantastic and it gave the film at least some form of atmosphere. Overall I thought the movie wasn't great, it was executed poorly, the story was below average and the effects were bad. However, it was slightly amusing and a very raunchy horror movie if you have time to kill sure watch it otherwise I wouldn't bother.2 out 5 bloody hands purely for the soundtrack and concept.
