Great Film overall

This is a horror movie that is not scary. It has an awful story line. It has an awful ending. Do not see this movie. See The Amityville horror. See Amityville II. Do not see this movie. It is awful.

"Empty Rooms" is more of a drama than it is a horror movie. I wasn't fully aware of that when I sat down to watch this movie, so it was somewhat of a disappointing experience for me, as I had expected somewhat more scary from the movie.The movie is about a single mom who moves to a new house with her autistic son. However, the boy is not fond of staying in the house and is drawing a strange, naked man. Soon things start to happen to the mom and the son starts hiding in the basement. It turns out that the house is not empty at all.Storywise, then the horror in the movie was really tame and rather dull. In this aspect, the movie progressed in a really slow and dull pace, and the events taking place weren't really scary.However, if you look at the movie from the drama aspect, the story dealing with a single mom's struggle to raise an autistic child by herself, then the story was actually good enough, it had potential, but it was initially worn thin and stampeded by the 'horror' element.As far as the acting go, then people were really doing good jobs with their given roles and characters, and this is what makes the movie somewhat bearable to sit through.The synopsis says: 'A single mother and her mute, autistic son are terrorized by supernatural entities in this haunting story of love, loss and the occult.' - if that was to be the case of the movie, then these entities had mightily physical manifestations. And you don't really believe them to be supernatural entities at all."Empty Rooms" receives a 4 out of 10 stars rating from me, given the acting and the drama part of the movie. I think the 'horror' element was an anchor weighing down the movie, because it was anything but scary or disturbing.

Reading the 5 reviews I had good expectations of watching a well made ghost horror movie. I was very disappointed. I wasn't scared once and was waiting for this mess to end. The 5 other reviewers only reviewed this movie telling me it's individuals who are affiliated with the making of this movie. Not plot not scares and horrible acting is what wasted 90 mins of my time and this is coming from someone who loves a good ghost story and is always non partial when reviewing a movie. I have learned my lesson. I will do my research instead the reviewers before and not after I watch a movie with unusually great reviews. Thanks for reading.

Fear is a motivator to bring people together or tear them apart. Fear for your child with or without disabilities is primal and all encompassing. "Empty Rooms" brings out all these emotions in a terrifying and "edge of your seat" narrative. You leap out of your chair many times in this psychological thriller directed by Adam Lamas. Get the right director and you will get a million dollar scare.Loved the retro feel of the film. It reminds me of when I would hunker down into my seat at the old Roosevelt theater, popcorn in hand, ready to cover my eyes in anticipation of the terror filled horror about to leap off the screen. What a thrill ride, a good story, good acting and a shocking hour and half that keeps you wondering what happens next. Loved it.
