Room 205 (2007)

The Age of Commercialism

Just perfect...

Instant Favorite.

I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

This Isn't Exactly One Of The Most Original Horror Movies Of All Time But I Thought It Was Good Even With Its Low Budget(But Hey, Name One Time When A Budget Meant Something In A Movie - Although I Like Movies With A Budget, I Meant Just When Has A Low Budget Interfered With The Movie.) Katrine Decides To Spend Her Time At University In A Dorm Instead Of Spending Time At Home. She Realizes That There Is A Ghost Living In The Mirrors. She Accidentally Sets It Free And One By One Dorm Mates Start Dying, She Has To Stop It Before Its Too Late.Now Hollywood Makes Movies Like This All The Time, Only This Time It Isn't Hollywood, Its Denmark. It Doesn't Really Make Much Difference Except That The Danish Used Character Development (I Cared About What Happened To Katrine) And They Portray The Deaths How It Really Would Happen Instead Of Using About 150 Gallons Of Blood For A Horror Movie In America.Overall I Suggest A Viewing But Don't Expect This To Be Along Side "Just Another Love Story" Or "Brothers" As Denmark's Best.

Originality in horror is hard to achieve. I have heard this film compared to The Ring by more than one person, but, as I liked that movie, I would give this a chance.The incredibly beautiful Danish actress Neel Rønholt play Katrine, a girl who moves into a college dorm that is haunted by the ghost of a girl who died in Room 205. Katrine is kind of a klutz. She is always breaking things. When she breaks the mirror in the bathroom of Room 205, the ghost is released.Suspicion is thrown on her after some deaths: Lena (Mira Wanting),Lucas (Jon Lange), and Sanne (Julie Ølgaard); and she joins with another outcast, Rolf (Mikkel Arendt) in a plan to capture the ghost.Good FX and tension, with lots of screams. A great ending.

An excellent film with new ideas. I give it 10 out of 10.Despite a low budget - this movie shows great direction, cool acting and effects. I hope other directors are inspired by some of the techniques used here.A definitely satisfying watch...Don't read too many spoilers and reviews of it. Just leave your expectations at the door and enjoy the horror ride!Turn up the horror...Make more movies like this!

I just saw this and was greatly disappointed because I love horror movies, and this one sucked so bad. The acting is inept, the plot non-existent even for horror. It is just a Danish rip-off of recent brilliant Japanese horror such as The Ring and Dark Water. However, these movies keeps you guessing and being interested in what is going to happen towards the end. I simply walked out from this movie after about an hour because I didn't care anymore what would happen. The script of this movie is extremely pathetic. I have two degrees from KUA in English and it is nothing like described in this movie. I don't mean in terms of good and bad, I just mean it was an extremely odd description of KUA, and it didn't ring a bell with me at all although I have spent 8 years there. I have never tried living in a dormitory but I doubt it is anything like described in the movie. The use of a mirror in the movie was extremely effective but, all things being equal, I don't think this is a coherent movie at all. It is just random scenes cut together to try and scare (and bore) the audience. In the cinema in Lyngby (a small town) where I watched this tonight there were two women who were screaming all the time in the scary scenes. And they are indeed scary. But this is just an imitation of Japanese horror, and it is a pity that Martin Barnewitz(!?) did not either just make a movie of 90 minutes "terror" or put in a decent story.
