I have no problems with the acting as all did a fairly decent job with what they were given & this is the problem with this movie.

There are really no scares in this movie & what there is, you literally cannot see what is happening because it is too dark. This movie is like 80% shot in low light conditions. People are walking around in the dark for most of this movie.

Darkness alone does not create tension or scares. Especially if you can't see what is going on. With a better script & direction, this could have been decent.

Didn't understand why the Kim chick never cut on the lights after hearing and seeing strange stuff at night. Except, when getting it on with the geeky dude. And why continue to sleep in a room with a creepy hole in the wall? The couch looked comfortable. Nothing compelling here. Nothing stands out. Ending is the same old same old.

Production , at just half of whats needed in the european el. Outlets. A slow plotted, and not so scary, more like a keltic riddle and a gloryhole in the wall that may swallow you or not, had there been an eye in the wallpaper pattern , it wouldve enhanced the scary feelings alot

its a film with unused potential, the cast do their job within reason and headshaking, but not more than that, the intro section gives hope, the 1st part also, but when the mating and making begins its like a whale stranded.

So its some weird mental stuff to scare the utube generation, not a grumpy old man as me. Long slow and a bit boring would be my secondary headline.

Slow paced well acted. Looks and feels like a Japanese movie. Which it is adapted from. I can't get over exterior shots of the room and the interior shots of the views from the room's windows are clearly not shot from the 2nd floor.

Acting was a bit amateur at times. The plot was ok, there were some chilling scenes - probably the best part about this film. I have watched horror films where the director couldn't even get the audience to feel any dread but there were a couple of times this film gave good scare effects but I turned off for the last 10 minutes, who knows if I missed the best part, it got so bad towards that point and the story was essentially over when I saw there was another 10 minutes left I just thought meh, director had to drag out the ending which was already a let down. The part that really really bothered me for some reason is the main character hanging up a mirror with a nail the size of a needle and then commanding it to stay! Only to turn around and the thing inevitably comes crashing down. It was a heavy expensive looking mirror and she knew it wasn't going to "stay" so that really annoyed me but the director had to annoy me further by making her then forget within 10 seconds that it had fallen and she walks all over the broken glass (not injuring herself in any way). I don't know why someone breaking an expensive looking mirror like that annoyed me. It added nothing to the film whatsoever, maybe breaking a mirror is bad luck? It's the one thing I took from this film and can't get it out of my head. If her friend had pointed out breaking a mirror was bad luck then it would have redeemed itself for me a little but her friend could barely act and might as well have been a brain dead zombie throughout the whole film instead of the sleep walking alcoholic she was portrayed as.

It's entertaining but as soon as the "scary" stuff happens the movie is basically a pitch black screen and can't see anything at all. Wayyyyy too much flickering lights and hard to even see anything I do not know why every horror movie thinks it's good to have flickering lights. You never get to see what's in the hole in the wall... One scene the guy looks down at it but instead of showing you what it is, just shows a pitch black scene. Plus 2 girls and not even a boob scene. Why add the played out nonsense flickering lights and dark scenes so bad you can't see what's going on but you leave out the boobs. Could've been a 7-8 but they kinda ruined it as soon as things start happening.

I sat down to watch the 2022 horror movie "Room 203" from writers Ben Jagger, John Poliquin and Nick Richey without having heard anything about the movie. I liked the movie's cover/poster, and the fact that it was a horror movie that I hadn't already seen was sufficient to make me give the movie a chance.

Talk about a slow paced and dull movie. I suffered through 56 minutes of pure boredom here, and the only thing happening in nearly an hour was a mirror falling from a wall, something feathered crawling into a hole in a wall and a roommate bleeding from the scalp in the middle of the night.

The acting performances in the movie were actually fair enough. I wasn't familiar with the cast ensemble in the movie, and that is something I enjoy in movies. Just a shame that the actors and actresses virtually had nothing worthwhile to work with here in terms of a proper script, storyline or character gallery.

With "Room 203" being a horror movie, then I have to say that director Ben Jagger failed to deliver anything wholesome, anything entertaining, and worst of all anything scary.

Sure, there was a good enough production value to the movie, but it could just do nothing to make up for all the shortcomings of the movie. And I will also be generous enough to say that the atmosphere in the movie was quite good, but again it just wasn't sufficient to make up for the movie's shortcomings either.

Yeah, believe me when I say that I am not returning to watch the rest of "Room 203", because it is frightfully boring and downright a waste of time and effort. If you enjoy the horror genre, do yourself a favor and skip this particular movie. The cover was actually the best part about the movie.

I am rating "Room 203" a generous two out of ten stars.

What kind of idiot would put on a necklace found deep inside a stinky glory hole?

What kind of idiot would go into the deserted basement barefoot in the middle of the night?

You will see two such idiots in this boring movie that I managed to finish in 15 min. Again, be warned.

A poor movie. Poor direction. Poor lighting in the room.the movie could be better but a waste of time.. there is nothing except a mystirious hole in the wall.

Reading some of the reviews about this movie and it is NOT trash. Just low budget, I would say B- at best. If you like Indy's and horrors then this movie was just ok, a slow burn. Not a jump out and scare you type flick but I have seen worse so yeah. The 2 leads were good at times and then really fake acting other times. I would not recommend to anyone I know, and I myself will not be seeing it again. But it was not horrible, like someone said to see the new movie X, now that movie was just fing stupid. But, everyone has different tastes in movie so watch this one and maybe you will like it, who knows. I say check out Bloody Punch or All I Need, those are way better Indy flicks.

This movie is very captivating.

It kept me interested all through.

The actors were very good, especially the Kim and Izzy!

I can't understand how people would rate this a 1 or 2. For what it is, and basically no name actors it was excellent.

I would like to see more of these actors in the future.

Text: Yes. It's not exactly an original story. But definitely kept my interest! There was a genuine feel for Kim and Izzy, The dark and mysterious tone of the film brought a genuine gothic vibe. I really liked that aspect. The actors overall were solid. I'd give it an 7.5 but I did feel they could have taken it a notch up on the scare. Overall, l'll watch again.

No need to go into too many details. It's too long for what it wants to do. It's slow. It's dull. It's ludicrous. The characters are ridiculous (despite the fact that a horrible smell coming out of a disgusting hole in the wall is mentioned repeatedly, at no point do the two residents of the apartment even bother to mention it to the landlord, an actor who seems to be doing a bad John Malkovich impression). It's clumsy (a character begins a relationship with woman she meets, who is promptly forgotten and never heard from again. The characters you expect to live do, and the ones you imagine will die do, in fact, die. It contains precious few scares of any sort, psychological or physical. It is entirely - entirely - predictable, without a single original thought or idea thrown in. The adversary is mostly unseen, never properly described, lacks motivation, and is way too easily defeated.

I'm the sort who rarely allows himself to turn off even a bad horror film, but I wish I hadn't even started this one. Seriously, it's not any good.

How a movie that makes a 1 hr 44 min runtime feel like it's gone for 4 hours is a feat in itself. So much character development and we still feel nothing for the two main girls.

Poorly acted, poorly written, boring as any movie I can think of. Avoid.

The absolute best part of this whole movie is the older black man telling his story. The acting from everyone else is terrible. Giggling 20 somethings acting like they're 12, just grated my last nerve. The storyline wasn't all that bad it was the execution. It just fell short in so many ways!! More history would've been great. More intrigue was much needed. More action and more scary parts seeing as how there was VERY little of each. Different cast for sure. Anyway it's a cheesy "horror" flick, if you can even say horror. It's free but even that won't be enough in the end, at least it wasn't for me.

I like the attempt at something a little different in a genre that is saturated with poor excuses for remakes, and the same old plot over and over again only getting worse each time. This movie could have been onto something if not for the mediocre cinematography. Very monotone in most scenes, and overplaying the use of darkness and shadows. I'm always a fan of giving up and coming actors a shot at their big break, but the lack of believability only gives way to a poor attempt at emotion. Sad to say that a decent plot has been lost in very underwhelming performances. Different casting and a change in the visuals could of made up for an average script.

Absolute trash. Terrible acting, I mean really really bad. Boring slow paced, typical regurgitated horror tropes. Save yourself the time. It's already dropped from a 5.2 to 4.3 since released on Hulu. That should speak volumes.

Don't waste your time. This movie sucked. The idea was just like ever other horror movie. The acting was atrocious and there are unresolved plot lines. Overall this movie was just weird and uncomfortable. I would recommend X if you are looking for something good.

Worst movie I have watch in a long time. I do not recommend to anyone. Please don't weast your money and time. Worst movie I have watch in a long time. I do not recommend to anyone. Please don't weast your money and time.

This film has a lot of future stars that we hopefully keep in our genre, but feel they will get offers in a lot of different ones. Francesca Uereb, Scott Gremillion, Viktoria Vinyarska, Eric Wiegand, and Rick LaCour all showcase their talents in his 2022 Horror Film. As someone who watches ANY AND ALL Horror, I absolutely LOVED THIS MOVIE! If you get past the slow start(50 minutes before the true action begins,) you will not be disappointed. I do not mean that the first 50 minutes is boring! They definitely set the movie up, and you get a lot of information, but as someone who loves the gore/violence/blood/scaryAF stuff, it just takes awhile to get to the thrilling ending. You also get an hour of excitement once it gets going because this is a rather long flick for our genre.

20 minutes too long, but overall an average movie. Good if you have nothing better to do with your evening.

Definitely not he worst horror out there that's for sure.

The entire premise was idiotic.

The acting was OK but I still didn't care about any character.

The movie was so dull it literally put me to sleep.

Any good reviews for this movie are being paid or like wasting people's time.
