I'm not entirely sure what this film is even supposed to be about. Named as if it knew its destiny, The Disappointments Room brings together those horror movie standbys that just can’t quit each other — a creepy old home and a troubled family — for some truly convoluted, non-scary, and execrable psychological mishegoss surrounding a hidden chamber and the noxious historical shame it holds. If it was based purely on the film alone i'd have to give it 0 out of 10. This is a terribly done review but the movie was that bad I didn't care.

The disjointed story is enough to make you want to walk out of the theater. And did you hear well of course not, you didn't hear the credits because I only had the credits rolling at the end because I was writing this horrible review but the closing music was literally the worse close out ever right at the end it just keeps shrieking for no reason it wasn't musical at all it actually aligned with the movie by reiterating the theme of pointlessness. The End. 'The Disappointments Room': Film Review. Then David should of walked in and finally seen the Judge there to realize that Dana wasn't crazy this whole time. Where do I even begin? I can't fault the director. There's a good story buried somewhere here. Soon she finds the keys and is haunted by the evil spirit of an old man. Maybe that's just how Dana dresses. The Disappointments Room could have been an interesting film, but instead it was a befuddled mess with a title that makes for a great pun. Caruso's thriller proves altogether worthy of its title.
