The Disappointments Room (2016) Directed by: D.J. Caruso Kate Beckinsale stays in The Disappointments Room. Rating: ★½ I've reviewed quite a few supernatural horror films this year, everything from The Forest, to The Darkness, to Lights Out, and now The Disappointments Room. In efforts to break up the monotony of my words and their delivery, I'll conduct my review of The Disappointments Room in twelve simple, effective haiku poems. Old house with secrets Is the setting for the film Here we go again Kate Beckinsale Plays an unstable mother With mental illness She loses her kid And tries to raise another In the countryside Her husband means well But once her son finds a cat All the bets are off The attic's a room For deformed children to stay And wait until death Beckinsale rules She plays a great, nasty drunk And carries the film Scares feel the same Tension exists in loud booms Atmosphere is weak Backstory is nice Makes film feel less empty Some scenes terrify But it makes no sense Why this family suffers For a strange mistake Is the house haunted? Is she paying for her sins? Nothing is explained Talked with guy after We were the only ones there Our talk was more fun Thoroughly weak film Relativity needs help Disappointing's right Starring: Kate Beckinsale, Mel Raido, Duncan Joiner, and Lucas Till. Directed by: D.J. Caruso.
