There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

Spoiler Alert, as I will be talking about, Room 6, (2006) Directed and co written by Michael Hurst. Mark A Altman also gets writing credits. The movie is watchable. It strives for a mood of altered realities. Ground covered in far superior films such as, Jacob's Ladder (1990), and, The Sentinel (1997) now throw in a good amount of "Silent Hill" or Session 9 (2001) All the leads are good, they include the stars, Nick and Amy, played by Shane Brolly and Christine Taylor, Separated in a car crash, He is taken to Hell, and she is left to look for him. Jerry O'Connell, plays Lucas, also involved in the crash, and searching for his daughter who was also taken to a place unknown. To say Amy was drawn into some alternate world, of demons and monsters, would be understating the case. The movie kept hitting all the right notes, The effects were efficient, and the music was charged. The only thing that did not work in this movie was, any sense of reason. Through many hints and flashbacks, we see that Amy has to face her guilt for committing a terrible act as a very young girl. There is no real explanation why Nick has to suffer. Oh well, it doesn't matter, what does matter is that it kept me watching. Eight out of Ten "Mysterious Hospitals" Stars

Room 6... maybe one of the other rooms would have been more interesting, but this one isn't even bad enough to be entertaining! If you must watch it, just watch the first and last fifteen minutes and you'll get the plot. Rod Serling's Twilight Zone did 1/2 hour shows very successfully for years, and before the invention of many special effects we take for granted today. Even the characters who are supposed to be ghoulish and frightening seem to be walking through their parts. The end is anticlimactic. Most times a bad horror film can get away without a message, but with the overused storyline, terrible acting, lack of special effects, and awful directing; there should have been one. Here's my suggestion for the message: Room 6 should be missed at all costs; however, could it prove useful to cinema students as a lesson of what not to do.

At first I though this film narrative had potential to be a relatively good movie but how wrong I was. I found after less 30 minuets of watching I was more than ready to turn off and only continued watching in hopeless thinking that it might have picked up. The acting in this film is truly awful and any attempt at "running away" or chase scenes sees Christine Taylor do no more than a pathetic jog.The random lesbian nurse scene seemed only slightly relevant to the film itself, and poses for "eye-candy" purpose, rather than adding anything to the actual plot.The ending was very predictable and I was relieved that they didn't show Amy in heaven with her father at the end, to make for an extremely cheesy ending.In short, don't bother seeing it and tell your friends to do the same.

A woman and her boyfriend get into a car accident. After the man is taken by ambulance to an unknown location, the woman (Christine Taylor) goes on a hunt to find him along with her new friend (Jerry O'Connell) -- along the way encountering demons for some reason.I am sad to report that Christine Taylor makes for a very weak leading lady. I loved her in "Dodgeball" and "My Name is Earl", but for some reason she comes across as very flighty here (more in the first half than in the second). Is she not capable of drama? Is acting scared just not something she can do? I don't know, but I was let down. (I'm still jealous of Ben Stiller for having such a hot wife, though.) The early parts of the film are very tedious. There is lots of empty, repetitive dialogue (both in the opening hospital scene, and shortly after when Amy is getting picked up from school). The less each person says, the better the scenes are in this movie. Unfortunately, in the first ten minutes no one will shut up long enough to let the movie have a solid start. (The phrase "I'm awake" probably is said no less than twenty-five times in the first five minutes.) What I found also odd was that although the makeup was decent (the demons looked like demons), the special effects were not very impressive. Rather than use a trick syringe for an injection, for example, they slid the syringe under the sleeve of a patient. Maybe I'm picky and the average viewer wouldn't notice, but I felt cheated.Now, the scenery was nice. The abandoned hospital, the ambulances, the demons. There is a scene with vampire lesbians (or something like that) which I thought was quite alright, although it was more of a tease than anything.Somebody decided to cast Jerry O'Connell, and I'd like to know whom that was. In all fairness, Jerry was a better actor in this film than Christine Taylor. But he just calls to mind crappy films like "Tom Cats" and the show "Sliders". I like Sliders, but this guy is a cheesy actor. He's right up there with Brendan Fraser. His very presence makes a movie's suck factor increase. This one was no exception.Horror icon Kane Hodder (better known as Jason Voorhees) shows up to be a demon bum. I enjoyed seeing Kane Hodder, but the part was not important and could have been played by pretty much anyone. (And really, if you're casting for a bum, get someone who's bum-looking, not a weightlifter.) I will give the Best Actress award in this film to the little girl named Melissa (played by Chloe Moretz). She actually had my full attention when she was on the screen, like everything she said or did was crucial. Excellent. Moretz is becoming what I would call "the Dakota Fanning of horror", because she seems to be the person you call when you need a little girl. (Moretz has so far also appeared in "Wicked Little Things" and "Amityville Horror".) My biggest problem with this movie, besides the poor acting and weak production value, was I was constantly asking myself: did any of this add up? Demons, lesbian vampires, a hospital that doesn't exist, ambulances that steal loved ones. The film makes some attempt to explain this, but that attempt is incredibly weak and I was left trying to piece things together. But I felt like I opened a 500-piece puzzle and 700 pieces fell out. What the heck? 2006 has offered some quality horror films. "Slither", "Feast" and "Saw 3" just to name some off the top of my head. "Room 6" is not one of them, so unless you spend most of your free time watching really crappy movies (like I obviously do), don't pick this one up.
