I love this movie so much

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Technically speaking, "Disappointments room" is a slick, professionally made movie with (very) good sets, props and special effects. Sadly it is so clichéd and derivative that it becomes predictable rather than disquieting or chilling. I use the word "predictable" deliberately, since I watched the movie, which was on the telly, in the company of three other people. Every now and then we would try to predict the next scene or evolution. ("She's going to see herself in the mirror !" "No, she is going to see absolutely no-one in the mirror !" "She's going to see herself AND a ghostly shade in the mirror !") 99 percent of the time, at least one person guessed the correct answer. The ending was predicted by four people who spoke with the same voice. For those who would like to watch a better horror movie on a somewhat similar theme, I recommend "The changeling" - it's genuinely creepy and atmospheric.Still, I may be unfair to "Disappointments room", since the "Haunted house" theme has been used and abused so many times before that it becomes hellishly difficult to invent something new.

I love Kate ,but how this movie was approved and actually released is a great mystery

This movie is one of the worst movie I have ever seen. I'll start with the plot which is very not interesting, and you hate yourself for every minute you watch this boring movie. The scenes are not scary at all, and it looks as if they just tried to fill up 90 minutes for a movie. Things are just happening and not related to anything. The idea is OK, but not developed throughout the movie.. **spoilers from here** Even though I waited for something to happen in the end, even then it was extremely disappointing! No one died, nothing happen, the family just moved from the house and... Thats it! Now tell me what horror movie, even the poorest, ends it that way?? Either someone dies, or they release/kill the daemon. Don't waste your time with this one.

This could have been a great film if they'd really focused on the horrible injustices committed against children who were the "disappointments." Instead, it focused on a character who appeared unstable without many redeeming qualities. In other words, the main character was not likable. In fact, there were no real likable characters in the film. Perhaps the librarian was the most charming. Unfortunately, she was only on screen for probably less than ten minutes total.Even the ghosts weren't impressive! Yes, I HAVE TO SAY IT: WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT!
