Room 33 (aka Fear Asylum)


The Viewster post
A young couple has just faced a car accident. They join a group of Derby girls to seek shelter in a dilapidated mental asylum. They cannot make the journey until the following morning and the darkness is closing in. Soon, they find out that there is the haunting spirit of a girl in the asylum. She, however, seems to be traumatized and seeks vengeance. In their attempt to understand the girl, the group finds another dark spirit that vows to end their lives.

Room 33 leaves me wondering.

What exactly was this movie about? How is it that a lunatic can project a demonic father figure into reality to kill people by smudging their eyes out with goo? (I know it was supposed to be an effect of tearing eyes out but it really looked more like a smudging to me.) The "monster" in this movie was really rather annoying and came off like some sort of "euro-trash-thug-demon" more than a scary supernatural presence. How exactly a former government LSD scientist became this ghastly presence in the old hospital is beyond my comprehension, or perhaps it just wasn't clearly stated in the story? I liked the main cast being a roller derby team of smokin' chicks, the fact that none of them show any skin is a little weak. They couldn't even deliver the cheap thrills in this plot hole ridden flick. I just kept watching in the hopes that the story would eventually make some sense, but alas, no such luck.
