SYNOPSIS:

While visiting a cabin with her husband, Julianne becomes disturbed with horrific visions which question her sanity.

REVIEW:

I just spent 15 minutes trying to decide if I could get away with my entire review saying only: This film is pointless.

But that doesn’t seem fair. Not to the people that actually took the time to make this movie or the people interested in finding out whether it is worth watching. So I’ll soldier through and write a longer review. Even though I think you can pretty much figure out my feelings from that opening statement.

Anyways, the plot to The Inner Room pretty much goes like this: husband and wife arrive at cabin deep in woods. Wife has some mental issues and husband takes terrible pictures of things. Wife begins seeing things that may or may not be real – chicks wandering around in nightgowns, Billy Mahoney from Flatliners, someone stealing a baby. She continually wanders off though her husband freaks out about it and she promises not to do it again. She gets progressively crazier, he gets progressively angrier, until eventually they decide to call it quits and head home. But then they find signs that maybe wifey isn’t so crazy after all, and maybe those people she’s seeing are really ghosts. But who killed them and why, and why is the wife the only one that can see them?

I won’t describe the end here and not because I don’t want to spoil it, but because it just isn’t worth it. It makes no sense and I found myself not really caring about it once the movie jumped the shark (and the giant squid and the Fonze). I was basically just waiting for the end credits to finally roll.

Like some of the other movies I’ve reviewed, this one felt like it was really two different films that had been spliced together at some point. There is the whole storyline with the husband and wife and the loss of their baby, and then there is the storyline with the ghosts and the murderer in the woods. The connection that is made between them is flimsy at best and stupid at worst.

There was a red herring going on for a while. I bet TheBoyfriend (my poor put upon constant viewing partner) $5 that the plot was gonna play out with a Hellraiser: Inferno non-twist. He countered that he thought it was going to be more like What Lies Beneath. If you have seen either of those, you will understand what I’m talking about. If not, maybe you need to see more movies.

It turned out in the end that neither of us were correct (yay I get to keep my $5!). Because the twist (if you want to call it that which actually seems kind of grandiose for this movie) was much dumber than either of those theories. It basically boiled down to being a haunted house story – that pretended to be some kind of schizophrenic serial killer story.

While The Inner Room looks professionally made and is edited relatively well, I wasn’t impressed with the fact that they couldn’t seem to decide if they wanted a handy cam or steady cam look to it. There were several moments were the audio went wonky, and the dialogue was pretty flat. Compared to some other small budget horror flicks I’ve seen lately it looked better than average.

But that didn’t take away from the fact that in the end, it felt really pointless to have sat through this entire film. I took nothing away from it, I didn’t care about the characters, and I have a feeling that tomorrow I won’t even remember what happened in it.

The Deep End

 From Movie Guide

THE DEEP END received accolades at the Sundance Film Festival as well as vituperative condemnation from the homosexual community. It is a beautifully photographed and very well-directed low budget movie with some serious flaws in the script that could have been easily corrected.

The movie opens with concerned mother, Margaret Hall, driving from her South Lake Tahoe home to a nightclub in Reno, Nevada, called The Deep End where she confronts the owner, Mr. Reese, for his predatory seduction of her son, Beau. She found out about this because Beau was in a car accident while drunk and on drugs and accompanied by Mr. Reese.

While her two younger children, her daughter, Page, and young son, Dylan, seem like ordinary children, Beau, applying for a music scholarship for college, has been seduced into the homosexual world. His mother confronts him and he is hurt badly when she tells him that Reese agreed to take a bribe to stop seeing him.

Reese shows up that night and tries to have one last fling with Beau. They fight in the boathouse, and Reese falls through a railing to be impaled on an anchor. The next morning, the mom finds the body and thinks that Beau murdered Reese. Thus, she tries to cover up the crime, tying the anchor around Reese and taking him to a little cove to dump him into Lake Tahoe.

Her husband, Tom, is in the U.S. Navy, and she is unable to get hold of him. She is in over her head and makes one mistake after another. A gangster who was in business with Reese, named Alek Spera, says that Reese owed him and his partner money. They know that she murdered Reese, or at least they assume that she did because he was going to visit Beau that night. They want her to get them the $50,000 within 24 hours.

Margaret tries to get the money, but of course nobody will giver her any money without her husband’s signature. When she doesn’t show up to meet Alek, he drives over to her home and finds her bent over her father in law who has just had a heart attack. Alec helps Margaret apply CPR. The ambulance comes, and Alec is left alone in the house. It is clear he is beginning to understand from looking at the pictures and saving her father-in-law that this woman is a mother and this family of ordinary people has been thrown into extraordinary, horrifying circumstances. The next day he argues with his partner and comes back to tell Margaret that she only has to come up with $25,000. By pawning all her jewelry, she can only get $12,000. Alek’s partner comes to track Margaret down and maybe break a few legs and arms. Alek comes to her rescue, and the climax begins.

THE DEEP END asks the question how far a mother will go to save her family. The question implies the premise, which is that a mother’s love will triumph over all adversity. There’s much good in this premise, but the problem is that the movie resolves it in ways that don’t make sense and demand criminal behavior. Several critics were snickering. Of course, they may have been upset by the anti-homosexual theme, where the predatory Mr. Reese gets his comeuppance. However, the way that the initial death of Reese occurred, the easy solution was for Margaret to go to the police. When the video of Resse and Beau committing sodomy was shown to her, again she could have gone to the police. Regrettably, the writer, in wanting to tell this particular story, left too many plot holes, a few of which are absurd and even laughable. At one point, Margaret confesses her murder to her blackmailer. This is clearly not a smart move.

In spite of the script problems and the extreme romantic worldview, there are positive elements here. The family holds together, and forgiveness and love are the denouement. The unstated message of this film which people at the screening seemed to get was that the real problem with this ordinary family was the extreme absence of the father.

Scottish actress Tilda Swinton is superb as the American mother and has received rave reviews for this movie. She makes you believe some of the improbable moments. In fact, all of the acting is good, which is to the credit of the directors. The cinematography too is to be commended.

In all, THE DEEP END is a mixed bag. It’s a brave effort at filmmaking, but contains rough language and rough violence, as well as the homosexual video scene, which is pretty explicit, though not salacious. Also, it’s hard to remember a movie that’s given homosexual behavior a worse rap.
