Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

It's entirely possible that sending the audience out feeling lousy was intentional

The movie's neither hopeful in contrived ways, nor hopeless in different contrived ways. Somehow it manages to be wonderful

A young couple is held tied up in the basement of some people of German descent. How they got there is told as a flashback as we see Mark Crowe (Michael Lieber) the world's worst stand-up comedian and girlfriend Jill (Loren Peta) rent a room from Henry (Christopher Craig) and Josephine (Antonia Davies) who are eccentric in their ways. Strange things go on in the house that would allow anyone familiar with the genre to know exactly what is going on. And since we already know they wind up in the basement, the film supplies its own plot spoiler.The characters were irritating by design, even our protagonist Jill, wasn't a joy either. Knowing what happens kills the film. The whole thing with the baby crying was a dead give away.Guide: F-word, sex, rape.

I don't really know where to begin with this one. All was very obvious from the offset and any element of suspense or surprise there might have been was ruined with the reveals of the 'flash forward' that littered this film.Just an odd, pointless piece of film making for me. Odd editing and overall a waste of 80 odd minutes. This was actually quite a nasty film and not in the horror aspect, but in the aspect it was ever made.

It's really hard for me to write a review about such an ugly little movie. "A Room to Die For" is just that movie. It would seem it is about an unmarried couple who are seeking shelter for a month until the girl can...I don't really know. Her boyfriend, an aspiring comedian, is about as useful as a screen door on a submarine. Off they go to find this "room." The house is owned by two older people, and anyone with only one functioning brain cell could tell there is something way off about both of them. I am not going to bother with any other details.It is one thing to have a movie that might leave its audience scratching its head. However, it is altogether different when you have a movie where you know from the get-go the protagonists are in danger, yet they do nothing but ignore the obvious until their impending doom.Rated "R" for gruesome images, violence, and language.

Can't believe someone gave this a 10...he must be incredibly hard to please, this film is just bad, predictable nonsense with horrible embarrassing acting from everyone but Christopher Craig...there are no surprises, none, what you expect to happen in the first ten minutes is literally what will occur, it's a really pointless, needlessly gratuitously violent grubby little film, I didn't like it at all.It certainly isn't worth a ten off anyone and I can only assume this person has a vested interest.I don't know what it is with this new fad of a 'young couple with a new house that hides a terrible secret' thing the film industry is doing, I think I prefer ghosts.
