There are way too many movies about creepy homes and creepy people in creepy rooms, but 'The Room' takes a twist on a wilder fantasy. Imagine if you had a room that gave you anything you asked for? Kate and Matt live life until Kate decides to ask for something that has some dire consequences. Here is all you need to know about the mystery thriller.

Release date

'The Room' is set to release on Vod on July 21, 2020.

Plot

The official synopsis reads: "Kate and Matt are a young couple who've recently moved into a mansion on the outskirts of town. Though lovely, their new abode comes with a few quirks. Upon discovering a peculiar room in their home, the two realize that this is no ordinary house. This strange room holds the unbelievable ability to materialize their wants, wishes, and desires. Using this to their advantage, Kate and Matt decide to bring their dreams of being parents to fruition. Unfortunately, their wish will come with a price."

The movie was directed by Christian Volckman. Jacques-Henri Bronckart, Olivier Bronckart, Lilian Eche, Yael Fogiel, Laetitia Gonzalez and Christel Henon serve as producers.

Trailer

The trailer is a thrilling one to say the least, and while it doesn't give too much away about if the room is haunted or magical, it seems as though Kate and Matt have a price to pay. Imagine a room that gave you want you wanted? One of the interesting parts of the trailer and the narrative is the couple trying for a child, after going through heartache twice before. Without thinking about the consequences, Kate decides to ask for a baby, and while that's great, we don't think that child, Shane, or his parents are going to live a normal life.
