THE ROOM

Synopsis

The meal begins with the usual warm soup and cold argument. A family in turmoil sets about their last meal together before their pregnant daughter moves away. A family friend excuses himself and heads upstairs to use the bathroom….there is a chilling scream… but when they investigate…there is no sign of him at all.

He has simply disappeared.

The only clue to where he might have gone is the sudden appearance of an eerie door at the end of the hallway. The door is locked and covered in strange writing. It does not belong in this house.

Now every single window in the house is sealed…unbreakable to the heaviest blows. The doors leading outside refuse to budge…secured by an unseen force…The phone lines have gone dead…The family is trapped inside. Unable to break free or to communicate with the outside world, they set about solving this unsettling mystery.

For a long time eldest daughter Melinda (Caroline Veyt) has been the brightest ray of light in this dark home--caring for her recently handicapped brother Alex (Pascal Duquenne), while their parents--a failed musician (Philippe Resimont) and an icy queen (Francois Mignon) look on in scorn. Alex has lived his life anchored in front of the family television…Now his sad eyes may hold the key to unlocking the room upstairs.

One by one each family member is drawn to the terror at the end of the hall…and one by one they disappear inside. As the last scream rings out, Melinda herself must face the mystery that lies behind the door if she has any hope to escape the house alive.
