‘The Disappointments Room’ Trailer: Kate Beckinsale Unlocks A Room Full Of Horrors
The Disappointments Roomwas one of the movies impacted by Relativity’s bankruptcy.D.J. Caruso’s horror film hasn’t been delayed as long asBefore I Wake(watchthat trailerhere), but it started shooting back in 2014, and it was originally scheduled to come out earlier this year. Relativity will release the movie, which starsKate Beckinsale, in limited release next month, on the same date they had last scheduledBefore I Wake.
Below, watchThe Disappointments Roomtrailer.
In Caruso’s latest effort, when Dana (Beckinsale) and her 5-year-old son (Duncan Joiner) move into their new home, she discovers a hidden room in the attic. What’s in the room is mostly kept a secret in the trailer, although there’s a line or two in the trailer that maybe hints at what to expect. The film co-starsGerald McRaney(House of Cards) andLucas Till(X-Men: First Class).
Here isThe Disappointments Roomtrailer (Source:Yahoo! Movies):
The Disappointments Roomis written byPrison BreakandLegends of TomorrowstarWentworth Miller. His first screenwriting credit was Park Chan-wook’sStoker. That story is a little muddled, thematically, but it shows that Miller has real talent as a writer. He wrote some tense, sometimes emotionally horrific sequences that Park and that cast brought to life beautifully.
Whether we’ll have similar praise for what D.J. Caruso does with Miller’s script forThe Disappointments Room, we’ll have to wait and see, but the trailer isn’t particularly promising. The scares shown aren’t very effective, and one line appears to telegraph too much (although maybe it’s misdirection). The mystery itself, though, is somewhat alluring.
D.J. Caruso has another movie coming out early next year. He’s currently working onxXx: Return of Xander Cage, a sequel we recently sawa trailerfor. His last few films –Standing Up,I Am Number Four, andEagle Eye– didn’t reachDisturbia’s level of critical and financial success.Standing Upwas a smaller film, so that’s expected, but still, his films haven’t connected with an audience in a while. He did, however, directThe Salton Sea— a grimy thriller with a strong Val Kilmer performance — which has gained a few more fans since its release.
Here’s the official synopsis:
The psychological thriller follows a woman (Beckinsale) who moves into a new house with her 5-year-old son only to discover a secret room within the attic where unimaginable horrors are accidentally unlocked.
The Disappointments Roomopens in limited release and on VOD onSeptember 9th.
