The Room

Synopsis

A young couple moves to an old house in the countryside. There, they discover a room that can materialize any wish they desire. Seemingly happy swimming in money and champagne, they wish for something nature had been denying them and which could their dream into a nightmare.

Program Note

The supernatural mystery story of the secret room at the old house you just moved into, it is a somewhat cliché introduction. You may doubt this film is too obvious by its beginning, but the story development is powerful with surrealistic setting, you can’t close your eyes until it is finished. This film visualizes the irony of the situation to the irony of space at the climax, and it feels novel. (Ellen Y. D. KIM)
