Darkroom

Starring Kaylee DeFer, Elisabeth Rohm, Christian Campbell, Tobias Segal

Directed by Britt Napier

Michelle (Kaylee DeFer) is admitted to a psychiatric hospital after a deadly accident, and works at becoming a normal person again with the help of Dr. Rachel (Elisabeth Rohm).  Rachel gets Michelle a job at an old castle-like home, but Michelle soon discovers she's been lured into a deadly trap, where Rachel and her deranged brothers hold her and other girls captive and torture them in hopes of "getting the sin out of them" like their mother did for them.  Now Michelle has to find her own way out of this house of horrors before it's too late.

The only light in this otherwise dark - heh, like the title - film is the cat-and-mouse game played by Michelle and her captors.  Other than that, the film is extremely boring and predictable, something you would find any night on Lifetime.  The characters are totally one-dimensional, and the heroine isn't even someone you like, because she acts throughout the entire film as a pompous, self-righteous person who doesn't understand why all the bad things happen to her, even though she's responsible for bad things happening to other people.  Although the comeuppance of the bad guys is slightly satisfying.

My Rating: C-
