4/10

DARKROOM is another low budget American horror/thriller produced by Nico Mastokaris after he moved to the USA. It generally plays out like a low rent slasher although it has a lot more talk and less action than many similar genre entries which focus on the kills first at the expense of the plot. A group of characters come together at a house for a family reunion, but it transpires that one of their number is a murderous loon looking for revenge for past crimes. A double murder in the opening scene sets the tone, but this and the rest of that which plays out is completely average. The characters are flat, the unknown cast are okay but nobody stands out, and as a whole it's quite light on the bloodshed and horror content. The killer's identity is a disappointment as well because they've gone for the least imposing character in the entire cast.
