It was a foolish mistake to watch Room 1804 late at night in the dark. It wasn’t the scariest film, but it did make me quite nervous about dying that night.

The acting was very strong, the dialogue in the manager’s office between Samuel L Jackson and Cusack was very engaging. The majority of the film only has one character in it; the way he engages with the audience through his recording device and his descent into sanity is very exciting.

The lighting, set design and the cinematography was definitely the strongest aspect of the film. The different angles used in the hotel room helped to convey how the character was feeling, using sharp angles and sudden cuts to create a suspenseful mood.

Although the ending and some parts of the plot, mainly the middle and towards the end, were not very enjoyable, it was an overall good experience and I would not watch it again. Slightly spooky.
