This review is from: Dark Chamber (DVD)

A young man leaves his mother to live with his ex-cop father. (His parents are divorced.) Outside the father's house, a hooker is murdered. The young man enlists two college mates to help him investigate the people renting rooms from his father -- is one of them the murderer?

(They investigate by installing video cameras into the walls, hence the alternate title: UNDER SURVEILLANCE.)

I'm being generous giving this film 3 stars. There's some decent acting (amid some poor acting), and the story held my interest.

But the photography, lighting, and sound looks like this was shot by hobbyists using a VHS camcorder. Probably not, but that's how it looks.

And while the story held my interest, the editing was choppy. The story jumped about incomplete vignettes, and felt like whole scenes were missing.

Contrary to one review, this is not a slasher film. No superhuman slasher (like Jason or Myers) stalking people. DARK CHAMBER tries more to be a suspense film -- it's marketed as Hitchcockian -- but that would be overly generous.

Probably the only reason this film is getting any attention is because of actresses Felissa Rose, Desiree Gould (both of SLEEPYAWAY CAMP) and Raine Brown. Rose has a significant supporting role, but Gould and Brown are barely in the film.

Raine Brown has only 1 or 2 minutes of screen time, playing a hooker (not the one who is killed).

Film also has bloopers. The father tells his son that the mother is threatening to go to court unless he sends the son back to the mother. HUH? The son is in college -- over 18! Parents don't have "custody" over kids once they turn 18. They become adults, and can live with whichever parent they like, or with no parent.

DARK CHAMBER really only deserves 2 stars. It meanders along in its choppy fashion, and isn't very scary. But I was in a "low-budget mood," and bought it cheap, so I enjoyed it.

Another plus: lots of special features, including "on set/behind the scenes" footage, interviews with Rose, Gould, and Brown, and more.

This is an awesome movie! I'm am a proud member of the Happy Evangelical Center of the Bar Park-n-Ride Living La Viva Mild Sauce Heavenly Bound Horror Film watchers and I've never seen anything better! This film is what makes the big time movies look totally stoopid. It's the best because of the way they made the design on her back look really really real.

Wow. I had some low expectations for this movie and was pleaseantly surprised with the Lead Actor's chops. I didn't think there would actually be a great actor in a slasher movie like this. I hope to see that guy in other stuff soon!!!
