A young woman has a fear of hospitals due some terrible thing she did when she was younger. She still has terrible nightmares about being in a hospital. Now she is faced with a relationship that is developing to the next stage when the two are in an auto accident. He is taken by an ambulance to a hospital. She is not allowed to ride with him and they do not tell her which hospital. She doesn't realize the omission until after she takes a cab to the closest hospital. She then meets the driver of the other vehicle. He tells a similar story. Together they try and find her partner and his sister. Their search of all of the hospitals turns up nothing.

Meanwhile her boyfriend is in a strange hospital and the staff are the ones from her nightmares. He realizes things are not right and tries to learn more and get out of the hospital despite the warnings from others in his ward. He witnesses strange and terrifying things. But as he tries to get out his girlfriend is following unorthodox methods and learns about an old hospital that burned down before she was born. She is told she can find it if she really wants to. The two paths converge as she has to face her fears and their causes before she can locate her boyfriend and help him. The end is unexpected and help explains much of the strangeness in the earlier parts of the film.

This is a film you have to stick with. At first I though it was very poorly written. Take the accident for instance. There are no police. There is no exchange of information. The participants just walk away and leave their vehicles behind. But this and many other strange things will make sense if you watch the whole movie. But you will have to put the bits together. There are no replays of scenes from different angles like in The Sixth Sense or Hide And Seek. But if you do stick with it you will discover what the film is really all about and it really works quite well. But it is not what you would really expect from the trailer. I personally think it winds up being better that they trailer lets on. Check it out.

Of all the recent direct to DVD horror movies that Anchor Bay has been churning out lately, it's safe to say that Room 6 is one of the best. Sadly though, that's not really saying a whole lot: Room 6 features many of the cliche' story conventions and predictable twists, and arguably one of the dumbest characters in a recent horror movie that I've seen lately in Shane Brolly (Underworld: Evolution) who after a car accident is taken to a mysterious hospital where the patients don't come back. Christine "Mrs. Ben Stiller" Taylor stars as his wife, who along with another victim of the accident (Jerry O'Connell) looks to find out just what's going on. The plot hardly makes sense, but Taylor, Brolly, and O'Connell are decent enough in a film that is far undeserving to feature any of them in it. Gore effects are good and Ellie Cornell (all grown up from the later Halloween films) is here, as are some blood drinking lesbian nurses (always a plus in my book), so Room 6 isn't as bad as it could have been. It's worth a look for horror afficiondos, but that's it.

Compared to many of the most recent "horror" films, ROOM 6 seems to be a classic, although it has its many flaws. Nonetheless, it has a spooky mood a'la KINGDOM HOSPITAL and its performers can actually act, for a change.
Christine Taylor fills the role of scream queen nicely, playing a young woman with an unusual phobia of hospitals. Seems like something terrible happened when she was twelve. That presents a problem when her hunky fiancee is injured in an automobile accident and is carted off via ambulance to St. Rosemary's Hospital. Problem is, Taylor can't find her beau and she joins fellow crash victim Jerry O'Connell, whose sister vanished too.
Shane Brolly (UNDERWORLD) plays the boyfriend, who is pretty stupid in the long run. He never seems to notice the unusual hospital personnel, doesn't ask where his girlfriend is, doesn't act like he's concerned about the weird hospital..until it's too late.
Ghostly happenings and some unusual camera techniques help the atmosphere, and for a low budget flick, ROOM 6 is worth a look.

There are so few good horror movies these days..this is a little gem in the dust. An interesting story with a twist...
An accident that leads to a young womans boyfriend being brought by ambulance to a hospital that is not supposed to exsist. Scary without the gore. I work in a movie store and I recommend this movie quite often and those who have seen it agree that it is very good.
I don't buy alot of movies but I had to have this one for my collection.

This Anchor Bay direct to video flick has a terrific premise about a man
who is in an automobile accident and is taken to a hospital that has
long been closed. His girlfriend tries to find him. The suspense is
excellent. Then, once the truth is revealed, the movie slows and the
effects are largely overdone and cheap, with a lot of ambiguity as to
just what happened. It would have been much better if there were no
ghosts and the story had a logical conclusion. Still, it will give the
viewer a few good moments. I guess you could do worse.

This movie has a good plot but that's where it ends,this type of movie where one is in a different place....then....etc..(I am not going to spoil a spoiled movie) I do like the fact that they show what the little girl did was wrong. (euthanasia is wrong). other than that, the hospital is never explained, are they a cult ? vampires? both? not enough scares, there is a part where the nurses get naked and drink blood. (that's the highlight of the movie,except the blood)

Who in there right mind gave this thing the green light to be written, produced and then released?

Take my word, the plot SOUNDS better then it is. Marcia Brady is in a car accident with her boyfriend and weird things begin to happen. First no one is helping them get out and no one seems to care very much. An ambulance arrives and takes the boyfriend away, but has not told miss Clueless what hospital there taking him to. She goes to the local hospital but he was not taken there. She meets the Sliders guy who was in the other car and he can't find his sister either in the same situation. So they try to locate them, only to discover they have been taken to a hospital that burnt down years ago for being devil worshipers or something.

Like I said, if that sounded interesting, beleive me, thats all there is thats any good. The movie is completely stupid and makes no sense. She sees all of these burnt up monsters type of people who keep telling her she won't get her boyfriend back, then the scenes in the hospital with the boyfriend are just.... *cringe* what are they supposed to be? Demons, Zombies, vampires? Yet at no point in the movie did i feel anyone was really in any danger or something bad would happen to them. Just a few weird scenes here and there that make no sense.

I guess the writer thought it would be scary to see blood sucking nurses in the shadows, but they have a lot to learn about the actual viewers of these things, cause with no tie ins, or explanations, some kind of gore factor, then these movies get rated low... very low.

There is much more I could say about the scenes that don't make sense, but I wanna point out the title. Room 6.... r66m 6... was there any point in this movie they referred to the ward as room 666? It hardly seemed like a scary room. The movie should have been, "St Marys Hospital, and it's un-spooky spooks"

To have nurses and doctors who you hear are this and that and are going to do these bad things, you hardly feel entertained when they act normal, keep backing away from the table, talk about golf and then say calmly, "we should burn in this fire, it's where we belong" ... those who have seen this will know what I mean, where is the suspence factor in waiting for something to happen, needing something to happen, or there should have been something happen to improve the movie, and there just standing around smiling? They don't have demon faces, no odd surgery, no devilish thoughts, no nothing...ZZzzzzzzzzzzzz... and they just stand back when Barbie runs in to save her boyfriend and walk him calmly out of the hospital to live happily ever after.

P.S: For those obsessed Jason fans, Kane Hodders appearance in this movie isn't worth &^%$. So don't go giving high reviews just because he was in it for 5 seconds.

"ROOM 6 - DVD"

LOOK...If I can stop just one person from blowing your hard earned money, not to mention your precious time, on this horrible movie then I'll feel like my job is done here. I'm so ticked off I waisted my time and money on this garbage I just had to warn the public myself. Don't get me wrong, I can like a bad movie but ROOM 6 is just flat out horrible.
The dialog has to be the worst. The story line is used and worn out. The acting is flat out terrible(no one was good in this flop!). But what I couldn't get over was how staged everything felt. I felt like I was on the set of the movie(which I've never been) and I just wanted to say, "let's do that take again". Seriously, the acting is terrible, terrible, terrible.

HEED MY WARNING...SAVE YOUR MONEY.

I give, ROOM 6, 2 thumbs down and 2 middle fingers straight to the producers!!! Oh yeah, one other thing... I want my money back!

I thought the plot really dragged in this sappy, semi-scary film about a young women who's frightened of hospitals, but has to go into one to rescue her husband. Of course, in conquering her fears she saves his life, blah, blah, blah. Her husband, meanwhile, discovers that four of the nurses are blood-drinking lesbians in one of the most blatantly stupid scenes in the entire film. Clearly, somebody on the production staff must have realized that this film was a dud and that perhaps by adding a completely unimaginative girl/girl/girl/girl encounter they could somehow save it. But alas, this film is one patient that was beyond saving.

Absolutely horrible. 1 star at best. What's there not to like? The acting is absolutely horrible. The special effects, especially the make-up, look amateur - the blood (and there is lots of it) looks very fake. Email me if you disagree. I hope I find a buyer for this DVD when I sell it on ebay...
