Room 6 (2006)
8/10
Not bad at all

Warning: Spoilers
A pretty good attempt at horror/mystery. Thriller; whatever you wanna call it. The premise is this: a woman (Amy) with a phobia-like fear of hospitals is forced to confront her 'demons', so to speak, when she and her boyfriend get into a car accident. While she seems to be fine, her boyfriend suffers a broken leg, and a mysterious ambulance takes him (as well as the other driver's sister) to a hospital. Only they don't tell her or the other woman's brother WHICH hospital.

In Amy's search for her boyfriend, we find out about a terrifying secret from her past. One that I won't reveal here. The scenes in the hospital are genuinely creepy, and as the movie progresses, Amy's outside world fades more and more into an unforgiving place. In the end, she is forced to face overwhelming guilt, and overcomes it, just in time for twist ending that will make you think.

I think the thing that might bug people about this movie is that not everything is explained. And while certain scenes DO seem out of place, the overall theme remains recognizable throughout. At it's core it is about guilt; what we blame ourselves for, and how much of that blame we actually deserve.
