Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

Anoushka Slater While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.

daggersineyes The first half of this movie was excellent. Tightly directed, great scares, brilliant atmosphere etc. But it dragged in the middle and the characters started behaving too stupidly and arguing way too much. Instead of sympathizing with them I began to get annoyed and lost interest in what was going on because not a lot was happening anyway. And the explanation of the "paradox" & how it related to what was happening just left me scratching my head and thinking "say what?"The ending made little sense especially since it wasn't clear what the motivations were behind it all. It just seemed completely random. But it was a good twist. Just needed something to explain it.Good acting throughout and quality directing, camera work etc helps as well as some innovative use of baby monitoring technology. This movie is also a good one for people who don't like much violence or gore to watch because it focuses more on building tension (does this well) and suspense & scaring you than grossing viewers out with blood & guts. Probably only one vaguely gory scene in the whole movie. I also liked the fight scenes and thought they were well done and realistic. I think that's part of the main appeal of this movie. It's very convincing and genuine. It also feels like everyone involved was very committed to making it work. That's important to me in a movie. Too many flicks - especially horror movies - have that "phoning it in" feeling from certain actors or crew. This doesn't. I also liked the occasional injection of subtle humour. Not the slapstick or sledge-hammer stuff of some horror movies, just a little of it to spice it up and lull you into false sense of security. Anyway - despite the problems with the second half & ending there's enough here to make this an interesting little flick, a cut above many of the horror flicks out there and worth watching.

Scarecrow-88 Imagine there's a paradox containing you in another world, a more frightening you that should remain locked in a box never to be opened or unleashed.The Baby's Room, as part of the 6 Films to Keep You Awake series, a normal family will never recover after moving into a peculiar house which seems to house a dark history, ala The Grudge, where a man murders his wife and baby and this traumatic series of events can be seen on television baby monitors. Juan(Javier Gutiérrez), a soccer reporter for a newspaper, sees a man next to his baby's crib through a television monitor and, from this moment on, becomes obsessed with discovering not only who he is but how this pertains to the new house they are living in. As he searches for the truth, soon learning of the possible paradox, a scientific theory brought to his attention by a cynical recluse who knows a little about everything, Juan's wife Sonia(Leonor Watling)becomes increasingly worried of his worsening condition. Even when she moves out with the child when Juan nearly kills them with a kitchen knife, we ourselves witness his deterioration, although it's relayed to us what it is that is driving him mad. Despite warnings not to "enter the box once opened", Juan might've just allowed something evil to escape.Álex de la Iglesia's The Baby's Room seems an awful lot like a "cursed house" movie at first, similar to The Amityville Horror or Ju-on:The Grudge, where a violent act relives over and over soon inflicting harm to those who inhabit an unfriendly abode. Juan, as portrayed by Gutiérrez, is incredibly concerned for his family and seemingly yearns to understand what the hell is going on in his house. In doing so, he learns of a disturbing truth which might've been better left a mystery. It's one of those tales where you just wish the family would leave the premises and never look back, knowing that this would not be the case and perhaps only terror lies in the future for them. To Iglesia's credit, he could've easily ended this on a positive note, but as often is the case, if one pokes his nose too far it's liable to be bitten off. We also see how Juan's paranoia and fear affects his marriage with Sonia..how she wants to make the marriage work, yet always finds, in her eyes, that Juan can not remain civilized and sane. We can see from both points-of-view, which I think is a great thing for a terror tale such as this one, where we sympathize with both parties, and see that as long as Juan persists about some evil out to get them, Sonia will do whatever it takes to protect herself and the child from what might possibly be a hostile threat, her own husband. The twist is a shock to the system because Sonia realizes her error, and yet is in no position to correct it.

Claudio Carvalho In Spain, the journalist of sports Juan (Javier Gutiérrez) has a perfect life with his wife Sonia (Leonor Watling): they have just had a baby and moved to an old house that needs to be repaired in a fancy neighborhood. When Juan's sister and her husband visit the couple, they give an electronic nanny to monitor the baby's room. During the night, Juan and Sonia hear voices in the room but they do not find anybody. On the next day, Juan hires an alarm system for the house and a monitor to observe the baby's room. When Juan sees a man in the room, he gets a knife to protect his son; however, Sonia believes her husband is insane and moves to the house of her mother. Juan investigates the happening with the former journalist Domingo (Sancho Gracia), who explains him the paradoxical experiment Schrodinger's Cat and the existence of parallel worlds. Further, he advises the obsessed Juan to leave the house otherwise could be trapped in another world."La Habitación del Niño" is a great supernatural movie, with an original ghost story explained through the complex Schrödinger's thought experiment. The first half of the story is magnificent, with Juan and Sonia showing a deep love for each other; however, Sonia not believing on her husband contradicts their love and friendship and the madness and obsession of Juan recalls Jack Nicholson in "The Shining". Anyway it is a totally different tale of haunted house, with great acting, frightening atmosphere and beautiful cinematography. My vote is eight.Title (Brazil): "Presença do Mal" ("Presence of the Evil")

Lawson The Baby's Room was apparently released as a TV movie in Spain but deemed good enough for a limited international DVD release. And it is really good, for a TV movie that is. It's got a TV budget so it's a good thing that it's not a horror that's reliant on special effects.The movie features a cool, creepy story about a couple with a newborn who move into a house. The couple start feeling something's odd about their new place but it's not until they set up a baby monitor that they realize what it is.I'm quite fond of Spanish horrors, I find. They take time to establish the characters and suspense, and though this movie isn't as polished as say, The Orphanage, I think the director, Alex de la Iglesia, is still one to watch out for. Hopefully he gets a bigger budget with his next horror outing.
