Critics Consensus

The Disappointments Room lives down to its title with a thrill-free thriller that presumably left its stars filled with regret - and threatens to do the same for audiences.

Disappointments has the strange confidence of a much slicker, more decisive movie, and all of its sort-ofs don't add up to much. Go to Full Review Marc Savlov Austin Chronicle Sep 15, 2016

The Disappointments Room lives (and dies) up to its name. Go to Full Review Katie Walsh Los Angeles Times Sep 12, 2016
This spooky house flick would be better off locked up in the attic and forgotten for good. Go to Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It Jan 2, 2021
With a lack of vision, missing frights, and a bizarre conclusion, this film is, well, a disappointment. Go to Full Review Allison Rose FlickDirect Aug 14, 2019

Robert P @Superbad Oct 5, 2026 The Disappointments Room = a .5 star Movie! See more B P @Bradster69 Sep 1, 2026 Not Bad, but Not My Favorite See more Francis S @Francis101 Nov 22, 2025 It's hard to say what went wrong in this movie. There are times where bad movies are a guilty pleasure to watch. But this one is irritating for his banality and bad direction. Scenes are just cheap scares without any buildup.

Utter garbage, terrible acting with unlikable characters and loose ends left everywhere. Do yourself a favour, avoid like the plague.
