Of them, directorMartin Barnewitz’s “Room 205” has been themost successful at the box office. Offering bloodysurprises and rotting ghosts, the film beginswith a traditional horror opening when countrygirl Katrine moves into a college dorm ruled bya gang of bullies. When Katrine’s interest fallsupon dormmate Lukas, all hell breaks loosethrough his old and deadly jealous girlfriendSanne, who lives in the rumored-to-be-hauntedroom 205, where a girl is said to have died 20years ago. True enough, soon something movesinside the mirrors, the old myth becomes flesh and blood and people start to perish.“Room 205” is a classic ghost story, butclearly derives inspiration from the new waveof Asian horror movies like “The Ring” and “TheGrudge”.
