Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 2/5 --
Shallow, violent movie could spark teen discussion.

Common Sense Media
Rating: 1/5 --
A movie of utter, unspeakable, hideous awfulness. A movie that makes you want to prise open your brain and scoop out all memory of having watched it.

Daily Mirror (UK)
Rating: 1/5 --
Pantomimic dialogue, stagey sets and underwritten characters render this instantly obsolescent.

Daily Telegraph (UK)
Rating: 2/5 --
In the end, Nakata's notion of a web gone wild has moments of visual merit, but is a little too clinical and coldly cynical.

Little White Lies
Rating: 2/5 --
Nakata - here making his English language debut - fails to drum up much in the way of tension from the plot's hoky attempt to exploit fears about the existence of online suicide clubs.

Unfortunately the scenes set in the real world (the locations include Camden Lock and the London Zoo) are stilted and unconvincing, while those in the chatrooms become increasingly tedious.

Veers into thriller territory with predictable results. It's strange that a movie so lacking in substance arrives with such pedigree.

Product Description:
A handful of teenagers make the mistake of baring their souls to the wrong person in this thriller. Eva (Imogen Poots) is a young model whose good looks and poise disguise her aching doubts about herself and her wishes she could be more like others. Jim (Matthew Beard) is still wrestling with the demons brought on by a painful childhood and tries to beat back his fears with drugs. Emily (Hannah Murray) feels plain and unattractive and is filled with resentment towards her ambitious father and mother. And Mo (Daniel Kaluuya) struggles with his sexual desires for children, in particular the sister of a close friend. These four young people are frequent visitors to an internet chat room, where they can talk about their fears and anxieties while being drawn out by the compassionate moderator. But the man who runs the chat room is not all he seems. William (Aaron Johnson) is the unstable and neglected son of a successful author (Megan Dodds); he's grown to hate his more confident brother Ripley (Richard Madden) and has established the chat room in order to manipulate others to his own ends by getting them to share their secrets and using this knowledge against them. CHATROOM was the second English-language feature from Japanese horror veteran Hideo Nakata.
