Jonah gets blamed for things and then...We do have options...Captain Howdy, ghosts, mom is crazy, or maybe someone is living in the walls of the house. Dialogue and soundtrack was similar to a made for TV film. Odd twist.Guide: F-word. Attempted rape. FF nudity (Ramlah Frediani)

Reading the 5 reviews I had good expectations of watching a well made ghost horror movie. I was very disappointed. I wasn't scared once and was waiting for this mess to end. The 5 other reviewers only reviewed this movie telling me it's individuals who are affiliated with the making of this movie. Not plot not scares and horrible acting is what wasted 90 mins of my time and this is coming from someone who loves a good ghost story and is always non partial when reviewing a movie. I have learned my lesson. I will do my research instead the reviewers before and not after I watch a movie with unusually great reviews. Thanks for reading.

The story lulls you in to a somewhat peaceful state and then suddenly you have the crap scared out of you in the blink of an eye. This is a tremendous psychological thriller about a mother and her autistic and mute son. Maddie mother wants to make a change in her and her sons Jonah's life. She buys and beautiful house in the suburbs. As her sons behavior slowly changes, she still does not realize the secrets this pleasant looking house still has for her and son. Adam was able get grab the feel of many of the psychological thrillers of the 70s. He has chosen the perfect house for the setting of this thriller. Casting of the actors was superb for this shocker! Can't wait to see what he has in store for us with his next movie! Loved it

Fear is a motivator to bring people together or tear them apart. Fear for your child with or without disabilities is primal and all encompassing. "Empty Rooms" brings out all these emotions in a terrifying and "edge of your seat" narrative. You leap out of your chair many times in this psychological thriller directed by Adam Lamas. Get the right director and you will get a million dollar scare.Loved the retro feel of the film. It reminds me of when I would hunker down into my seat at the old Roosevelt theater, popcorn in hand, ready to cover my eyes in anticipation of the terror filled horror about to leap off the screen. What a thrill ride, a good story, good acting and a shocking hour and half that keeps you wondering what happens next. Loved it.
