Where's the lion and the witch?

Warning: Spoilers
David (Mel Raido), Dana (Kate Beckinsale), and their son Lucas (Duncan Joiner) leave their New York apartment (?) for a Tudor in North Carolina. Dana has issues with the death of their new born, and is on medication...or not. In the home they discover a chifforobe blocking a hidden door which leads to the title room. It is a room where deformed children were kept locked up and hidden away. Dana has flashbacks and illusions. She sees a dog...or maybe its a Lycan? Oops sorry wrong film.

Celia Weston plays a friendly shop owner which could have only been done better by Dee Wallace offering meat pies. I thought Marcia DeRousse was great as the librarian and she was going to get an expanded role replacing Zelda Rubinstein. Alas,the film didn't spin that way. The performances were good overall, but the plot was a me-too haunted house type film that should have taken the spotlight off a blonde Kate Beckinsale for a minute.

How do you get a cat to calmly hold still for a bath? To me that was the most unbelievable thing in the film.

Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity.
