  EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING
  
  The write-up for this movie was promising, in particular with Frank Finlay in the cast. Sadly, it did not even come close to be anything other than a '... read more »

  The Waiting Room
  
  This is the most awful film: such a lame plot. We felt it was just about the worst film we'd ever seen. Far too much obtrusive and slushy music - you felt ... read more »

  The Waiting Room

  The Waiting Room
  
  Aptly named, waiting we were, waiting for something interesting to happen. A waste of an hour and a half.
