Synopsis

From the Overlook Hotel in THE SHINING to the Bates Motel in PSYCHO, inns haven't gotten a good rap in the world of books and film. In THE LOST ROOM, the Sunshine Motel doesn't fare much better. Decades ago, supernatural forces transformed Room 10 at the motel into a cache of magical power in which each object in the room can do something special. Detective Joe Miller (Peter Krause, SIX FEET UNDER) discovers a mysterious key that changes his life. His daughter (Elle Fanning, BABEL) disappears into the room, and the key is the only thing that can help Joe find her again. But he isn't the only one who wants the precious objects, causing hordes of obsessive collectors to descend on him. With its labyrinthine plot and imaginative premise, THE LOST ROOM garnered praise from critics and audiences alike. This Sci-Fi channel miniseries also stars Julianna Margulies (ER), Kevin Pollak (THE USUAL SUSPECTS), and Roger Bart (DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES).

5.0 out of 5 stars An amazing series, sadly overlooked..., 26 Aug 2007
I first heard about The Lost Room through word of mouth, which seems to be the primary method of distribution for this fantastic show as it was criminally under-marketed.
I would recommend it to anyone who is a fan of clever, cliffhanger style American dramas such as Prison Break, Lost or Heroes, though The Lost Room is generally a little more sedate than these shows.
I have been fortunate enough to see the whole four and a half hours of The Lost Room in one sitting, not something I would usually undertake, and can say it was one of the most enjoyable televisual experiences I can remember in recent years.
The concept is truly original, if a little strange, but it is testament to the show's compelling story and compassion you feel for the protagonist that you quickly suspend your disbelief at the idea of a wrist watch that can boil an egg or a cufflink that lowers blood pressure (merely throwaway examples) and enjoy the great writing, genuine suspense and intrigue.

This miniseries is crying out to be picked up for a more complete run - the ending, while satisfactory within the story arc, leaves many questions unanswered and the series very open. I urge you and anyone you know who enjoys this kind of thing to purchase this DVD. The show didn't cause enough of a ratings spike in the US to warrant it being immediately snapped up for more episodes, so the networks will be watching the DVD sales carefully.

Even if you don't buy this DVD, please just find a way to see this show and if you like it, tell someone about it, it truly is well worth your time.

5.0 out of 5 stars A genuine original, 26 Aug 2007
By Ray Blake (Hemel Hempstead, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Originally a TV miniseries that very few people watched, this quickly acquired cult status through word of mouth. Because of the miniseries format, the mysteries have solutions and the story is resolved. Scripts and photography are faultless and the concept is genuinely original. Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must See TV, 9 Sep 2007
I just bought and watched the entire mini-series this weekend. This is one amazing piece of television. It has everything, is clever and very original. The concept is fascinating, the objects and how they came to be, the room and the 'event'. The characters are wonderful and you really care what happens to them in this incredible journey.
It is nicely tied up at the end, without revealing the main mystery. I personally liked this, as I felt it would ruin the magic to reveal the 'event' that caused the room and objects to get their powers, some may not agree, but I loved the mystery of it all.
I really do hope this becomes a series at some point, but for now this is one great story that is nicely contained in itself.
