“The Devil In The Room” (** out of four) was a paint-by-numbers horror thriller about a young couple (Darlin Barry and Chris Cox) who attempt to prevent (yawn) a supernatural evil spirit in their house from trapping their souls in the murky area between sleep and reality but soon find that this is a more cerebral and integral battle than they initially realized. Far from the worst of its disreputable genre, with decent performances and colorful cinematography, but is hindered by its derivative and hokey story told countless times before. By now, once you’ve seen one devil in a room or house you’ve pretty much seen ’em all.
