“The Forever Room” (** out of four) was an overly cerebral and unpleasant horror melodrama about a young woman (Samantha Valletta) who awakens chained in a basement and soon finds to her horror that her captor and tormentor is her own mother (Vickie Hicks) and she is soon beset by frightening hallucinations and ruminations that begin to blur the delirious line between reality and insanity. For anyone who’s longed to see a cross between “One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest” and “Saw” with elements of “The Shining” sprinkled in, look no further; this isn’t bad and does have some good acting and provocative elements but it becomes numbing after a while. Co-star Hicks also wrote the script.
