What happens

The Disappointments Room is a 2016 American psychological horror film directed by D. J. Caruso, written by Caruso and Wentworth Miller, and starring Kate Beckinsale and Mel Raido as a couple in a new house that contains a hidden room with a dark, haunted past. The film was inspired by an HGTV episode from a segment called "If Walls Could Talk" in which a Rhode Island woman discovered a secret attic room in her home used to conceal a disabled family member from elite society, otherwise known as a Disappointment Room. Originally completed in 2014, the film was only released on September 9, 2016 by EuropaCorp Distribution and Rogue. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
