Looking for a fresh start, Dana (KATE BECKINSALE), David (MELRAIDO) and their five-year-old son move from the big city to a rural Southern mansion in need of restoration. But the young family’s dream home quickly becomes a chilling nightmare when Dana discovers a hidden room in the attic, unleashing unexplainable events that test her sanity and slowly reveal shocking secrets from the past.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Unwanted: Inside The Disappointments Room<\/em> (4:38)<\/u><\/strong> is a featurette on the making of the movie instead of what audiences thought of it… Anyway, this includes some run-of-the-mill on-location interviews with the cast and crew.<\/p>\n

Fox releases The Disappointments Room<\/em><\/strong> onto DVD (and only DVD, no Blu-ray) presented with a 16×9 enhanced 2.39 widescreen aspect ratio and although this is a very darkly lit movie, with little color, still don\u2019t look too bad for standard def.<\/p>\n

The disc includes a basic Dolby Digital 5.1 track which is effective but nothing outstanding. At least there is some modest depth for the \u201catmospheric\u201d scenes.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

\n

Overall, No Escape<\/em><\/strong> is an all around entertaining film perfect for a Saturday movie night. No, it doesn\u2019t make you think or have any profound performances but the acting isn\u2019t bad with Owen Wilson serving as a fine everyman type of character and Pierce Brosnan in his small part is a lot of fun. This is probably worthy of a rental or, if under $10, purchase. The Blu-ray released by Lionsgate offers so-so video, good audio and an OK selection of bonus material.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
