Now the two siblings have become estranged over the years, so this seems to be a great opportunity for a catch-up/patch-up ... well, at least Jeremy seems to think so, but Brian is quick to squash all such aspirations when he asks Jeremy to pay rent - something which Jeremy eventually and begrudgingly agrees to, also because as an actor he doesn't make all that much money. However, as a landlord Brian clearly sucks, because he complains about <i>everything</i>, including the noises his own couch makes when somebody sits down on it. So the brothers' time together is a little complicated as it is. Thing is, there's more to the story than meets the eye, and this "more" isn't exactly comfortable ...<p> <p>One can't help but love the concept of this movie: It starts out as a sort-of-comedy that really plays one awkward situation to the hilt, and then pulls back layer upon layer until we end up with something really dark. But a good concept isn't worth anything without good writing - which <b>Enter the Room</b> boasts in spades though, it'Äs full of witty dialogue, makes the best of its limited locations, and presents us with a couple of well fleshed out characters. And of course strong acting and a suitably subtle yet on-point directorial effort sure help to make this a very worthwhile if pretty macabre short.<p>  </td> <td width="4" rowspan="2"></td> <td width="100" rowspan="2" background="../stylepix/squareright.gif" valign="top">  </td> </tr> <tr> <td width="592" valign="top">  <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> currentyear = "2025"; </SCRIPT> <SCRIPT language="JavaScript" src="../scripts/endcredits.js"></SCRIPT> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> dosworsdonn(); </SCRIPT> </td> </tr> </table> </div> </body>
