The Lost Room

Some doors are better left closed.

A mysterious event at the Sunshine Motel caused ordinary things in Room 10 to transform into indestructible objects with extraordinary powers. Detective Joe Miller (Peter Krause) discovers the dangerous potential of these objects when his daughter becomes lost in the room. His only hope of saving her is to find The Key, but shadowy figures will stop at nothing to keep it – and the other objects – for themselves.

Just great storytelling, original and unique with a quantity of mysticism thrown in just to keep you guessing. Take a chance, it's worth it just to see how a story can keep you on the edge of your seat. Solid performances, interesting characters and a script that's not afraid to refrain from answering all the questions and tying things up too neatly, like we North Americans always expect!

I would have to say unequivocally that The Lost Room is one of the freshest and most original genre works that I have seen produced for television. The idea of mundane everyday objects that have been imbued with supernatural powers is an entirely fascinating one – the great appeal of the series is watching each new object and its abilities being introduced. The mini-series also sketches out a complex backstory and mythology, of which it litters intriguing clues throughout, as well as a firmly detailed series of rules about the way the objects behave.

I loved The Lost Room not merely for its originality of concept but also for the sheer fun it has in playing with and constantly rearranging its ideas. The scenes where Peter Krause and Roger Bart break into Kevin Pollak’s supposedly impregnable apartment stronghold where all the locks have been removed using the door in a toy child’s house, only for Krause to reveal that he has brought his own lock and powerdrill to attach so that they can escape using the key is positively ingenious. There is much fun to be had in the episode dealing with the comb, none the more so than a chase sequence where Peter Krause stills time and realizes there is a bullet only centimetres away from his head. There is a constant level of unveiling conceptual intrigue built into the series as the various secrets of The Objects are unveiled. This is never at its most fascinating than at the end of the second two-hour instalment when a set of mundane photographs reveal the Room the way it was in the beginning and then in the series most creepy moment Peter Krause sees someone staring back out of the photo and realizes that the Room originally held a human Occupant.

As it stands on its own, The Lost Room is a gem of televised fantasy.

Too bad they didn't continue with more seasons of this quite unique and original storyline. I thoroughly enjoyed this series and I thought it had great potential to create a new cult following. Objects that have mysterious powers and even more when combined left room for a whole new set of stories for each episode. If your a Twilight Zone, Outer Limits fan, you're going to really like these great episodes of the Lost Room.
