“THE ROOM had a strong debut in week one, which is where we usually see the biggest numbers,” said Craig Engler, Shudder’s General Manager. “But in week two the audience grew a staggering 150 percent, and week three viewership was only a hair below that, turning it into a monster hit. There’s something about THE ROOM and its claustrophobic story of a family stuck inside a house under extraordinary circumstances that’s really resonating with Shudder members.”
THE ROOM’s streaming premiere on Shudder on March 12 marked the first time the film had been commercially available in the U.S., Canada or the UK. The film had its world premiere last April at the Brussels International Fantastic Film festival and followed with a successful run on the international film festival circuit, earning Best Feature honors at both South Korea’s Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival and France’s Strasbourg European Fantastic Film Festival. THE ROOM, which also stars Francis Chapman, John Flanders, and Joshua Wilson, is Volckman’s sophomore feature. His debut was 2006’s animated feature Renaissance.
In April, Shudder is set to premiere the new docu-series Cursed Films, along with new seasons of The Last Drive-In with “Joe Bob Briggs” and “Wolf Creek” and the Shudder Original film 0.0Mhz, all under the banner of “Halfway to Halloween Month,” the service’s celebration of All Hallows’ Eve in April. New members can enjoy 30-days free with the promo code SHUTIN when signing up at Shudder.com.
