Other than a sinking feeling, there’s not much else The Chamber is going to give you.
Aiming straight for mounting dread, Parker gets the job done aggressively.
Los Angeles Times by Kimber Myers
Ben Parker's feature directorial debut never takes full advantage of its small setting, resulting in a grim thriller that isn't as compelling as it might have been in stronger hands.
There’s a modicum of suspense, the sense that not all will survive and casting that gives away who has the best chance. It’s a shame everybody involved, including self-righteous Matts, is so unpleasant there’s nobody to root for.
