The Room: An Interactive Experience

Overview

The single greatest cult film this side of The Rocky Horror Picture Show screens at the Hayden Orpheum for a monthly late-night engagement. Described by critics as "the Citizen Kane of Bad Movies", with one critic comparing the film to "being stabbed in the head", Tommy Wiseau's The Room is an indescribable mess of plot holes, non-sequiturs, blurry camerawork and soft-core sex scenes, topped off by some of worst performances ever put to film. So naturally, we're recommending you go and see it.

Of course, the truth is that no one really sees this movie. Rather, they experience it. Screenings of The Room are fully interactive, with audience members screaming lines of dialogue, dressing up like their favourite characters and hurling plastic spoons at the screen. This behaviour is actively encouraged by The Orpheum — in fact, they'll even be providing cutlery at the door. The cinema bar will be open ahead of each screening, something you should probably take full advantage of.
