From NetFlix:

After Detective Joe Miller (Peter Krause) finds a key that opens a mysterious motel room, he discovers it’s a portal to an alternate universe when his young daughter Anna (Elle Fanning) disappears inside. Desperate to retrieve the key and save her, Miller comes up against a host of bizarre characters who also want access to the room. Julianna Margulies, Kevin Pollak, Dennis Christopher and Margaret Cho co-star in this eerie fantasy

My son Mike recommended that I watch a wonderful TV fantasy miniseries called The Room. As it turns out, Mike made a small mistake. “The Room” is now a cult film that plays often at the Coolidge Corner cinema. “The Room” is billed as the worst film ever made. Unfortunately “The Room” arrived from NetFlix and I started to watch it. Believe me, “The Room” might possibly be the worst film ever made. Whatever you do, do NOT watch “The Room”.

What Mike should have recommended was a two-disk TV miniseries called “The Lost Room”. If you liked “Lost” and other such fantasy series, you will love “The Lost Room”. Peter Krause is perfect. And lately I keep finding films in which Julianna Margulies (“Canterbury’s Law”, “The Good Wife”, The Man From Elysian Fields (2001)) plays.

Just sit back, suspend all disbelief, and enjoy the ride!
