Every Halloween, a family living in the barren sprawl of the California desert transforms their home into a DIY haunted house attraction for the neighborhood. What used to be a group effort has increasingly become the dad’s obsessive fantasy that his family is expected to enact. Hilarious, uncomfortable, and deeply strange, ROOM TEMPERATURE is haunted-house cinema as poetic autopsy, a slow, disquieting meditation on control, longing, and the fantasies we force onto others. Novelist Dennis Cooper (The George Miles Cycle and The Sluts) & visual artist Zac Farley (PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT) team up once more to create a movie that John Waters called “weird, creepy, and maybe… just maybe, great”.
