The Black Room
Larry [Jimmy Stathis] thinks it's a dream come true when he rents an exotic "fantasy
room" in a mansion in the Hollywood Hills for only $200 a month. He uses
it for his trysts with various women and then goes home at night to tell
his wife Robin [Clara Perryman] all about them. Robin doesn't believe a word of it, but she
does like how Larry's fantasies are having a stimulating effect on their
lovelife, which is too often interrupted by the demands of their two
children, Mark [Edwin Avedissian] and Jenny [Allisun Kale].Larry's landlords, Jason [Stephen Knight] and Bridget [ Cassandra Gaviola], are brother and sister. Jason
has a blood disorder called thalassemia aka Cooley's anemia. Bridget helps
Jason to find victims whose blood they exsanguinate and transfuse into
Jason when he starts having one of his spells, which are becoming more and
more frequent. They also take great delight in peeking through the one-way
mirror and photographing Larry and his activities in the black room. After
a few weeks, Larry and Bridget start playing together, too.Everything is going along smoothly until Robin borrows Larry's car to
do some shopping and comes upon both the ad and the keys for the black
room. Shaken in her realization that Larry has been telling the truth,
Robin makes a copy of the key and goes snooping. The room is real enough,
and when she happens upon Jason, he shows her pictures of Larry and his
sex partners as proof. Robin is horrified and stays to watch Larry the
next time he brings one of his girls (Lisa [Charlie Young]) to the room.Jason suggests that Robin join in her husband's game and bring her
own lovers to the room. Mostly out of revenge but also curiosity, Robin
invites Lisa's boyfriend Terry [Christopher McDonald]. While they have sex, Larry watches through
the mirror and does a slow burn. Later that evening, after they have
returned home, Larry gives Robin an ultimatum...him or the room. Robin
needs some time alone, so she leaves the kids with Larry and goes to the
room to think.Meanwhile, Bridget and Jason have lured Terry and Lisa to the room
and fed them wine laced with knock-out drops. They carry their bodies down
to the lab and proceed to drain them of their blood. When Robin arrives,
she drinks some of the drugged wine and passes out. Larry calls their
babysitter Milly [Linnea Quigley] to stay with the kids, and then he drives to the mansion.
When he arrives, Jason chloroforms him and chains him in the black room
with Robin. Bridget telephones Milly and tells her to bring the kids and
join Robin and Larry. When Milly arrives, Bridget lures the kids out to
the garden while Jason takes Milly down to the lab.Jason then returns to the black room where Robin and Larry are
chained together. When he releases the chains to prepare Robin for
exsanguination, Larry suddenly leaps up and strangles Jason with a chain.
Larry then releases Robin and goes looking for the kids. He finds Milly in
the lab but, before he can release her, Bridget locks the lab door.
Robin wakes up and twists a coathanger into a point. When she
encounters Bridget, she jabs the point into Bridget's neck. Robin releases
Larry from the lab, and they go looking for the kids. They find them
asleep on the couch and take them out to the car. Then they remember
Milly, and Larry goes back to get her. Meanwhile, Jason has come to
consciousness. He tries to attack Larry, but Larry stabs him in the
stomach and drowns him in a bathtub of blood. Larry carries Milly out to
the car and, after having some trouble getting the car to start, the five
of them drive away.Meanwhile, inside the mansion, Jason and Bridget both revive. A few
days later, an ad appears in the newspaper for an exotic "fantasy room" in
a mansion in the Hollywood Hills for only $200 a month. [Original Synopsis by bj_kuehl]
