In one room, a coven of young witches congregate to bring their leader back from the dead... and they're just dying to use Ted in a rather personal way. In another room, the bellhop becomes a pawn in a couple's kinky psychological games. A third room is being torn apart by two unruly kids while their parents are out painting the town red. And in a fourth, three men involve Ted in a bet -- one that has potentially bloody results. [More]

They should have called this One Room and released it as a Rodriguez short.

Anthology films never work; Tarantino is not infallible; casting Madonna as a lesbian witch and Bruce Willis in a silly party hat doesn't necessarily make for great entertainment.

A ghastly train wreck of a movie, littered with the corpses of promising careers.

Maybe if you're a young, raw Hollywood aspirant, you believe that it's a sign of sophistication to be unrattled by the bizarre.

If anything, it may give pause to those who think Tarantino can do no wrong.

An over-anticipated, overworked movie that was full of talent but devoid of taste.

The segments are uniformly weak.

Even Tim Roth, an otherwise dependable actor, disappoints with overacting.

The result is a batch of shrill, self-indulgent sketches that turn so wretched in spots you start to wonder if the filmmakers wanted them to be bad.

Four of the hottest indie directors--Anders, Rockwell, Tarantino, and Rodrigues--miss a unique opportunity to display their idiosyncratic talents resulting in a tedious anthology in which 2 segments are inept, one barely decent, and one OK (guess whose)

Four Rooms asserts itself as a goof so laboriously and aggressively that you almost feel pinned back in your seat.
