Wonderful acting and plot!
jacobvillagetractor8 March 2024
If you are looking for a murder mystery based on a real murder mystery that took place in Green Bay over a hundred years ago this is the movie for you. A great cast with many moving parts that takes place between two different intriguing time periods, this movie captivate you right from the beginning! The cast put on a superb performance written by, directed, and starring critically acclaimed and world wide known Freddy Moyano. It takes place in many of the historical buildings right in Green Bay Wisconsin and the surrounding areas. Beautiful award winning costume designs, scenic locations, mystery drama, humor, and well written plot tie this movie all together. A must see!

Wonderful Time Travel Mystery
ddhvgy8 March 2024
Set between two time periods, follow the mystery of the "who done it" and you will see the pieces unravel before your eyes between the late 1800's and 1900's. See if you can figure out the ending and don't be surprised if you're wrong. Visually appealing and masterfully written, this piece will fulfill your desire for intrigue, deceit, drama & historical accuracy in period dress and buildings with a dialect to match both. Bounce from the murder in the past to the modern investigators as crimes are revealed, passion is taken over and no one is above suspect. Don't mistake friends for enemies or enemies for friends in this thriller that will find you anticipating the second part of this movie in the sequel, Room 108: The Redemtion.

Don't waste your time
akavic-1415110 March 2024
We have watched a number of movies, this one is the first one we were compelled to send our review. We don't know what movie some of the reviewers (if even real) watched, but it can't be the same one we did. We didn't see authenticity in some of the wardrobe, language, sets. Plot - what plot? Thriller - not so much. Confusing - oh yeah. We felt the storyline was made as it was filmed. The names of many of the women were names that you here in the 20th century and not the 19th century. We thought the storyline started ok at the beginning but then gets lost in chaos and we had a hard time following why. We did not find it intriguing or we don't care to waste our time watching it again or seeing any sequels. Our game night group could only rate this 1/10.

Time Travel Mystery
joshuabartlett-856968 March 2024
When you take an urban legend from a hundred years ago and use that as a a basis for a murder mystery a hundred years later you get Room 108: The Clearing!

From award winning Freddy Moyano and a mult- layered talented cast plus so many historical revenues in Green Bay, you will get a glimpse into what this movie holds in store for you!

Beautiful period costumes worn by interesting characters and an intriguing script will lead you down the path to figuring out who really murdered the lead character. Guess it if you can because this one is a real teaser with so many twist and turns you'll be on a time traveling twister.

Congratulations everyone who made this film it is a true treasure!

Comparisons to Ed Wood Are Unfair - To Ed Wood
bernard_starzewski20 February 2024
The Green Bay Packers, a candy company, Harry Houdini, an old theater, some old forts, lots of costumes, horses and a woman with cosmic bazooka all come together to tell the story of... WHAT?

Having seen it twice now I'd like to know.

Scenes supposedly of historical places with modern buildings in the background shameless name dropping, meaningless dialogue and wooden acting move an undecipherable plot nowhere. (risk of spoilers is zero_

One might draw comparisons to Ed Wood but he at least he had Bella Lugosi and some perhaps unintended camp.

Intended to be some kind of time travel horror story the real horror is how so many people and local entities were enlisted to enable such a dreadfully incomprehensible patchwork of nonsense. One might think of Max Bialystock of The Producers assembling a show in all the wrong ways only no one would mistake this for a comedy. Maybe if it involved Hitler in some way. Hitler in Green Bay! Now there's a story line!

Edge of your seat time travel thriller
lauralbnsh9 March 2024
Room 108 The Clearing is a very intriguing, edge of your seat thriller. With historical locations from past and present this time traveling thriller will have you drawn in from beginning to end. With spectacular effects and beautiful scenery along with historic costumes from 1800-1900s era you will be glued to the screen. Creative story line with amazing Cast and crew...It's a Must watch. Your imagination will take you on a beautiful journey of wonder, surprise, suspense, intrigue and romance.. This is not your typical ... You will know the ending type movie. You will be so drawn in that. You will want to watch this again and again.

Wisconsin movie!!
irishsister8 March 2024
Another great Wisconsin based movie!!! This one was actually based off an urban legend in Green Bay. If my memory is correct (my disclaimer lol) the urban legend was on a murder committed at theater (now Meyer Theater) in Green Bay and the balcony is haunted and the award winning screen writer, director, and actor: Freddy Moyano: MLC Productions heard tell of this urban legend he kept the legend part as fact but ran with it after that and flipped the script on it's end to write a fun, quirky, time traveling movie of a guy traveling back to 1890 to clear his name and will he get back before time runs out. Great 1890 period costumes and attention to detail on all the sets and props!

Historical drama at its best.
caballoscondios11 March 2024
1890's depiction of a northeast Wisconsin murder mystery legend brilliantly portrayed. Costumes, music and sets all clearly reflect the period.

Creative cinematography. The time travel is brilliantly brought about. Scenes are moving and keep the viewer engaged in the characters lives. The viewer feels empathy for Jack Berger as he is so often miss judged. Great cast and acting. The first time you watch it keeps you wondering what happens next. The second time I watched, more things fell into place and it has a unique lure to watch again and again to pick up more clues hidden within the plot. Local history and ethnic culture is beautiful portrayed. Definitely a must see again and again.
