As an indi filmmaker Richard Kodai did face challenges to create Room 0, the first challenge was to obtain a bigger budgets for his production thing that he achieved for this movie but during the process of filming he realized that he has to be very punctual in the correct use of the budget. The situation of the budget forced the imagination of the director about locations and the cast, creating a movie in one room, with one main character and delivering a movie that by now has captivated the audience with its intriguing plot.

Room 0 is a film full of suspense and intrigue and viewing the movie is the only way to know the answer to many questions that audiences probably have but I think that the most important question is if the director Richard Kodai could achieved his goal of deliver a good movie with a good story and performances and with a low cost budget, also knowing that he is the writer, producer and director of the same. Room 0 has many intrigues due to the fact that wasn’t premiered at any festival so what is shown in the trailer is the unique information that people has about the movie and for that reason I do believe that is going to have a good reception for the unknown environment that has been created around this movie.
