Back in 2011 Emma Donoghue wrote a novel that captured the hearts of all those who read it. Room, which was conceived after she heard the story of five-year-old Felix in the Fritzl case.
Room
The story follows five-year-old Jack who lives in an outbuilding with his mum. That one room is the only world he has ever known and believes that the rest of the world only exists via TV. What he doesn’t know is that his mum was kidnapped at the age of 19 and he is the product of her being raped by Old Nick who comes to see his mum at night bring food and essentials whilst he hides in the wardrobe.
The best-selling and award-winning novel has been made into a feature-length film from Studiocanal and is released into cinemas tomorrow.
Take a look at the trailer for a sneak peek of the film…
