Oh hai Prince Charles Cinema website visitor… 

Tommy Wiseau's "masterpiece" The Room has been hailed as the biggest cult film since Rocky Horror. 

So bad it's good, it's drawn a cult following in the US with viewers acting out skits, storming out in disgust, and throwing plastic cutlery during screenings. However unlike other cult films such as Rocky Horror, or the Big Lebowski, these fans are drawn to how bad they regard the film to be! Come and see the birth of a cult with it's poor score, terrible acting and internet meme generating script.
