Darkroom is a dedicated team of industry folks who - like celluloid archaeologists - discover then share memorable titles throughout the scope of cinema. We are not supported by large investors, big wigs (maybe Big Wig in spirit), studio suits, or the like, but rather a small, scrappy bunch of movie lovers who wanted to build a platform which provides memorable stories, crafty filmmaking, and visual splendor to those seeking entertainment. It’s like in Detroit Rock City, when Christine (Natasha Lyon) - a disco loving hitchhiker - says to Trip “Good tunes is good tunes.” At the end of the day, it doesn’t matter the genre, the setting, the time period…good films is good films. It’s finding them that’s the hard part.
And we’d like to make that a little easier. As the endless waves of new media come crashing in, having the right tools is key; tools to help find, amidst the torrential storm of choices, choice selections. Perhaps offering a guiding hand, but never taking the steering wheel. We want you to be your own algorithm. Laugh, cry, scream…just feel something authentic in the paradox of make believe.
UPDATED - It works! No Longer Just a Timeout Error
Mr Blechfast
Thank you for the app update from late April 2025! The app now works and isn’t just a timeout error. It’s a good selection of hard-to-find movies, and after watching a few short things in the background while I multitasker, I can’t wait to dive into a few foreign films I’ve been looking for for months. Thanks! I can’t wait to tell people IRL about Darkroom!
Good app with good options, a bit weird with what they offer tho

I like the app and all but there’s some antivax stuff on here so not really sure what the message is but yea
Would be good … if it worked

It has a lot of variety. I like it … when it works. I had a hard time making an account in the first place. Had to email support. After having it for a few months, now it straight up doesn’t work. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just one or two guys who run Darkroom.
Developer Response
Thanks for the feedback. We’ve made some updates—please check Darkroom now and let us know if you’re still experiencing the same issues.
Doesn’t work
Juno Campbell
Can’t even make an account. When creating an account it says “Sending verification email” and it never comes. I’ve tried multiple emails with different hosts, as well as checking spam folders, also tried creating through different browsers, including their own app. It will not create an account.
