RyothChatty ridiculous rating

Afouotos Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Huievest Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Leofwine_draca APARTMENT 1303 is another pointless American remake of a Japanese horror flick of the same name. It was originally shown in 3D although I saw the 2D version and I didn't seem to be missing much. I wasn't a particular fan of the original film but this is far, far worse, a cheap imitator at best and an extremely boring film at worst. The story sees a couple of bland characters moving into a haunted apartment and finding themselves menaced by the usual spirit brought to life by cheap and cheesy CGI. The story manages to waste Rebecca De Mornay who only appears in a couple of scenes, while Mischa Barton - who is a peripheral character to the story - gets way too much screen time with her bland character. This isn't even bad enough to be funny, just dull.

jackbradwilson First of all I want to make a point about Rebecca De Mornay. I really like her and I think she is a great actress and I kinda feel sorry for her in relation to this movie, because all the scenes she is in are the only good scenes, but every other scene is crap, so she probably didn't know what she was signing up for. Luckily she still manages to deliver a solid performance, however that is where the good points end. Every other cast member is a bad actor, especially the actress who plays Janet (who appears to be the main character but randomly dies half an hour into the movie). Julianne Michelle, who plays Janet, has got to be one of the worst actresses ever and the scene where her character dies was one of my favourites; not because it was good but because I didn't have to listen to her utter another damn word. Anyway, on with the other bad things... the screenplay is absolutely stupid, the story is one of the most un-original i've ever heard (ooh, someone died in an apartment and now makes new residents commit suicide, where have I heard that before). The characters are uninteresting and one-dimensional (except for Rebecca De Mornay's), the CGI is awful, and there is so much of it , even when it's unnecessary e.g. the apartment building, the view from the balcony of 1303, the bath water (grrrrrr). I dread to think what the 3D version of this movie is like. This movie has no redeeming qualities. Finally, after watching this movie, I tried to think of things in it that allowed me to be glad about the fact that I watched it. All I could come up with was that I now know that Rebecca De Mornay can sing (and is great at it) and that she can still deliver a great performance when under the worst direction and working with the worst supporting cast/screenplay. (Do Not Watch This Movie)

nickbroombaugh The only way this movie could have entertained me any less, would have been to remove the actors completely and film the empty apartment. This would have, at least, fixed the terrible script and awkward, unconvincing character interactions. I would literally have rather watched Rebecca De Mornay get drunk and play the guitar for an hour and a half. The acting was terrible, aside from De Mornay, but even she hardly gave a star-worthy performance thanks to awful dialogue and poor direction. The boyfriend, apparently played by Colin Ferrel's stunt double, seemed bored and lethargic, while his girlfriend, played by Julianne Michelle, seemed more than content to make up for his lack of emotion. Overacting is an understatement. Mischa Barton, on the other hand seemed to labor through each scene, struggling to make her lines work and her character appear deeper than the script allowed.Two stars is generous, afforded by decent CGI effects, though even those were unoriginal, borrowed and slightly improved from twentieth century horror films that, sadly, did a better job of it fifteen years ago. The plot was facile and underdeveloped, the characters hollow and dull and the overall experience was similar to watching a high school drama class practice their roles in a gymnasium.

VideoMonkey Seriously. This movie is pretty bad in exactly to the same way 'The Room' was, which in the case of 'The Room' made it entertaining. Of course, could I make it through 'The Room' without the Rifftrax? I doubt it. Did I make it through 'Apartment 1303'? Yes I did, but not without making up some Riffing of my own. Will I watch it again like I have done with 'The Room'? Maybe because I think I might have missed a couple things while we were discussing the plot holes but I'm dubious. Still, this is definite fodder for those of you who like to riff and make fun of movies. I gave it 5 rating because I am one of those people and this movie scores a 10 in that department so I averaged that 10 with what this movie would normally be rated by myself as a serious horror film, and rounded down. You do the math.
