Diagonaldi Very well executed
Micransix Crappy film
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Kayden This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama
MissCookieMonstaaa I will start without spoiling anything and speak in general. I just finished watching this and I'm not exactly sure how I feel about it. I do think it had so much potential but didn't quite execute it all right. I agree with many of the previous reviews. I completely understand why its getting mixed and mostly negative reviews. I would only suggest this to someone who has time to kill and likes this particular type of movie. I mean the kind that keeps you guessing but doesn't really explain much so you're left guessing. I personally found myself getting kind of bored in the last thirty minutes and I was wondering what is going to happen. I was just waiting for something to happen already... and not much happened. At the same time, I personally thought it had some good things about it as well. Such as the apartment itself, I thought it was beautiful and at the same time so easily eery all on its own. There were one or two moments that were really interesting, not necessarily scary. I think you'll either like it or hate it, depending on what you like in a movie its worth a try. My main problem and thing I want to point out is it leaves you with one too many questions. There are some specific things I wanted to point out that I liked and disliked about this movie. Maybe it will give others another perspective if they, like me, came here after watching it to get a better understanding and/or see what other people thought.*SPOILERS BELOW, STOP READING NOW IF YOU DON'T WANT SPOILERS*It had its good moments (to me). For example the mirror scene... what was that about. The silhouette before blog girl died, I didn't think it looked like our main character so it did freak me out for a minute... things like that. I just think it wasn't all bad. I didn't care for what happened to the cat (exterminator spraying it, then baked). I don't understand the hole in the wall. I don't understand the door man's MO... and a lot more I just didn't understand.I guess I'll end this review with my personal interpretation of this whole ting. For some reason being in that big apartment for so many days caused him to lose it. Maybe it was the pressure of losing the place. Maybe he was already to some degree crazy. Maybe it was a mixture of things that built up to our disappointing end with an impractical suicide. At the end we see the little boy watching the full clip from blog girls camera. We know that Danny also watched this, so maybe he couldn't come to terms with seeing himself kill her and then hide it. I thought maybe that's why the camera is found on the floor later, kind of smashed up. I still don't understand the hole in the wall, or if it was just a natural heart attack causing the grandmothers death, but I'm getting that this was mostly his insanity. Maybe the stapled wallpaper over the wall was ripped because he threw blog girl down there after killing her. Maybe later he tried to stuff exterminator guy down there but he wouldn't fit or was too heavy.I understand in this insanity (by his words) he rationalized by saying cops and such would come to the apartment if they knew about the exterminator dying. Then he worried about being kicked out of there so he felt he had to hide it. Maybe seeing his cat in the oven really pushed him off the edge. At first I thought he put the door up as a trap as he did with all of the wire and crap. Then he looks around and remembers what was and decides to kill himself. So I'm just not sure... as I said it leaves you with too many questions.
mattie-jade I liked this, except for the fact that he painted like half his wall, then stopped. Like, who does that?? If you are looking for a scary movie in a hurry, this probably wouldn't be it. This movie wasn't really all the scary, and actually quite confusing. Many parts were left open with no explanation. This movie is quite random too. Different scenes just happen, without being led up to. I didn't like it too much. I wish it had more depth to it, like they didn't put much effort into making it detailed. There were also no on screen killings, people would just be found dead. The acting was okay, actually, for such a B movie. The main character sometimes over acted, but that's fine. Overall, I give this a 6/10 for creepiness
bsw03 With the exception of the mirror scene this film is absolutely awful. The tension was manufactured and lead to nothing. Conflict in the movie? It never advanced anything and I grew bored of it. This film was disappointing, boring and went nowhere.While I was slightly sad at the end for Danny, I had not interest in him as a main character. I was most concerned about the pet. How is it that movies like this are made? This movie passes off odd and weird as psychological and it is hardly a thriller. If I could give this movie a zero I would. I wish I had not wasted my time on this film. Please save yourself the trouble and time and pass this movie over.
spiiidey-1 OK, I'm gonna write this short: This movie has some really nice shots, in the beginning it creates an interesting, little weird story, the acting is pretty nice ... BUT there are so many plot holes, so many stuff that happens without any reason, just for the effect and there's no horror at all. This movie is just a concept ... looks like they ran out of money and had to end it somehow. This is sad, because it really had a decent start and could have been a remarkable film. This way there is no comparison to any Polanski movie.Usually it's nice to watch a movie and in the end be left with a few questions to talk about and to discuss ... but here it's just too much. Why all this?
