chroberts-1 Seriously. Get some friends together, drink some wine, put this one and have a snark fest.....that's about all it's good for. IMDb says I need 5 lines to post so I suppose I'll elaborate.....I really can't think of a decent thing to say about this craptacular movie so I'll make a party recommendation: nachos. Serve nachos. Nachos are good with wine and everyone loves them. There ya go.

hannahkatie-02987 ....don't watch this movie. Find another because this is the most awful movie ever. There is not much information about the characters or the back story. No explanation about Emily or the creepy building superintendent. Why does he keep asking about an arrangement? No other neighbours but those two. It's weak, annoying and just plain horrible. The mom is weird, and the Lara character is so dumb, like how many warnings does she want before she actually pay attention to any of them? And who would want to stay on the place that's creepy and where your sister died?? or killed herself.I think after not taking the warnings seriously, she deserved what she got! Even the detective that is investigating is kinda strange. All of them are. What a waste.

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.

Michael O'Keefe Michael Taverna writes and directs this poor imitation of a decent Japanese horror flick released a couple of years ago. A tale of horror and terror spawned by a dreadful relationship between two sisters and their mother. Janet Slate(Julianne Michelle)must get away from her mother, Maddie(Rebecca De Mornay), an aging singer living of memories of her past success. Janet signs a lease on a 13th floor apartment only to realize a creepy feeling about her new place. She will exit life by way of the 13th floor balcony window. Sister Lara(Mischa Barton)will temporarily stay in apartment 1303 trying to prove her sister did not just step out of a window without some help.Creepy and suspenseful, but just not enough to sustain what could have been an eerie film. De Mornay fits her role of the aging singer; but she can't carry a tune with a slop bucket. Corey Sevier plays an undercover cop. Special effects were tame and welcomes the thought...how did this get an R rating. Apartments don't kill people; people kill people.
