Living in Peril Trailers

The young architect Walter leaves his wife Linda to go to L.A. to draw a mansion for Harrison. On the highway a truck driver almost drives him off the road. Walter calls the truck-company to complain. The driver gets fired. When Walter arrives to the apartment-block where he has rented a flat he meets the choleric landlord William and the others living there. But now the problems starts. The next morning somebody has ruined his drawing and Harrison dislikes what Walter has drawn. But soon everything gets out of hand. Walter gets into more trouble - one morning he finds rats all over his apartment and the next day he finds his beautiful neighbor killed in his bed - and he starts to think that it is the fired truck driver who is out to get revenge.

What started out as a kind of who done it with Walter(Rob Lowe) getting a driver sacked for road rage eventually turns into pure farce. It never explained how his drawings ever got wet at the start. How would he not know the girl was murdered in the bed next to him, after all they only had one bottle of wine between them. With the killer exposed at the end what part did the ex-driver play in all this. Who put the rats in the apartment. Who broke the glass in the car door and if was innocent what was he doing in the apartment block towards the end of the film.The Apartment manager(Dean Stockwell) said he knew all the comings and goings of everyone in the apartments. He missed an awful lot of people

Poor Walter Woods (Rob Lowe) is having a horrible few days. He's almost run off the road by a truck driver. his hole in the wall apartment room has rats, his millionaire employer doesn't like his architect proposals, and there's a dead hooker in his bed among other things. Yup, Walter has seen better days, that's for sure. One of the writers, Patrik Ersgard, felt the need to act in the film as well and his character is pretty unbearable. But I guess he does fit in with the rest of the characters here, as the film practically reeks of awfulness. With the only tolerable one in the whole movie being Dean Stockwell, a man who should be above this kind of garbage.My Grade: D- Where I saw it: Showtime Extreme

I thought that the movie was well done and very suspenseful. Rob Lowe did a very good job in this movie, there was never a dull moment in this film. It is filled with twists and turns that kept me rivotted to my seat. I did not lose interest for one minute.

It has Rob Lowe, which is good, but unfortunately the movie was just bad. There was a lot of random yelling, the acting was somewhat wooden in places and way to campy in others, and while you were apparently supposed to care about the peril Rob was in, you just didn't. As Rob so eloquently yelled somewhere in one of his paranoid tirades, 'Rat p*ss'. Yeah, that about sums it up.
