The movie reminded me a little of "Paranormal Activity" in that it has some hand held camera shots as well as using things like "DAY NINE." It reminded me of the classic "House" as there was a huge hole in the closet that apparently "things" were coming through.Danny Hill's grandmother dies in the opening scene. Danny (Van Hansis) becomes a squatter in her apartment on the advice of Joe, the Doorman (Thorsten Kaye) and Joe's lawyer friend. He wants the apartment for the same rent control price his grandmother had it. The landlord wants Danny out so he can rent the 3500 square foot, downtown NYC apartment for big bucks. Joe gets Danny everything he needs to stay there, unfortunately there are weird things going on in the apartment and Danny quickly develops cabin fever.The movie doesn't have a lot of characters and is practically a one man play. The movie plays you along to the end.F-bomb, brief night time sex, no nudity

This was a pretty good mystery/thriller. It was obviously low budget but it had a very strong story and an extremely strong cast. I didn't know what was truly happening until the absolute final scene. It was NOT predictable in the least. Go in with an open mind and you will enjoy this movie.

What we have here is a fairly routine "old dark house" movie, with all of tired clichés that just fill time but don't advance the plot, e.g., the shower scene with -- what, exactly -- rust? That's never quite clear.That said, I very much like the basic idea of this film. Van Hansis as Danny Hill is immediately likable. Steve Routman as lawyer Bertram Feinberg is also well-cast. But the cartoonish characters that fill out the rest of the cast suggest we're watching a dream sequence. Of course, that isn't the case.Where this film goes awry is with the whole paranormal angle. When writers get into the supernatural, all rules of logic are off and the audience always feels like the writer is cheating. To be fair, writer Jonathan Brett does try to insert some kind of subtle explanation about demons in text our hero is forced to read from the Bible, when there are no other entertainments available. We also do see the killer early on -- in silhouette in the doorway, when our blogger chick is panning around with her camera.I think this would have been much more satisfying to explore what a normal, 25-year-old guy would do when confined to an apartment for more than a week. What was the doorman's agenda? In the first scene, it appears he might have a sexual attraction for Danny, but that thread is never developed further. The blogger chick, clearly has some kind of hidden agenda, but that ball is dropped too. The landlord could have tried any number of interesting tricks to get him out of the apartment. There are lots of better possibilities than the paranormal here.The biggest plot hole is that Danny sees the killer on the blogger chick's camera at the mid-point of the film and does nothing about it. Here the writer cheats the audience out of the fun of figuring out the mystery (albeit a thin on in this particular plot).The suicide of the main character is a real letdown at the end. Audiences root for the violent death of someone who has been clearly established as evil earlier in the story; but here, we're still rooting for Danny to get this cheap NYC apartment right up to the end. We're left saying, "Really?" Too bad this script wasn't passed along to another writer or two for a fresh perspective and polish. It's a great concept for a low-budget film, but the audience is cheated out of a good time.

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?
