    A great film about a Single Women moving in to a too good to be true Apartment, and it is. Will keep you on the edge of your seat. A great film to watch at that Apartment warming party.

    Good suspense film, nice twist albeit a little predictable. Great performance by Juliette Lewis, plus she's sexy.

    I really enjoyed this! It's a great white knuckle movie. Pretty good plot, good twists, scary people. It's mix of Rear Window and other classics. Just good stuff. I liked it a lot.

    are you willing to do whatever it takes? seems some are. i was surprised that i hadn?t heard of this movie before. it has a great cast. but i guess the reason is because it wasn?t very good. they expect you to make great leaps of imagination, when really the tie-ins don?t ma... read moreke any sense.

It hasn't been too long since William Hurt won his Oscar, yet here he is playing boyfriend to another recent nominee, Juliette Lewis, in a schlocky direct-to-video thriller. Full Review
