Perfectly adorable

Admirable film.

A Disappointing Continuation

I didn’t really have many expectations going into the movie (good or bad), but I actually really enjoyed it. I really liked the characters and the banter between them.

The film originally seemed interesting but by the finale I started thinking perhaps there was no point.I like when films don't feel they must spoon-feed the audience information about what's happening. People are generally reasonably smart and movies claiming to be smarter often end up insufferable.However this movie was different. It didn't shove information up the audience's nose, but as the credits rolled it seemed as though the movie existed simply to appear intelligent without actually being intelligent. I'm not sure even the people who wrote this knew/decided what the story was. I only know its nothing I'd watch again

From the description on the TV guide, this looked like it might be interesting. Unfortunately you cannot believe everything you read. The concept was quite good, however, the execution didn't match up by a long chalk. I'll explain what I mean later, but here's a brief summary first (summary haters and those that don't wish to know anything about the plot please help Jessica move in while I write the next paragraph).Jessica is moving into her first apartment in the big city (Los Angeles in this case). Driving through the streets she's full of optimism and looking forward to her new surroundings. Outside the building, the Dante, she meets Evan, an attractive young man who helps her with her stuff. The building manager, Ed, is a bit odd, but likable enough, although he's a bit particular about tenants going into his 'File Room'. Having moved in, Jessica is then visited by several of the other occupants, an odd bunch to say the least. They are all very insistent that she joins them for a roof-top party to celebrate the New Year. And then strange things begin to happen, Jessica begins to see the other residents murdered, one by one. Nobody seems concerned about this and so she goes to Evan to try and get some answers. I'll leave it there and I've probably made it sound a lot better than it really is.This film has the look and feel of a student short that got made into a feature. It all seems very amateurish, everything from the cinematography, to the sound, to the acting seems to have had little thought to it. Nobody on screen really deserves a mention, but I will name a few so you'll know who's responsible. If anything, John Bishop was the best performer as Ed, but he wasn't great, Ryan Doom (great name!) was adequate as Evan and Austin Highsmith was OK, I guess, as Jessica.I feel I've been a little generous with my score (below), but the concept behind this very poor film was actually quite good. The trouble is, little, or no, thought went into the execution. Maybe some of it could be blamed on budget restrictions, but I've seen much better than this made for a lot less. I think you can probably guess what comes next… definitely NOT recommended… You have been warned.My score: 4.1/10

SPOILERS INCLUDED - Not that there is any plot to spoil. I want the ninety minutes ish of my life that were completely wasted back now please. I also want whoever is responsible for this tripe to be strung up by their privates in public, so the poor unsuspecting audience can throw rotten fruit at them. I've seen some stinky movies in my time but this is in a whole different league, there should be some kind of award for a movie this terrible! Please someone tell me it was intended to be a joke as there was no way to understand the pathetic plot, dead bodies or reasons for random lesbian scenes etc etc etc. No conclusion or end to the film, no point from beginning, lots of pointless padding throughout and the only reason I gave this film a "1" is because there is sadly no option to select zero or minus figures on here. The only positive I can think of is that Austin Highsmith is "Fairly" nice to look at - That is literally it. Do not watch this rubbish under any circumstances, spend the time cutting your toe nails instead - Or maybe even watching paint dry.

I just finished watching this movie and have been looking all over trying to find a plot explanation from any sort of site, and I found one! As far as I can tell, its about a young woman who 'tried' to save her brother but didn't want to die herself, so she let him drown. Sad! I know.So, she moves on and moves out to 'The Dante', an apartment building with really weird people who have really bad boundary issues. They begin to stage their own death, and even get some fake cops in on the act. The protagonist falls for Evan, and the typical movie romance happens. Then, the real tragedy falls as she sets the building on fire. While she makes her hasty escape from a fiery death she knocks over a bookcase or something and it lands on Evan, pinning him. So she runs away and leaves him to die.The end! ... or is it?No. Not at all. Turns out this is try nine hundred thousand something and everyone else in The Dante knows she keeps killing them over and over. Kind of begs the questions, how 'bout denying her request to live there? Why stage their own death as a way to ward her off accidentally setting the place on fire? They're completely unrelated! Why not just tell her, 'Hey, careful with that pillow!'In some sort of strange way, her abandoning Evan is related to her abandoning her brother. However, that doesn't quite match up as each time she leaves him she's only known him for about eight hours. Not quite like the brother, but whatever. It kind of makes sense I guess.All in all, its pretty stupid. It'd be decent if its just on in the background while you're doing something else, but even thats still a bit iffy.
