Stunde der Angst

I kept waiting for something that never happened. I missed the point or there was none. Watts was great and some plot twists were interesting but it didn't lead to anything, so this movie left me disappointed. There was so much to explore, such a shame it's all a big meh in the end.

Naomi Watts is a fabulous actress but this movie is pure dreck! It starts out slow and ends up with nothing being of interest. Weak lead character, complete waste of time!!

This film tells the story of a woman who locks herself in her home.

What I can tell you, the film is definitely not a thriller. There is no thrill or suspense. In fact, it is full of boredom. The story is not engaging, not captivating and not sensical. If she is so scared of the outside, I struggle to find it sensical that she keeps the windows wide open. The story doesn't go anywhere either. It is just really boring.

I can only applaud this movie for portraying the most believable picture of anxiety and mental issues. And I love how we get the picture painted of New York and the world outside June's apartment only by looking out of her window and the occasional news broadcast.

This is the kind of movie I really want to re-visit. But I don't look particularly forward to another go at this darkness.. Anyway.. By the end you really feel like you know this woman. Even though we have only had insinuations about her life before we meet her. Insinuations is in fact key in the telling of this story. This movie is in my opinion very well written, very well, directed and very well acted. As a result I was very pleasantly surprised.

This film has so much potential...it looks great...it sounds great...but it just goes nowhere. Every few minutes we're introduced to new and interesting characters, all with their own story to tell...but they all fizzle away to nothing.

This was like watching the first part of a 3-part movie...I WANT CLOSURE!
