Door Lock

I had read reviews before actually watching the movie and someone mentioned, he couldn't stand all the suspense and just turned it off before the end. He was right, it doesn't let you rest your eyes for a second.

I also want to emphasize that the movie isn't exactly a remake of the Spanish movie - Sleep Tight. Yes, the way the intruder behaves is similar, yet the outcomes and the ways he acts is totally different. Though it may be easier to guess who the real killer is, if you have watched Sleep Tight recently.

What this movie to me achieved perfectly were the eerie, desolated cityscapes. Some really nice shots there. And as the other review pointed out: the insecurity of a female living alone there.

Agreed, that some of the actions by the lead character and supporting characters seemed illogical, but it wasn't too bad, compared to similar movies.

Makes me wanna buy 5 different locks.

A woman lives alone in a one room apartment. She wakes each morning with an awful headache and after a weird incident of someone beating on the apartment door and trying to come in she starts to believe that something very strange is going on.

This wasn't a bad film but it moved at a slow pace and some things just didn't make a lot of sense. There was a nice build up of tension at times yet it fell flat at others. There was a lack of detail in a few key areas and I never really reached a point where I felt invested in the characters.

To be fair, the subtitles I was using were in a broken english so there may have been things that were literally lost in translation. However, I don't think it would have been enough to have pushed them film to have had a much higher score from me.

So,my takeaway is that it isn't awful but it left something to be desired.

It is a psycho killer thriller. Story is simple one liner. A bank working woman get frightened by knocking door of his apartment by unknown man.. He is actually a psycho killer. And it is hard to guess who is killer. Good suspense thriller. However it does not keeping its tempo all time. Somewhere movie loses its grip and we can see repetitive incidents instead of revealing suspense. End is okay as it should be. Watchable at one for killer thriller.

Well not your ordinary key that is. I hadn't seen that sort of lock before, but I reckon they can work quite well. Not all the time and not in this movie of course. But then the characters don't always work in full capacity either, so there's that too of course.

If you don't mind certain flaws, the movie might be entertaining and thrilling enough for you. It depends on your own threshold and how much you are willing to forgive ...
