Cordelia

The reveal of what the trauma was fell flat. That's due to poor writing and direction not because the incident. Then reveal of who the neighbor guy was and her reaction to finding out made me ask why was she ok with him before finding out he really really liked her.

This story makes no sense. In fact it really is not a story but rather a disconnected series of plot elements thrown together to ultimately leave it to the viewer to come up with some kind of explanation for it all. The viewer then must fail as there isn't one narrative I can think of to make sense of what is seen. I agree with others. It's too bad because it has it's good points. Good atmospherics and a capable cast. For the first 2/3 of the movie I was wondering what would happen and as it was pretty mysterious. The lead actress is capable and overall the movie is adequately creepy. But in the end, don't waste time on this. It will leave you feeling cheated.

Both are moody psychological thrillers but I have no idea how this has a lower rating. Shot well, good acting and the 1 star review is right, it does lose its way but there's absolutely no way this is a 1 star film.

I had hope that this film should have been one of those minor jewels that are made cheaply and intelligently.

However, as many other reviewers pointed out, everybody can make up a script without intrinsic logic and that leaves more questions than those that can answer.

In spite of the best effort of the cast, and some minor skill in the direction, the lack of a coherent storyline at the end rend it all useless.

It is broadly inspired by Polansky's Repulsion, but the switching between what could have been and wasn't will not work if there is not a baseline.

The 5 rating is generous and because of the acting efforts.

It successfully creates an eerie and suspenseful atmosphere, but the plot leaves too many unanswered questions.
