I was looking forward to seeing this based on the plot summary; and things were looking quite good when I started watching and saw that it was a decent quality production; but then the awkward, and at times just plain bad, acting was inflicted on me; and the lame sound effects, which failed at producing any kind of atmosphere; but worst of all was being forced to contemplate the plot, which is just a waste of time. Even with a low budget a haunted apartment movie can be a least somewhat effective, but this one just didn't show any skill. The best that can be said is that it overuses glimpses of figures barely in frame rather than jump scares.

Due to the low popularity of this movie I was expecting something amateurish and rushed, but the quality of the production is solid. The acting, sound, effects, and pacing are effective enough at creating a creepy atmosphere. The plot is nothing special, though: a housewife going crazy/possessed in her husband's absence with pretty standard plot elements, though her being a vlogger might resonate with the online generation. And unfortunately the director enjoys repeatedly teasing the audience with nudity rather than displaying it. It's like this horror is trying to avoid shocking. But the movie delivers enough to be worth watching.
