1BR: The Apartment

1BR - ok I reckon it makes sense that it stands for 1 Bedroom. When it comes to revealing what the movie is about - I reckon it doesn't say much. The German title for the movie "The Appartment" may not be revealing that much either, but there is a subtitle that is quite on the "spoiler" side of things - that's why I won't mention what is being said there.

The poster here may be an indication too, but you know it is a thriller at least if you found your way to this page. I for one did only know that much. It becomes pretty clear what direction this will go ... and while it is mostly psychological horror there is some vivid physical horror and violence too. And there is an ending you may predict or see coming. Once you start something, it's not just as easy as ... switching something off. Interesting premise, nicely played out

With some genuinely disturbing parts. And just when you think it can't be much harder to watch, it gets harder to watch. It takes around 30 minutes to set up then the last hour a real rollercoaster ride with a fairly high squick factor. Overall a very satisfying horror/thriller.

The real horror here is going to open rental inspections in a nice area only to find heaps of others are interested in the flat too. And when you do find a place to live there's noises at night that compound the drudgery of day-to-day life. Very relatable stuff. But then the film deviates to a world of enforced anarcho-communism and some hardcore behaviorism is applied. A refreshing application of "torture porn" here and there, bundled into a movie with a story to tell that may not be a masterpiece, is still enjoyable.

Not a great movie by any stretch. But a clever commentary on the strict conformist society that we now reside in whether it intends to comment on that or not. I liked the twilight zone (60's) ending.

This has me interested from the get-go. I must admit I'm not usually a fan of these spooky bedroom type situations, but this is far from your bedroom goes bump in the night movie.

This could have been a little more intense, and in-depth, as far as story line goes, but the story that they have given you i think is well done, well acted and over all quite a good watch.

I wouldn't say this is a horror, at all, but it makes for a good thriller.
