This is an enjoyable, if low-budget, thriller. It should be watched by every aspiring filmmaker, because it demonstrates how to create interesting characters, tension, and how to direct scenes for maximum effect, using music appropriately, to create a tense, thrilling narrative--on a very low budget. The story is about a man who buys a house as a surprise for him and his wife, after he lands a job transfer to Florida. The couple have had some past trauma, and so the entire "going to a new house to start over" plot is fairly standard. However, weird things start happening in the house, esp. To the wife, who's there all day as the husband is out working. The pacing and climax are pretty perfect. Due to the "essentials only" direction, along with decent dialog and credible scenes, the movie winds up being quite an original story. There were a few minor quibbles that reveal the low budget (such as not showing the movers, the truck, or the cop car), but they were very minor. The acting by the two protagonists was quite good and credible, as was the nice neighbor lady. The music was a bit too intrusive about two times, but that's it. Pleasantly surprised by this low-budget indie thriller!
