As a female, i definitely understood the scenes where the lead feels helpless when it comes to protecting themselves from intruders. However, her helplessness throughout the first half of the movie reminds me too much of many of her previous works. What i was baffled is that she was always bringing unnecessary trouble to herself for being so clueless. Took her quite awhile to realize and take quick action, it was kinda late when the man got to her.

The scenes where she struggled out of her captive building was really thrilling not gonna lie. It still remained clear in my mind because i really thought that was the end of her life.

This movie is apparently a remake of Sleep Tight. Except, Sleep Tight actually had a very interesting, multi-layered plot, with some great actors, and an excellent ending. This remake, Door Lock, is just meh.

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 ...

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.
