When the death of her elderly neighbor prompts NYPD Homicide Detective Frank Giardello (Giovanni Ribisi) to launch an investigation, the agoraphobic Abigail is distressed to find him outside her door, questioning her.

On her 18th birthday, Abigail Clayton (Selma Blair) received a staggering inheritance from her late father and promptly sealed herself away from the world in her massive Manhattan loft apartment. Nearly two decades later, the only people Abigail interacts with are Klandermann the concierge, and Dr Raymond Fontaine a trusted family friend.

When the death of her elderly neighbour prompts Detective Frank Giardello to launch an investigation, Abigail finds her carefully constructed and isolated world begins to fall apart – even more so when a new couple, Charlie and Lillian move in to the empty apartment next door causing Abigail to confront her troubled past.

I have another giveaway for you, and this one falls into the category of the lesser known gems I try to keep from falling off the radar. Columbus Circle is a tense, off-beat effort that centers around a young, wealthy, recluse, and what happens when the outside world starts beating at her door.

You know we are nearing the end of October when the pace of horror DVD title releases starts slowing down.

The challenge of critiquing something like Bye Bye Monkey is that its storyline (if you can even call it that) is based in a logic so strange and unapproachable that there’s no way of telling what anyone else is going to get out of this movie. I know that I watched a movie, and can roughly recall the order in which events take place, but I am hard pressed to explain exactly how those things came together into what one would call a story. That’s not necessarily a fault, but it does make the experience difficult to relate.
