Darkness in Tenement 45

What this film lacks in budget, it makes up for in story and style. Honestly, this movie is everything I want and expect in an indie horror film. It's unique, dramatic, engaging, and shockingly relatable despite its mid-century cold war setting. The performances from the two lead actresses were especially strong, and the combination of original scoring and period music set the tone brilliantly.

Set and lighting aside, this story was well told and well acted. The building tension, devolving situation, build to the truth, all berry well done. I enjoyed this movie.

This movie i poorly written and poorly acted. I was really hoping that this as one of those gems that have an amazing story that makes up for the terrible cinematography and the horrid acting but sadly, the story was very sub par. I wanted to like this but there is no redeeming qualities to this movie. watch it if you are bored and want something that will not excite your mind in any way.

I didn't like the ending. But this movie made one thing abundantly clear. NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED!

A film that requires a large amount of suspension of disbelief. The end was predictable - not too much of a problem for me, since the journey was an interesting one. It's a simple story and so much more could have been done with the characters, especially with regard to dialogue and conflict. I saw a lot of unfulfilled potential. Overall this is my kind of film, and in an objective sense, it is very well done for its budget. It produces emotion in its audience (for me, primarily the urge to blow Martha's face off) and that's always good. But as a study into human behaviour, it lacks any psychological accuracy or point - there was no real insight or meaning. My problem with the end wasn't that it was predictable, it was that they had to make it depressing as well. Still, 6/10.
