I had read reviews before actually watching the movie and someone mentioned, he couldn't stand all the suspense and just turned it off before the end. He was right, it doesn't let you rest your eyes for a second.

I also want to emphasize that the movie isn't exactly a remake of the Spanish movie - Sleep Tight. Yes, the way the intruder behaves is similar, yet the outcomes and the ways he acts is totally different. Though it may be easier to guess who the real killer is, if you have watched Sleep Tight recently.

What this movie to me achieved perfectly were the eerie, desolated cityscapes. Some really nice shots there. And as the other review pointed out: the insecurity of a female living alone there.

Agreed, that some of the actions by the lead character and supporting characters seemed illogical, but it wasn't too bad, compared to similar movies.

Makes me wanna buy 5 different locks.

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.

I loved all those thrilling moments in this film, but that alone doesn't make this a good film.
