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.

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.

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.

When I started watching this movie,I really didn't have any idea that it is the remake or copied spanish movie. Different between them is in spanish version there is no violence shown but in this it has some.

Truly speaking it wasn't good at all. Maybe it's beacuse I had seen the original one, so I didn't like this one that much.

The few negative comments about the female characters' intelligence states that she was too slow and wasted opportunities but from the beginning, she has been portrayed as paranoid, a bit of a pushover and way too shy and introvert so despite that, she showed many instances of smart decisions and yet some people still call her dumb.

Being scared is like getting drunk, you never know how someone's going to react, some get all pumped up, some just lie down and some start crying!

I liked the movie, it's was pretty good!
