The best part of this movie was when it ended. I can't believe we paid $5.99 to watch it. I want my money back.

A penthouse always sounds nice - as did the story for this. I'd say quite intriguing with mystery and all that. But the thriller that is about to unfold here is not worth your time - which can be summed up to a few things that are its downfall.

While I like some of the actors (those you may recognize too, like Michael Pare and Nicholas Torturo), they really are not able to save this ship from sinking (to make another one of my famous puns - well "famous" as some may feel these actors are. Those who know, know) ... slow pacing, predictable and really not worth your time. Don't waste yours because I already wasted mine.

I wouldn't normally be mad about losing $1.80, but I spent that at redbox to watch this garbage and I'm irritated. I've seen many horrible movies, but this is by far the absolute worst. It might have been better quality it was shot on a smartphone. The acting was so atrocious that I felt uncomfortable because I was so embarrassed for the cast.

No words can describe what a piece of poo this is.

This movie is one of the worst directed, worst written, and worst acted thriller I have seen in awhile. Just skip it and find anything else. The ending, if u can even call it that, makes no sense, basically the movie just stops.

I just don't get what was the whole point, it just sucks so hard that I can't believe this has been done intentionally - surely something went horribly wrong somewhere, there has to be some excuse for the lack of any intelligence.

This movie is an absolute pile of trash, terrible story, terrible acting, do yourself a favour and stay well clear of it, 90 minutes you will never get back.

You will appreciate other movies if you watch this movie. I wanted to stop watching but had a theory. If this movie continues to be so bad (acting, plot, cinematography etc.) then you will appreciate other movies more. The ones with a good story, plot twist, acting and directing. This is an award winning director supposedly but cannot find any awards?

Complete rip off of the plot of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window". There is nothing redeemable about this dumpster fire of a movie. From terrible, unnatural acting by actors nobody has ever heard of, poorly written and delivered dialogue (at least half of which is pointless and unnecessary), music that doesn't fit in most of the movie, to the boring inconsistent cinematography and lighting. This cringe movie is sure to be a tums festival for everyone who has the misfortune of viewing it.

I don't write many reviews but this movie was so bad in so many ways right from the first frame and opening credits that I had to chime in. Immediately the 1st thing you notice is that the footage running under the opening credits looks like washed out stock footage from the 80s. Sadly this isn't the case and whoever was manning the camera had no idea what he/she was doing. In fact, most of the movie looks this way. Soft picture, dull colors and uncontrolled lighting that seems way too harsh most of the time... From scene to scene the overall look is so inconsistent it just kept me from ever actually caring about the storyline. The acting was also entry level amateur, the cinematography boring and the bargain basement cast of washed up has-been D-movie actors just didn't help at all. This kind of movie may be for some but was just a wasted night for me. I'd call it an exercise in mediocrity except that would be an undeserved compliment.

I have nothing nice to say about this movie nor the actors, hopefully the next these socal actors play a role they will really put full effort into it...

The cheesiest, worst acting I have ever seen. I want my 6 dollars back.

Pare was great. Humphrey was great. Interesting plot and a beautiful local. The new actor, Dennis Curran, was also good. Keep a close watch on the credits and the apartment buying couples. Nice touch by the exec producers!

This feels quite amateur in places. Some of the acting is dodgy in places. It also takes a while to get going. I only kept watching it as my wife wanted to. I am glad I did as it is quite a good story in the end.

Sometimes it is good to watch something that is not a polished Hollywood blockbuster and a bit rough round the edges.

Not worth a watch. Unless you like wasting 90 minutes. Stupido !

For the love of everyone...do not watch this bad movie. The acting is horrible. The plot is horrible. It was put together so badly that I can't believe someone got away with filming then putting on screen. Save your time and don't spend any money on this horrible flick. It is movies like this that makes me want the time I wasted on it, back. You actually hope the characters get killed so there would be two idiots not walking the planet anymore. I understand there is desperation in taking roles like this but can you really look your self in the mirror and say this movie was worth it. It also makes detectives look completely incompetent and really stupid.

What is this movie about. Thought I would give it a go. But I have never seen so much trash, bad acting in all my life. Where did they get the cast from...Maybe the zoo.

Do yourself a favor and don't even think of watching it...............soooo bad in all ways.

It's rare to see such a bad movie. The storyline looks like a goofy variation of Rear Window, but it turns out to be a true story set in the penthouse and boat of the case. The dialogues, the situations and the actors are also very bad. To this is added an atrocious staging with absurd connections between the shots, a detestable photograph (the point blur for no reason) and the framing which move without reason and sometimes do not even respect the horizontality. To be avoided, without any interest.

This was the worst movie I I ever watched. I can't believe I actually sat through it. I feel violated, embarrassed and ashamed. Everything about this movie was off. The acting was off, the direction was off, the shots were off, the script was off, everything was just off. It felt like actors were reading the script off while seeing it for the first time. It was like a bad student project from a 6th grader. Just awful. I am no film critic, and don't usually write film reviews, but if I can save one person the humiliation of having to say they actually sat through this stinker, then my job is done.

This movie was SOOOOO bad! Horrible acting. Horrible directing. Horrible all the way around. I had to check twice to see if this was a old movie! Everything about it took me back to the 80's, ( which is not a good thing) Not even worth the .65 I paid to rent it. AND I wasted a good promotion.... NOT happy at all 😡

My boyfriend and I got a chance to get this movie from RedBox for a movie night. And this movie plot summary got me intrigued since I like psychological thriller. And this one was dragging. It has a story. But it is just dragging. Also cinematography looks like an amateur's work.

But hey! Don't get me wrong, the story is interesting. But not as interesting enough to not sleep on. Music scoring - very repetitive. Doesn't have much to feel the movie. It's so dry.

I'm sorry.

Would have had potential except for the awful acting. Shows how stupid the average person can be.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie, so suspenseful! Wonderful characters and storyline! The setting where it took place was gorgeous. I highly recommend.

Hitchcockian elements, questionable script at times, but good chemistry and a good vibe throughout. It had a good pace. Glad I watched it: wouldn't watch it again.

The trailer sells an interesting story line that the movie never delivers. From the opening scene to the final delivered line, this film is an absolute mess. Horrible dialogue portrayed w/zero believability supported by laughable over-acting. Sound equipment easily visible. Film quality that is less than a phone could deliver. Unrealistic features such as how the rich predecessor hung their 'expensive art' to the presence of sword behind the main character that was stolen and shouldn't have been there to the 'boxy' under-lament able to be clearly detected in the final dramatic scene. It's a train wreck that became more fun to watch to make fun of the idiocy than the movie itself. It's like it was a parody of a real movie except it was clear that these guys took it serious and though they knew they couldn't act, they weren't about to let that stop them.

A low budget doesn't necessarily mean it's not a movie. A bunch of over-actors trying to create suspense.
