Appartement 1303

Worst acting Worst directing Worst editing Worst *everything*

I watched because it starred (supporting role) Rebecca DeMorney (sp?). But I was really taken back by her AWFUL acting as well as the awful acting of every other actor in the movie. I was so embarrassed for her performance and wondered why she agreed to play this tacky, tacky part.

Had her acting career started with the caliber of this example, she would never have even met Tom Cruise. (Yes! THAT bad.)

I knew within 10 minutes that this movie was bad. We stopped watching, but I have a hard time leaving a movie unfinished and went back to see the rest of it. HOPING it might improve.

It didn't. Not . one . bit.

Another one of those "let's make a foreign movie into a Hollywood version", and yet again, as with so many other such attempts, it failed and was put to shame by the original.

Given the fact that the original Japanese "Apartment 1303" wasn't particularly much to write home about, then you would think that director Michael Taverna would have it nice and easy here to make it into a better remake. You would think so! But wow, this American version of "Apartment 1303" turned out to be even worse and more boring than the original Japanese version.

The storyline is essentially the same as in the Japanese version, a woman movies into an apartment that is haunted by something sinister because of a tragic event that took place in the self same apartment.

This American version of "Apartment 1303" was nowhere even remotely near being scary or spooky in the least bit. And it was a rather pointless and dull experience to sit through. I had initially hoped that Rebecca DeMornay would be able to lift up the movie even just a bit, but that proved not to be the case, as she wasn't given much to work with in this movie.

Some times it is better to not meddle with original versions of movies, and just leave them to what they initially were and are. I strongly suggest that you watch the Japanese version of "Apartment 1303" if you absolutely have to watch this story. However, be warned, you are not in for much of an improvement.

This movie sucks. Period. The characters are vapid and uninteresting and compete undeveloped. The attempt at scares are amateur at best. This felt like a vanity project funded by washed up actresses. Literally no redeeming qualities in this movie whatsoever.

It felt like the movie was had over by the time the first sister was done talking with herself and the movie tried to be scary.

Rebecca Demornay even sings. Sad, sad, sad.

Skip this movie. Or maybe make up a drinking game for it. Something like take a drink every time you realize what a terrible film this is- seriously. Lol

I can't imagine how desperate the Rebecca DeMornay and Mischa whatever her last name is must have been to sign on to do this movie - everything is wrong with it. Script, direction, sound, photography, plot -- literally every aspect of the movie stinks.

This movie is so terrible that it made me appreciate all the skill and talent that I had always taken for granted as a viewer, the things that add up to making a decent movie: sound, camera angles, lighting, music -- not to mention the obvious: acting ability and plot. This movie had none of it.

I love a good ghost story so we ordered it on demand without considering the possibility that it could be so unbearably bad we would actually decide to stop watching. I don't hesitate to cut my losses and stop watching a bad movie partway into it, but my partner rarely does -- her attitude is, how bad can it be? Yet, even she agreed that we couldn't watch it for a moment longer.

Who cares if the actors are gorgeous, as another reviewer felt compelled to point out twice. What on earth does that have to do with anything? I know a lot of gorgeous people - that doesn't mean I'd want to endure two hours of watching them in a terrible movie.

I have never posted a movie review before but felt compelled to do so, just to save someone else from making the same mistake. What a waste of time and money. THE WORST.

I just finished watching this film. There is absolutely no aspect of this film that I can praise. It's one of those films where you realize you are in trouble about five minutes in. The acting is wooden and not believable. The writing and direction are not at a professional level, to put it nicely. The plot is ridiculous and there are no scares whatsoever present in this movie.

By highlighting well known actresses, they are hoping to cash in on their names. However, don't be fooled by that. It is the worst film I've ever seen Rebecca DeMorney in and Mischa Barton is an embarrassment. When you watch a film like this, the inevitable question is "did they realize how bad the film is?". I cannot answer that question, but once a project is a go and the actors don't back out, I guess they just hope it will find a market. This film deserves no market, it is that bad!
