Watched on Shudder on a dark, rainy morning & can't thank Shudder enough for the 15 second fwd button. Lol. As others have mentioned, the pacing is slowwww, there are some scenes that just drag on too long with nothing going on. Most of it takes place on a zoom-type call (guessing this was filmed during the pandemic) and yes, Michael Shannon is in it, though not very much. Probably helps he's married in real life to the woman playing Kate. Its easy to criticize "the bad", I'll focus on some of the good here: The atmosphere in the dark apartment is downright creepy, I've lived in NYC & something about living alone, hearing loud noises and hard knocks on your door is pretty scary. The acting is also good. What DOES get a 9/10 vote is CoastalDive's creepy synth music, straight out of the 80s, LOVE IT! That said, I probably did this movie in an hour (thanks to previously mentioned 15 second fwd button) and it would've worked better
with a sharper screenplay and better pacing. Director Jennifer Reeder is known for short horror films, so I'll chalk it up to inexperience
making full length films.
