Rating: R
Running Time: 98 minutes
Our Score: 2 out of 5 stars
This film is a simple low budget serial killer “thriller” (used lightly) but with a decent cast. The film gives too much away too early and doesn’t really deliver in the end. The cast is made up of two well known actors Scott Speedman and Jay Baruchel. Scott Speedman is simply eerie in the film and Jay Baruchel is well…Jay Baruchel. The girl in the film is a Canadian actress not to well known here in the states, Emily Hampshire.
The story revolves of group of people who live in the same apartment building in Montreal. Looming in the background of the story there is a serial killer on the loose. Is it someone in the apartment complex? The trio find themselves questioning each other in hopes to find the killer until other things get out of hand. Overall the film doesn’t have enough thrill to be considered a thriller and falls more into dark comedy.
Overall I found myself having a hard time caring about the characters. The story was pretty thin and there really wasn’t much back story to add some content to the story. Which is a shame because this could have been a good film.
