User Reviews
NightOwl1994 – 7/10
“I really dug the slow-burn paranoia in this one. The way Eric's world shrinks to just him and that upstairs noise is unsettling as hell. The wiretapping scenes gave me chills, and the ending left me staring at my ceiling. Definitely underrated.”
GoreHound2000 – 5/10
“Maybe I'm too used to modern horror, but this felt more like a thriller with a few creepy moments. The tension was there, but I wanted more scares. The acting was solid, especially from the lead, but it dragged in the middle. Still, worth a watch for the atmosphere.”
ScreamQueen_x – 8/10
“I loved how this movie made me feel uneasy without relying on jump scares. The way Eric's paranoia builds is terrifying because it feels so real. The phone calls and eavesdropping were so creepy. It's a slow burn, but if you're patient, it's a rewarding psychological ride.”
MidnightCinephile – 6/10
“As a fan of 90s horror, I appreciated the gritty vibe and the exploration of mental breakdown. But the plot could have been tighter. Some scenes felt repetitive. Still, the tension between Eric and the neighbor was palpable, and the final act had me on edge. Not bad, not great.”
