This was a kinda good, albeit kind of predictable thriller about an apartment complex that's actually a cult.
It held my attention. The lead actress was pretty good. She had to make it believable that she had enough backbone to go through all of that and then stage an escape. She succeeded in this largely during the torture scenes. You could see the resolve. She came off as a real person and not a damsel in distress, nor a superwoman.
The story was not incredibly original. It's sort of Rosemary's Baby without the baby or the "Hail Satan" nonsense meets the Stepford Wives.
I'm giving it a 6. There's some good acting, and strong production value for a low budget film. Solid pacing and direction keep things moving enough that you can tolerate the unoriginal and wildly implausible plot.
