Absolutely awful pic (indie division). Shot alright, but the plot is incomprehensible... a couple moves into a new building where, after about an hour, it turns out, the building manager is killing people for some reason. Meanwhile, most of that first hour is incomprehensibly spent showing a completely different movie, a cheesy spoof of a '70s blaxploitation flick called "Coffy & Creame" that might as well have been titled "I Dreamed I Gave Tarantino A Hard-On", sometimes showing scenes from that more than once without every fleshing it out into an actual story, before suddenly for the last half hour returning to the unrelated present-day story, which suddenly turns into a jumbled sequence of scenes from an apparent torture flick. Scattered throughout are scenes of a man who was apparently cast for his ability to stare at the camera with a twisted expression on his face, staring at the camera with a twisted expression on his face, or walking down the hallway or street with an axe or a bat with a twisted expression on his face.
The whole thing is a mess. I'm not sure if there was even intended to be some kind of narrative here.
Earns its way into "Way too indie" for having, besides too many repetitive jump cuts, and wannabe-Tarantino section titles and afros, a fucking animated sequence for no reason.
The cinematagraphy is nice-ish, though. Way slicker production values than most trash films.
