Deadbolt

Alright indie thriller. Young woman escaping a bad relationship moves into a supposedly haunted house in a bad neighborhood with an overly clingy roommate, and things get weird.

Could have been terrible, but a couple of above-average performances put it just a touch above complete mediocrity. Canadian, not so Canadian (in the usual good way) that I’d have guessed, but it does make sense. Kind of succeeds by not overreaching for more than it can accomplish.

Sometimes you have to admire something just for managing not to be bad, which this does manage. Better writing would have helped even more.
