Seriously. Get some friends together, drink some wine, put this one and have a snark fest.....that's about all it's good for. IMDb says I need 5 lines to post so I suppose I'll elaborate.....I really can't think of a decent thing to say about this craptacular movie so I'll make a party recommendation: nachos. Serve nachos. Nachos are good with wine and everyone loves them. There ya go.

My one and only true past time is to just sit and watch horror movies, and I have nearly never found one that I disliked or found that the acting was in poor taste. I even enjoyed the movie Smiley, which many others disliked. But this movie is a tragic fail, I don't know why I watched it to the end but it was awful, the actors were poor, it was not scary at all, the plot/storyline didn't make sense and was awful, an incredibly boring horror to be honest. Their was a lot of plot holes in this as well, for example; (WARNING:SPOLIERS) At the end when you find out that the small kid, Emily and the fat perverted old man who also live in the flats are also ghosts, it never explains how they die or why their deaths are not documented, it just makes no sense. Theirs random scenes in the movie, that do not need to be there, again (SPOLIERS) when the ghost is sat in the sink covered in blood, or when theirs a hanging body in a bag that may of supposedly been creating a bad smell? The movie just doesn't make sense and it simply poorly showed. The only reason its a 2 out of 10 and not a 1 is because they at least made it so you understood the storyline and why apartment 1303 is dangerous...(even though they showed that poorly too) I hate writing negative reviews on movies, but this one is a strong exception. I would not recommend watching this.

First of all I want to make a point about Rebecca De Mornay. I really like her and I think she is a great actress and I kinda feel sorry for her in relation to this movie, because all the scenes she is in are the only good scenes, but every other scene is crap, so she probably didn't know what she was signing up for. Luckily she still manages to deliver a solid performance, however that is where the good points end. Every other cast member is a bad actor, especially the actress who plays Janet (who appears to be the main character but randomly dies half an hour into the movie). Julianne Michelle, who plays Janet, has got to be one of the worst actresses ever and the scene where her character dies was one of my favourites; not because it was good but because I didn't have to listen to her utter another damn word. Anyway, on with the other bad things... the screenplay is absolutely stupid, the story is one of the most un-original i've ever heard (ooh, someone died in an apartment and now makes new residents commit suicide, where have I heard that before). The characters are uninteresting and one-dimensional (except for Rebecca De Mornay's), the CGI is awful, and there is so much of it , even when it's unnecessary e.g. the apartment building, the view from the balcony of 1303, the bath water (grrrrrr). I dread to think what the 3D version of this movie is like. This movie has no redeeming qualities. Finally, after watching this movie, I tried to think of things in it that allowed me to be glad about the fact that I watched it. All I could come up with was that I now know that Rebecca De Mornay can sing (and is great at it) and that she can still deliver a great performance when under the worst direction and working with the worst supporting cast/screenplay. (Do Not Watch This Movie)

Released in 3D, this US-Canadian production remakes a Japanese film of the same name and bores everyone to death in the process. Things start off promisingly, there's a fear of solitude theme pulsing away and parental strife is set in place, this could very well be an intelligent and scary picture. No such luck!The original Asian film itself is no great shakes to begin with, itself more content to trundle along a formulaic path shadowed by far greater J-Horror movies past, but it did have oodles of unnerving atmosphere. Michael Taverna's remake has zero atmosphere, leaving the characters floundering with a boorish screenplay and stock shocks that didn't even work in 3D anyway.One to avoid here, moronic characters doing sub-moronic things, with a story that reveals itself too early and goes nowhere fast. 2/10
