Summary: The 4th Floor (1999)
Review: Chilling tale about a woman who moves into an old apartment to live alone and finds that one of her new neighbours has a "small" grudge against her and begins tormenting her and eventually tries to kill her. Juliette Lewis does a nice job, and Shelley Duvall steals the show with her over-the-top performance as the apartment house owner, Martha Stewart. Unfortunately, this thriller wasn't as good as I had hoped, although it was quite entertaining and suspenseful. William Hurt's talent goes to waste here, but he does a decent job for what he's given. I liked this alot, but I wouldn't say it's excellent.

Summary: A Pleasant Trip Back to a Hitchcock Formula
Review: I was reminded repeatedly while watching this movie of Hitchcock's "Rear Window". I think both the directing and casting were superb...subtle but effective.

Juliette Lewis is an outstanding actress and deserves much credit for delivering a performance that made you forget that she was acting.

The movie has some great moments and not-so-obvious scenes - although I was able to figure out the ending pretty early on.
