I have seen so many not original thrillers, or remakes, lately, that i even forgot how an original one looks like. Well The 4th Floor reminded me. Very interesting plot: a young woman (Juliette Lewis - fabulous as always) moves into a new building but becomes terrorised by one of the neighbours. The film manages to keep you watching and even to surprise you many times. It's tensed and exciting. Juliette is great, but William Hurt is still the bad actor as in many of his movies that i've seen recently.

I gave this movie only a 6 because of some reasons. Mainly because it's rather predictable. I've known halfway through the movie who's the bad guy. Well the bad guys. Then again, if i was the scriptwriter, i would've changed a few things here and there. It probably would've been better if the plot focused on the appartment on the 4th floor. Maybe with Juliette captive there for a longer time. And also a bigger accent on the psychological part would've been welcomed. Vote: 6 out of 10.
