This is a suspense thriller that uses horror to raise the tension. It tells a tight story about a man who is being mysteriously tormented and must figure out who or what is tormenting him and threatens him in every room of a pared-down minimalist house. This is a low budget independent film but that does not take away from the great direction that raises the tension in most scenes as the lead character explores the house, figures out clues, and is threatened by unseen (and then, seen!) entities. The look of the film is really good too with great depth and composition to each shot. The creepy music adds to the build-up of tension. I would definitely recommend this film to others, especially film lovers who enjoy a sense of creep and dread like in The Shining or The Machinist.
