Honestly, it felt like a bit of a strange experience. The story had a good idea behind it, but the execution didn't impress me much. The pacing was slow in some parts, which made the events drag on unnecessarily.

What I did enjoy was the overall atmosphere and the way they shot the scenes, especially the lighting and the style that kept a sense of mystery throughout. The acting was okay, but it didn't have the impact I was expecting.

Overall, the film has a few interesting moments, but it didn't fully grab my attention the whole time. It could have been better if they had cut down on the slow parts and focused more on the characters.

An average experience-I don't think I'd want to watch it again.

The film starts with a promising premise - a mysterious black wall trapping people inside their own apartment, creating a claustrophobic and tense atmosphere. Unfortunately, the story quickly loses momentum as the characters remain underdeveloped and fail to engage emotionally. The acting is flat and unconvincing, making it hard to care about their fate. Visually, the movie looks decent, with some well-composed shots and a fitting soundtrack, but these elements alone aren't enough to save it. The plot feels repetitive and drags in the middle, leaving the viewer frustrated rather than intrigued. Overall, it's an average thriller with interesting ideas that aren't fully realized. Not something I'd recommend or revisit.

I liked it. The premise is original, and if you can overlook the several gaps in the logic of the story, you'll have a pretty fine scifi thriller. There's a good pace, with some nice jump scares and some modest violence. The various residents are sufficiently different, with each their own background, so that you can care for them. The way the main characters gradually found out how to operate the walls was cleverly done, and together with a few plot twists, it kept me entertained till the end. Maybe that ending wasn't too convincing, but the CGI of it was visually pretty impressive. The acting was overall good, I especially liked Matthias Schweighöfer, with his sturdy kind of charm.

I liked this movie but it was not without problems. I thought the plot was intriguing enough as contained films are good, and its not to say this is bad it just needed something more. Tim and olivia live in an apartment complex, they are having troubles but they wake up one morning to see a strange black magnetic wall has fitted itself into the building and stopping them from leaving. The stakes could have been higher. There is much threat here and the wall could have been utilized more than the three points of horror we see from it. But still its acted well and the thrill are enough to keep it going.

I'm a bit surprised at the number of one-star reviews for this film. "Bad acting," "Dumb script," etc. I actually thought this was the time of storyline that Rod Serling would have written for a Twilight Zone episode and certainly intriguing enough to hold my attention throughout. The story centers on the husband and wife whose relationship is now in ruins. The other characters suffer from lack of development. I'm wondering if some viewers watched this film in the dubbed version -- where the English speaking dubbers are indeed bad and the translations awkward. I watched the subtitled version and I so no problems at all with the acting. Certainly the basic plot arc is not original -- it is similar to films like Saw, Escape Room, Cube and even Poseidon Adventure: characters must work together in order to escape and survive. But I found the film atmospheric and engaging. Granted the whole creation of the impenetrable wall and what has caused it is far fetched, but so what. There is also in interesting visual correlative throw in -- the fly. I wish there had been more visual moments like this, but just sit back and enjoy a "Twilight Zone" style story.
