The Penthouse

A penthouse always sounds nice - as did the story for this. I'd say quite intriguing with mystery and all that. But the thriller that is about to unfold here is not worth your time - which can be summed up to a few things that are its downfall.

While I like some of the actors (those you may recognize too, like Michael Pare and Nicholas Torturo), they really are not able to save this ship from sinking (to make another one of my famous puns - well "famous" as some may feel these actors are. Those who know, know) ... slow pacing, predictable and really not worth your time. Don't waste yours because I already wasted mine.

No words can describe what a piece of poo this is.

This movie is one of the worst directed, worst written, and worst acted thriller I have seen in awhile. Just skip it and find anything else. The ending, if u can even call it that, makes no sense, basically the movie just stops.

I just don't get what was the whole point, it just sucks so hard that I can't believe this has been done intentionally - surely something went horribly wrong somewhere, there has to be some excuse for the lack of any intelligence.

I don't write many reviews but this movie was so bad in so many ways right from the first frame and opening credits that I had to chime in. Immediately the 1st thing you notice is that the footage running under the opening credits looks like washed out stock footage from the 80s. Sadly this isn't the case and whoever was manning the camera had no idea what he/she was doing. In fact, most of the movie looks this way. Soft picture, dull colors and uncontrolled lighting that seems way too harsh most of the time... From scene to scene the overall look is so inconsistent it just kept me from ever actually caring about the storyline. The acting was also entry level amateur, the cinematography boring and the bargain basement cast of washed up has-been D-movie actors just didn't help at all. This kind of movie may be for some but was just a wasted night for me. I'd call it an exercise in mediocrity except that would be an undeserved compliment.

Complete rip off of the plot of Alfred Hitchcock's "Rear Window". There is nothing redeemable about this dumpster fire of a movie. From terrible, unnatural acting by actors nobody has ever heard of, poorly written and delivered dialogue (at least half of which is pointless and unnecessary), music that doesn't fit in most of the movie, to the boring inconsistent cinematography and lighting. This cringe movie is sure to be a tums festival for everyone who has the misfortune of viewing it.

The cheesiest, worst acting I have ever seen. I want my 6 dollars back.
