Apt. 1B

About This Movie

Apt. 1B is a compact horror film that really plays with atmosphere. There’s this slow-burn tension that builds throughout its runtime, almost suffocating at points. The cinematography is tight, making the small apartment feel claustrophobic and unsettling. You can tell they relied on practical effects rather than CGI, which gives it this raw edge that adds to the creepiness. Performances are solid, particularly from the lead, who captures that sense of dread so well. It’s got themes of isolation and paranoia, and the pacing is deliberate, enhancing the feeling of impending doom. It stands out for its ability to create a palpable sense of fear without a lot of flash – more about what’s left unseen than what’s shown. Really intriguing stuff.
