Secrets in the Building

About This Movie

Secrets in the Building is a tight little TV thriller that really leans into that claustrophobic atmosphere. You’ve got Michelle and Norah trying to escape the shadows of their past, but the condo they move into? It’s got its own secrets. The pacing is pretty steady, with moments that creep up on you, building tension without needing a lot of flash. The performances are solid, especially the way the mother-daughter dynamic plays out against this backdrop of dread. The practical effects, while not over-the-top, have a way of making the unsettling moments land harder. It’s the kind of film that makes you think about what goes on behind closed doors—literally and metaphorically.
