Apartment 1303 - If the Hallmark Chanel did horror films...

Okay, about five minutes in I knew I was in trouble. The sets for a start - there was only two of them. It was like I was watching a theatre play that had been transferred to the big screen. There are only three primary actresses (not counting the man who looks like George Michael without a wrecked car around him) and they mainly just bicker.

The youngest daughter of the family moves into an apartment. It's blatantly haunted. So, instead of running for the hills at the first opportunity (like 99.9% of us would), she just wanders around talking to herself, getting more and more freaked out.

This might not be so bad if there were some decent scares, but everything is predictable and there are no special effects (or at least not ones that weren't completely laughable). The ghost feels like it was last spotted in The Ring and the whole thing is just a mess.

Rebecca De Mornay does her best to save the picture, but one half-decent performance can't make up for the rest of the dull, woeful attempt at a film. It's based on (yet another) Japanese horror film. I can only hope the original is better than Hollywood's version.

Its only real plus: it's quite short. Avoid.
