In my opinion I found the move to be quite bearable. This quality of the movie wasn't bad and I found the acting at times to be embarrassing or choppy but nothing too bad to handle. This is the kind of movie where if you know what your getting into it's not bad at all. I would compare it to an Adam Sandler movie. If you walk into a Adam Sandler movie expecting it to be intellectual and thought provoking, then your watching the wrong movie. I came into this movie with low expectations and I found it to be a decent thriller that had you at some parts on the edge of your seat. I found the character of the old man to be funny with his murderous and dead faced looks to be amusing and unique. This movie is very similar to " The Good Neighbor " if you have ever seen that movie. The premise of these two movies are almost identical. The cons of the movie is the acting and the plot line are much to be desired and the ending is god awful but if you want a way to pass an hour and a half and you enjoy corny thrillers, than this is the movie for you.

The landlord is the grossest human being I've ever seen like I actually wanted to vomit the entire movie. If you get past his nasty teeth and creepy face you will realize that everything that happens is low key the husband's fault. He is the second antagonist, and the third antagonist is the TINY master bathroom in the house. There is like 10 shower scenes and they are all in the smallest bathroom where the camera man probably could barely fit. Also, how did this landlord that limps around get everywhere so fast randomly and how did he fix up that entire house on his own??? The true protagonist is the poor dog that's getting fat from all the burgers that guy keeps feeding him, like seriously chill with the burgers. I swear all of the gross guy's income is going straight to that burger place. Don't watch, it has a really bad ending that isn't worth the feeling of wanting to projectile vomit from looking at the landlord and the burning hatred you will feel towards the husband the whole time.

60/100This movie has a lot of common Horror tropes and has some foreshadowing that makes a movie a bit predictable, but other than that I don't really have any complaints. The movie was a fun, unnerving, creepy ride. From the lead character and his brazen infidelity & wondering when it was going to catch up to him, to the basement being sound proofed just waiting for the right time to attack it kept me on the edge of my seat.

The creepy landlord, pictured on the cover art for "13 Cameras," (aka "Slumlord" awful alt. title) has to be among the creepiest, realistic horror characters I've seen in a long time. The performance is minimal, yet highly effective. I don't want to play this up too much, but he creeped me out like Hannibal Lecter in "Silence of the Lambs." At times, he also reminded me of Jame 'Buffalo Bill' Gumb in SOTL. Plus, his head looks like it's full of puss and ready to explode. He's disgusting. And, he's not the only despicable character in this movie. Within minutes, I was hopping that the husband's head would explode before the movie's end.Newlyweds, expecting their first child, move into a new home, in which the creepy landlord has just installed 13 surveillance cameras, which he uses as his private Porn Hub and more. Also, a-hole husband is having an affair, which is rapidly becoming another ticking time bomb. How are these combustibles going to destroy these lives? Watch and see.All of the performances are very good and quite effective. So is the direction, and the over all production. So, why the one star reviews? I don't have a clue. Maybe they were expecting a primal gorgy. It is definitely not that. It is violent, but not very bloody. Or maybe they were expecting something as sophisticated as "Silence of the Lambs." Who knows. But this is not a 1 star movie.The build up is slow yet deliberate, so this isn't a movie for any one expecting a violent action fest. The couple's drama and the violence are nicely integrated. The general direction that the story takes is fairly predictable, however it remains compelling throughout. Some may guess the end, thought I'm certain that most will not. I want to give a hint, but I will restrain myself. Watch it for yourself. If you enjoy good quality, low budget drama/thriller/horror, I think this will satisfy. I'm giving it 7 stars out of 10, although if I was rating it based on the low budget thriller/horror sub genre, I'd probably give it 10 stars for surprising me so much.
