A young woman moves into a seemingly perfect one-bedroom in a friendly Los Angeles apartment complex, complete with group hangouts and helpful neighbors. But strange nighttime noises, a missing pet, and an unsettling sense of control make it clear the community’s warmth comes with strings attached—and the building may have chosen her for a reason.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a tense, unsettling “too-friendly community” thriller with psychological pressure and bursts of shock, similar in vibe to The Sacrament or Wind Chill; Not for you if animal harm or bleak, distressing scenarios are dealbreakers.
Pros: creepy modern-day setting; steady tension and dread; strong central performance | Cons: occasional mid-movie drag; familiar horror beats; disturbing animal harm
