About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a darkly comic, apartment-bound thriller where greed turns neighbors into enemies, with escalating tension and absurdity; Not for you if you dislike tonal whiplash or bloody mayhem like The Bar.
Pros: dark humor and suspense; quirky neighbor ensemble; fast, chaotic energy | Cons: slow early stretch; tone shifts feel messy; some over-the-top moments
