Great film! How did this one not get noticed.

Juliette Lewis has another very impressive performance in this terrifying psychological thriller. She plays the part of an cool-headed but fiesty woman who will not back down from the person who lives on the floor below her. Her performance was so completely believable. I felt in watching this movie that it was reality and not just a movie. I don't think many actors have the ability that she does to be so convincing in a role. The movie had so much reality with me and will with others because of the story. I'm sure almost everyone at some point has had some neighbor who was a bit strange and hostile. This is a must see film as you will see Juliette Lewis at her best and a story that will remain with you way after it's over. I really don't know how this one flew underneath the radar.
