Hellion

Three young people head to a remote holiday apartment complex, left vacant during the off-season. They are Alice, her best friend Lizzy, and Lizzy's perverted boyfriend Carl. Things quickly take a turn for the worst, as the group gets trapped in one of the high-floor apartments, unable to escape. No one knows they are there. They have no way to contact the outside world. Food and water grow scarce. Desperation sinks in. Is this all just a series of unfortunate events, or is there something supernatural behind it?

Trivia
During a particularly intense scene Dan Paton agreed to be choked for real on set. He was given a penny and told to drop it if he was in danger. The first few takes were fine, but on the final one he couldn't breathe and the penny dropped. The crew panicked and rushed to his aid. He'd started to black out and was unaware of what had happened. The performance looked so convincing and horrific to watch that the take ended up being the final one in the film.

Goofs
The interior walls would be far less durable than the exterior ones. The group could have easily broke through into another unit and from there into a stairwell. That this never occurs to the protagonists seems to be rather odd.

SO DUMB! Please don't waste your time

Really not very good at all. It doesn't make sense, there's no continuity. Also pretty gross for no reason, the characters could have avoided the gross stuff easily but I guess that's part of trying to be scary. The only good thing were the actors performances, they looked really scared even though I wasn't. I feel like the makers of this movie were really trying to make a statement and do something artsy and it just really didn't work. This really was pretty awful, I definitely feel like I wasted my time and took away nothing from this movie.
