Storyline

Expecting their first child, newlyweds, Ryan and Claire, can't wait to settle in their new home, even though their unkempt and monosyllabic new landlord, Gerald, is a downright creepy recluse who lives nearby. However, what the unsuspecting couple don't realise, is that the taciturn overseer has already rigged their new nest with undetectable cameras and a closed-circuit surveillance system to watch their every move. Inevitably, as the repulsive Gerald keeps himself glued to his monitors to watch his private Big Brother show, no secrets are safe--including those between the couple. Is there a way to expose the slumlord's obsession?

When Claire is removing the painter's tape from the wall in the nursery, there is no paint on the tape and in some spots the tape is not lined up with the edge of the wall, as it would be if they had really painted.

Quotes

Camera Guy Joe: Fibre optics. Now, it's a little bit more expensive, but in terms of home security, it's top of the line. 1080p, backup batteries, and they're practically invisible. There is nothing more off-putting than inviting some folks over to your place, they see one of these ancient, convenient store cameras, pointing directly at them as they're waiting out on your front porch. You know what I mean? Who wants that? No one. These little guys right here, they can be hidden almost anywhere. "Discretion" is...

Light On Horror/Heavy On Soap Opera

Wow! "Psycho" meets "The Guiding Light." Only this garbage is even less entertaining than that sounds. Hubby cheats on pregnant wifey, they argue a lot, other woman does the "Fatal Attraction" bit. Meanwhile, a repulsive psycho straight out of repulsive psycho central casting watches said couple(s) argue, shower and have sex(TV-14 level with some super-brief nudity) via elaborate, camera setup and there's this secret room and...oh, you can figure it out. I can't believe I just dropped over $9 (including tax) on this amateur hour waste of time/money (Amazon, for goodness sake!). Once again, I should have gone by the IMDb rating and saved my money and brain cells. Indie films are always hit or miss--this was a definite miss. Throw in high school drama club-level acting, terrible writing and editing that appears to have been done with a chainsaw...well, you have been warned. The super-icky poster art pretty much sums up the movie (a sweaty ogre munching on duct tape--for real?). If the premise interests you, watch the vastly-superior "Alone With Her" or "The Den." From now on, if I choose to watch bad, indie horror films, I'll stick with Netflix Streaming.
