Nicely Done But A Bit Slow

A woman has developed agoraphobia after she is attacked. She shares a home with her sister and nephew. When attempts to treat the phobia fail, she is taken to stay alone in an apartment while the owner is away. Hoping that the absence of others taking care of her will force her to do things for herself, she tries to settle in but strange things start happening. Her phobia has already left her with a crippled mental state but are the strange things really happening or is she losing her mind completely?

I wasn't expecting to like this as much as I did. I thought the story, acting and film quality were all decent. The problem that I have with it is the pace. This was a slow burner and while it helped in building the suspense, it could've moved along a bit faster and still been good.
