Plot

Juliet, a beautiful doctor, has found the perfect New York apartment to start a new life after separating from her husband. It's got spacious rooms, a spectacular view, and a handy, handsome landlord.

Sinekatalog’s take

A newly single doctor lands a perfect Manhattan apartment and a charming landlord, and the thriller gradually shows why that is too good to be true. Predictable and thin, it is held together by a creepy premise. Tolerable for fans of undemanding stalker thrillers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
