1BR's unique timeline paired with its palpable tension makes for a memorable addition to the horror-movies-about-cults catalog. Go to Full Review

It's an interesting idea, the execution is competent if not spectacular... And it made me really glad to live in an apartment complex where I know none of my neighbors. Go to Full Review

There's a light at the end of the tunnel for Sarah, and seeing her claw her way to it is often fun, albeit in a gasp-inducing sort of way. Go to Full Review

8/10
This is a somewhat unique movie as it’s a bit of a bait and switch and I fear that will hurt it on a streaming platform like Netflix where people can switch to watching The Office at a moment’s notice. Go to Full Review

Elmer J Oct 28 1BR delivers an effective dose of psychological horror, steadily building tension within its unsettling community setting. While the ending feels somewhat abrupt and could’ve offered a stronger payoff, the film’s atmosphere and pacing remain gripping throughout. Nicole Bloom gives a convincing performance that grounds the disturbing premise with realism. See more April S. @amjone5 Oct 23 Good for one watch. Dragged on too long. See more Steve Z Aug 21 Not the greatest. Took the "Cult" manual and then plucked every cult bullet point and put it in the movie (sleep deprivation, brainwashing, you name it). To wrap it all up, they absolutely stole the ending from a movie called The Invitation. So, not a lot of originality here. See more Ricardo M Aug 3 1BR it's about a woman who moves to LA to start a new life because her mother passed away and her father let her down. In pursuit of her dreams she is caught up in a deceitful plot to lure her into a place of madness that pushes her to her limits. When an old friend returns to see her, she reminds her who is in control of her life, and she soon recovers her life. There are twists and turns around every corner, sins, confessions, murder, lies, manipulation, deceit, redemption, and madness. This movie is original and the ending is not predictable. See more Rob M May 25 Really enjoyed it. Innovative concept and very well put together. Convincing psychological thriller and brilliant acting all round See more Stoner J @Stoner Apr 2 Fantastic low budget thriller, with an even more fantastic conspiracy ending. It’s a lot like the Invitation (2015) only better See more Read all reviews
