Critics Consensus

1BR's occasionally ordinary storytelling is more than outweighed by tight direction, interesting ideas, and an effective blend of horror and thoughtful drama.

Becca James Chicago Reader 1BR's unique timeline paired with its palpable tension makes for a memorable addition to the horror-movies-about-cults catalog. Jun 4, 2020 Full Review Angie Han FilmWeek (LAist) 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. Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Simon Abrams RogerEbert.com 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. Rated: 3/4 Apr 24, 2020 Full Review Joseph Robinson Fish Jelly Films (YouTube) This is very efficient, effective filmmaking. Rated: 3/5 Dec 4, 2023 Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com A neat, punchy piece of suburban horror...Far-fetched, but well done. Perfect Halloween fare. Rated: 3/5 Oct 15, 2022 Full Review Jordy Sirkin Jordy Reviews It 1BR is quite an unassuming horror thriller that alludes to a possible home invasion story but divulges something much different.

Steve Z 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. Rated 2 out of 5 stars 08/21/25 Full Review Ricardo M 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. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 08/03/25 Full Review Rob M Really enjoyed it. Innovative concept and very well put together. Convincing psychological thriller and brilliant acting all round Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 05/25/25 Full Review Stoner J Fantastic low budget thriller, with an even more fantastic conspiracy ending. It’s a lot like the Invitation (2015) only better Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review Michelle S Animal Cruelty is NEVER okay. You can make a good horror movie without it, it's disgusting. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 04/02/25 Full Review David P It's not great, but it's still a fun watch. There's a lot of tension here. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/06/25 Full Review Read all reviews
