Marco's (Nicholas Saenz) looking for a job, but his job search is not
exactly going stellar - and that's only in part due to his sloppiness.
Presently he's living on the money his pregnant girlfriend Dana (Brea
Grant) makes, but that's hardly enough to pay the rent. Thing is, being
more or less scooped up in his apartment all day does things to him - like
he finds post-its inside the apartment he suspects the landlord is leaving
everywhere while he sleeps, he thinks he receives texts on a decades-old
cellphone telling him Dana's baby isn't his, he thinks the mechanic (Dave
Buckman) fixing up a car in front of his window has it in for him, and
eventually he even sees him inside the apartment. And he finds the CV he
has sent out to numerous company is actually full of serious threats. On
the advice of Dana, Marco visits a psychotherapist (Adriana Guerra), but
the medication she prescribes seems to only increase his panic attacks in
both strength and frequency, and if he goes on like this it's only a
matter of time until he hurts Dana ... A very nice cabin fever
psychothriller that restricts itself to mainly one location, and even
without much spectacle remains interesting and engaging throughout, also
thanks to a very relatable central character, brought across in a likewise
performance, and the chemistry between him and Brea Grant remains
believably throughout. But it's really thanks to a cleverly structured
script that manages to not give away its ending early on that the film
works quite so well, making this one cool genre movie.
