The performances transcend the film's tropes, grounding it in characters that feel more complete than this subgenre often produces.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

1. If anyone couldn't figure out, early on, just who the villain is in this story, I feel sorry for them.2. Set up - Victor (Jay Baruchel) moves into an old apartment building. He's the nice guy! Louise (Emily Hampshire) is a sweet girl with two nice cats, and she also lives in this old apartment building. Spencer (Scott Speedman) is a bit of a mysterious fellow as he is confined to a wheelchair and lives on the SECOND FLOOR in this old building that is without an elevator!!! Valérie Langlois (Anne-Marie Cadieux) also lives in this old apartment building and hates Louise's cats.3. From the opening of the movie the running background story is about a serial murderer on the loose in town. One day Louise's cats are found dead. Valerie finds this most funny! It doesn't take Louise to long to figure out who did her cats in, and she wants revenge.4. Louise comes up with a plan of revenge on Valerie and that is where the title of this movie comes into play. Victor and Spencer turn out to be good neighbors for her and her alone. Her plan of revenge works thanks to Victor and especially Spencer secret life.5. I enjoyed this flick!

It's October 1995 Montreal. There is a serial killer out on the loose. Victor (Jay Baruchel) is moving into a 4th floor walkup. His neighbours are cat lady Louise (Emily Hampshire) and wheelchair bound Spencer (Scott Speedman). Louise is working at a local Chinese restaurant where waitress Johanne (Kaniehtiio Horn) is killed one night in the streets. Victor walks Louise home from the restaurant every night. Spencer turns out to be able to walk and somebody poisons Louise's cat.Director Jacob Tierney is able to get an offbeat eerie vibe sort of like 'Shallow Grave' except nothing so cool and thrilling. It's a serial killer thriller that lives on its atmosphere for the most part. Baruchel is quirky cute. Hampshire is a quirky adoring cat lady. Speedman is good as Spencer hiding a secret. The three of them form a very compelling trio. The movie does need more tension. It would probably help to condense the timeline. It's good creepy throughout with an underlining low key dark humor.

The rating here is way off, because only 26 people have reviewed the movie! It was quirky, interesting, twisted, and well done! It keeps you guessing and nothing happens in a predictable way! I'm sure it has been said in other reviews, but it really reminded me of Shallow Grave by Danny Boyle! And boy did I LOVE Shallow Grave! Did I mention it had great performances too! All of these things make a great movie in my opinion! The writer/director Jacob Tierney is going places! I see a bright future for this guy! Right now the IMDb rating is a 5.7, but as more people see the movie, it's going way up! See it! You won't be disappointed!

***Spoiler alert*** What horrible SLOWWWWWW movie.... I seriously would've killed the cats in the 1st 10 min of this movie just so I wouldn't hear them whining in every scene of her apartment. Oh and you'd have to be pretty dumb not to guess who the killer is with in the 1st 10 min of the movie... SO mad I actually paid money to rent this piece of crap for $1.00 at Red Box.Seriously? I have to write 10 lines of text to review this thing? OK, I talked about turning off this movie 10 times in the first 1/2 hour because it was so boring and didn't seem to be going anywhere except for everyone I was watching it with wanting to drive to Canada, yank the crazy lady out of the apartment window and kill her ourselves.
