I had hope that this film should have been one of those minor jewels that are made cheaply and intelligently.
However, as many other reviewers pointed out, everybody can make up a script without intrinsic logic and that leaves more questions than those that can answer.
In spite of the best effort of the cast, and some minor skill in the direction, the lack of a coherent storyline at the end rend it all useless.
It is broadly inspired by Polansky's Repulsion, but the switching between what could have been and wasn't will not work if there is not a baseline.
The 5 rating is generous and because of the acting efforts.

Better Than The Woman In The Window
Both are moody psychological thrillers but I have no idea how this has a lower rating. Shot well, good acting and the 1 star review is right, it does lose its way but there's absolutely no way this is a 1 star film.
Good Start...
..but that could not be maintained and the ending to me was unsatisfactory
Did though like the atmospheric performance by Antonia Campbell Hughes, who always had you interested in her.
