If i hadn't had known it was based on a french novel, i would have sworn it was a japanese remake. I reckon it would have been better if it had been a french language film with engish subtitles.

Mischa barton wasn't bad, but the script wouldn't have been right for anyone honestly?

SHOPPING IN NEW YORK?!?!?!? How very dare she.... it's not like she was busy!!

Anyyyyyways.... It was a great concept but poorly executed and yeah she was alright but Eliza Dushku got her boobies out in Alphabet Killer, and we only get a shoulder up view for the bath scene? that girl needs to be slapped silly :lol:

Nah it was interesting enough but just didn't flow... woulda been nice to have told the story of the architect and his murderous ways before telling the story of Mischa's charcater being sucked into the insanity of the building... RAR!!!

Did absolutely nothing for me, I don't like to walk out of a film but it came close. If it wasn't for having to get past people then I think I would have gone

OK idea for a film but the main 2 actors were fairly piss poor. some of the acting was really wooden. one of my main points of annoyance with this was that they used mischa barton's tits as a plot device twice but we don't see them either time(the bath scene with cameron peeping and the bit where she flashed cameron near the end)! if she wasn't willing to show them take that out of the script.

decent idea just not really done too well. did enjoy the mental architect but he was one of the few bright points.

film wouldn't rise above alright and i doubt i'll be watching it again.

First act was terrible then it went all French style when she went down the well and saved it. Ended up much better than I thought.

Absolute shit.

Thye had some nice ideas in the script too with the building /architect stuff but it was utter bilge. That actress was absolute crap.
Thanks for the ride, sir.

I quite liked it at the time, but it didn't really stay with me. The building was cool, though.

This did start off with such promise from the first scene and also had the setting. Then almost immediately fell apart. No suspense, No tension and no jumps from me!

A array of weird characters and none were used to any real effect. I rather like the look of the building looked quite foreboding. A bit like like Kingdom Hospital minus the scares.

I do smirk when quite a young girl says" I demolition expert" and which always reminds me of Denise Richards saying "I am a nuclear scientist" from one of the Bond films.

I enjoyed this a lot more than I thought I would. I also felt a little sleepy but just about managed to stay awake for this one.
