tiskec ** THIS REVIEW COULD CONTAIN A LOT OF SPOILERS. I RECOMMEND THAT THE READER VIEW THE FILM FIRST IF THEY PREFER THAT THE FILM NOT BE SPOILED FOR THEM. THANK YOU. **I really liked this film, even though the mass majority leaves it with a 5.7, I say it was a 7.I believe the movie is severely under rated. It was a great story. Not only great, it was realistic. It isn't your everyday slasher/monster movie. It's very original. Juliet Lewis plays a great character, and you know what, she kind of looks like she would be an interior designer, like she is in the movie. She plays the part perfect. The only thing that I DON'T like about the movie, that isn't realistic, is how she just inherited her aunts apartment. You don't just inherit apartments. Unless the law is different in New York, I thought only something you owned directly could be written in a Will? I'm not sure, but if it were a condo it would've been more convincing, which is one reason I gave the movie a 7 instead of an 8. Juliet Lewis is trying to settle down in her apartment, after the murder of her aunt. As she moves her belongings into the apartment, weird stuff starts happening. A neighbor starts destroying the floor from a bottom apartment, rats start showing up by the hundreds, and other weird notes start appearing. Apparently, someone doesn't want her there. At this point anyone would know it's one of the people living in the building. That's a given. It's just who? She meets all of them, and they all seem nice. However, that's not enough to convince her to move into her weather broadcaster boyfriends country home. She wants to stay where she is, and live on her own for awhile. As she does, she continues to experience these weird encounters. She eventually gets a package that reveals a picture of her dead aunt buried under a bunch of packing peanuts. This freaks her out. There's rumors throughout the building that floor floor houses this person who never comes out. A homebody who she thinks is trying to sabotage her. Of course the person is on the fourth floor...Towards the end, she breaks an entering into the infamous apartment four. She discovers who ever lives there is a psycho path. You get to find out who this is, and when you do, you'll be surprised. Although, what I like about the surprise, is that there's a surprise behind the surprise. It's definitely a eye opener to Juliet's character. Juliet Lewis eventually gets in a fight with this person, and a guy comes and knocks the person out from behind. Then, the person gets up again, runs after her, and is threw down the stairwell by her boyfriend who decides to visit. She then decides to finally move in with him on the country side. At the end, a certain person watched what went on in the fourth floor apartment, and painted a picture on a canvas of what he ob served earlier. It was a painting of her boyfriend negotiating with this psychopath. So, the boyfriend is willing to do anything for possession. The certain person he negotiated with was nuts, and used the whole building as a fortress. I will not give the reader all of the the person did, it is worth watching for.An overall summary would conclude that the acting was good and the story was believable. There was just some parts that the viewer would be saying "yeah right." Some logic was just poorly used in the script. All in all, I think this movie deserves more than a 5.7 rating. It's good for a one time watch.

Toronto85 A young woman inherits an apartment on "The 4th Floor", and discovers some deadly secrets. Jane Emelin's grandmother passed away after a bizarre accident in the building, so she gets the apartment on the fourth floor. Immediately she meets her crazed and wacky neighbours, some of whom seem very off. She also has a slew of people doing weird things across the street from her, she has a perfect view from her place into theirs. It has a "Rear Window" feel to it, very well done. Pretty soon after, her neighbour below begins banging on the ceiling scaring Jane late at night and even during the day telling her to keep quiet. The person below soon fills Jane's apartment with rats, frightening her! But this person's issues go much deeper than wanting Jane to keep the noise level down... and the person goes further than simply putting a few rats inside of the apartment.I liked 'The 4th Floor', it was a pretty well done suspense film. Jane is basically being harassed by her neighbour below in an attempt to get her to move out. We get some suspects; her boyfriend who wants her to move in with him, a creepy female neighbour, a locksmith who lives across the street and a nice but odd male neighbour who takes a liking to Jane. According to everyone in the building, the neighbour below is an old lady who NEVER comes out. We of course find out differently, and also discover what really happened to Jane's grandmother. Lots of mystery.Acting was well done by all in this one, with Juliette Lewis in the lead heroine role. "The 4th Floor" doesn't have all the blood and special effects that others have, but it doesn't need it. It's story and very creepy conclusion/twist that make this a must see!6/10

tadeusz-luksusowyjacht Well, I saw this movie last night. I got to say, it is pretty decent thriller with elements of psychedelic.Young woman gets apartment from her died aunt and starts accommodating when strange things start to happen. Some are believable, some ...somehow not. I really liked the atmosphere of danger and a little weirdness. The whole world in this movie seems to be a little odd, kinda 3 inches to the left. You got a feeling that not everything is as it should be.Unfortunattely I could pretty easy predict who is the main "bad guy".I liked Tobin "The Saw" Bell small part, also Artie Lange was not bad in part kinda not his styla.Now , minor or major, spoiler, so beware.In 1976 Roman Polański made The Tenant (Le Locataire) based on great novel by late Roland Topor. If you saw that movie, The 4th Floor will be VERY familiar. Unfortunately, what worked in France is not that great in Da City.Also, you got to love Juliette Lewis, she is not shy in front of the camera :) If you got nothing better to do - see this movie, but if you have to go to the Blockbuster - get The Tenant. Bye.

NoName1989 I liked this film a lot. Juliette Lewis and Austin Pendleton did a very good job in this movie. Also William Hurt acted O.K.. Some movies in this genre are predictable, but this one wasn't. The 4th Floor is Josh Klausner's first movie. I must say he did a very good job. The movie is certainly not a masterpiece, but it is very exciting! Pay attention to the last scene of the movie. Some of the music is very good!I recommend this movie to everyone!I learned a new word in this movie: I'm only going to give the first and last letter, because I don't want to spoil. The word is "P..S". People who saw the movie, will know which word it is.
