overall, the film boasts a great lead performance, a series of surprising twists and great use of sound. At its core, 1BR is a smart, satisfying thriller that will make audiences reevaluate the true cost of "the perfect apartment"
overall, "1BR" is a film full of potential and plenty of horror and thriller fun, even if it drops the ball on some of its more interesting narrative elements
a solid woman-in-peril thriller well suited to contemporary paranoiacs; Taken on its own terms, it's a solid if hardly revolutionary thriller that bodes well for the filmmaker's future in genre films
a mostly successful and engrossing merger of ambition, talent, intrigue, and fear; It does so effectively and intensely, with a smart script, a few plotholes aside, and excellent directing. The acting across the board is terrific,
"1BR" actually has more in common with horror films finding danger out in the countryside instead of more claustrophobic apartment horror where isolated insanity is usually the predictable outcome
