Sarah tries to start anew in LA, but her neighbours are not what they seem.

Here we have a perfect example of a film that the less you know about it the better the viewing experience is, I’ve always believed in this and whilst I try to watch as little of a trailer as I can this was a film I knew zero about and was also seeing it on the big screen. I can’t remember the last time that happened.

As I sat in my seat and watched this features story unfold before my eyes, I felt myself being slowly drawn into what was going on onscreen. Here was a great case of what a writer can do to help flesh out characters and place you into their world, like you’re a voyeur watching their daily lives.

I don’t say this too often but when the films credit started to roll I said out loud that I was actually blown away by what I just saw, I have to say that I think our lead actress Nicole Brydon Bloom has a bright future ahead of her, that also goes for writer/director David Marmor.

The independent scene is overflowing with originality and talent and here is a prime example of that, the pacing of the film is done perfectly to add layer and layer of suspense but what I also give praise for is making it a story that is believable and to some extent relatable.

Like I said “1BR” is a perfect example of how strong the independent scene is. Do yourself a favour and skip the trailer below (in my opinion it gives away too much of the story and the surprises it has for you) and just watch it and enjoy.
