An Average Movie-Goer’s Review
No spoilers! If you would like spoilers – check out the Spoiler post
I love horror movies and if I’m going to watch them anyway, why not write an entertaining/funny review from the POV of an average movie-goer and not a professional critic.
Today we’re looking at the 2022’s The Dead Girl in Apartment 03
After finding her roommate dead, Laura (Laura Dooling) is haunted by her spirit and the thing responsible for her death.
Is The Dead Girl in Apartment 03 Scary?
The Dead Girl in Apartment 03 has several jump scares and does a good job of creating a lurking sense of dread. At several points during the movie, you’re focused on the background because you’re pretty sure there might be something hiding there. Unfortunately, the movie is really dark in some places so even if there is something there, you won’t notice it.
Overall you’ll probably leave The Dead Girl in Apartment 03 a bit scared especially if you just recently moved to a new apartment with bad lighting.
The Dead Girl in Apartment 03 No Spoiler Review:
The Dead Girl in Apartment 03 is good overall and at around 75 minutes, it doesn’t overstay its welcome. Laura Dooling does a great job in the film which is a good thing since she’s the character you’ll be watching the most.
The rest of the cast is okay although the acting and dialogue felt unnatural and stiff at times. This is most apparent in the scenes with the detectives. At times some of their dialogue felt like they were unnaturally announcing what they were going to do before they do it. Admittingly this is a little nitpicky and probably won’t be as distracting to others.
The movie had some effective scares and while they’re scares you’ve seen before in other movies, they’re still done well. The main problem I had with this film was that it was too dark. The lighting made it difficult to see some scenes.
Overall I highly recommend giving The Dead Girl in Apartment 03 a watch, it’s only 75 minutes, and it’s a well-told story with some good jump scares and acting.
