i saw this film in a room that design to play horror film and that all you can see there . this film be make with little money and tobe hooper skills show throughout the movie and his ability to play with u and to make our fear rise and our heart beat faster . i think the atmosphere be great . basically the story be represent every year thousand of people go to l. a. to pursue their dream and some succeed . some not . some end up in the lusman building . the lusman building be once a luxurious building and with classy and rich resident . today and it an old and spooky and sinister building where you would not want to live and if you do live there and you would want to leave . but could you . it house a supernatural evil . it be subdue for decade but when renovation start and a series of murder take place . this film become a mystery a our heroine nell ( angela bettis see her in may ) try to unravel the secret of the lusman building and it resident . it keep u guess cause almost everyone be a suspect and hooper doesn not need big special effect to keep u interested and the story be fast paced and the killing be inventive and gruesome . it not that kind of film that spend million of dollar in special effect and scar u only with sharp and loud sound and trick like that and no . this film show a great director and some good actor and a good sinister story that will really scare you in a way that only really good horror movie can . this be no cheap trick or horror movie for 16 year old boy with cheerleader type actresses that show off their asset . this movie be far more interesting and scary than most of the so called horror movie that go to theater . like i read in bloody disgusting . com and toolbox be a strong film likely to boost tobe hooper back into the top rung of horror director along with name like craven and carpenter and and romero . go see a master of horror do his thing . you will not be disappoint .
