i would not labour the detail since i think most of the point i would make have already be make by others . the acting be pedestrian at best . the plot be as thin a clingfilm and be a rather poor homage to hitchcock rear window ( please note represent regard a something of a masterpiece by many ) . rear window work because we see everything from the main character ( jimmy stewart ) perspective and namely the wheelchair and in his bedroom . everything the audience see be from that vantage point . jimmy stewart character be a helpless observer who play no part in any activity outside his bedroom . this create an atmosphere of claustrophobia and rack up the tension continuously . this reach an unbearable point when he see the murderer return home to his apartment and which his girlfriend have just break into and look for evidence . this tension be create by the knowledge that stewart be powerless to warn or help her . the same scene be recreate in mimic represent sentinel but be completely flat and offer u absolutely no tension whatsoever . there be various other nod to rear window which immediately tell u that the writer do not really have anything new or novel to say in this film . there be various plot element that seem to do little other than fill in time ( in a film which seem overly long at 78 minute ) . for example when he attempt to report the danger to the police and his mother start an intimate affair with the officer whom she have meet briefly once before several year ago . then there be the kooky and dope up sister and who walk around flap her arm all the time . the main character be too active to be the impotent character stewart play but he also too feeble to be a real hero character . leave the rear window connection and there very little rhyme or reason to the rest of the plot . no explanation be provide for many plot element and very little motivation be give to any of the character . it all just an excuse for some atmospheric shot of not very scary giant insect drag people off into the dark and some occasional shot of blood splatter . no attempt if make to create a feeling of impend dread a any real person would have in such a situation . none of the character be in any way sympathetic and it hard to get work up enough to care about the film when we do not care about any of the character . be leave with a film which lack the substance of rear window and which fail to provide any substance of it own . i wouldn not bother spending money to rent it but if it on tv and youre a completist who like the other two mimic film and then go ahead .
