Awful, Disappointing and everything in between. I have always disagreed with bad reviews but this time, I'm typing it myself. This movie is crap and it unrealistic. I have never watched any movie in my entire life that was disappointing enough for me to make a review. Boooriiiinggg!

This movie has a really nice idea,that you live in a motel and they are kinda a cult I think but really falls apart in the execution. It could be much better,soo predictable you can tell the ending ten minutes in the movie and it still stupid like hi I am gonna say a word and the heroine gonna be like oh right I am gonna do something and win you cause I am the heroine. We needed to see a back story to Sarah we knew that her father cheated why not expand it to a scene and make us see it instead of telling us, it would make us care for her, root for her and feel Something at least in the fight between her and her father. There were two flashbacks in the movie to scenes that exactly happened like 5-10 minutes before it, I think the director thinks we have a short memory condition cause the flashbacks were useless. The movie feel kinda empty, we didn't know the characters well or the so called "cult" I think the only reason to watch the movie cause nicole brydon the actress of Sarah is so cute

What can I say about this movie - WATCH IT! The story is believable, well written, and superbly acted by all members of the cast. it will suck you in and spit you out before you realise it. It's not a slasher but it is incredibly creepy.

It comes across as a made for tv film. one of those you find in the afternoon, and you'd be best advised to sleep through. how does a film like this get good reviews,needs investigating?

Reviews are a little all over, but the average is where it should it be at this moment. It's low budget and independent. There aren't any well known people obviously, but the lead actor was decent. The story, editing, sets, lighting were all good for what it is. I genuinely felt this could happen to someone, and felt the tension of it. There are a couple of moments where it works as a light horror/drama. I'd give it go if you like feeling off balance in a living arrangement.

In an age where movies seem to bang audiences over the head with their storylines and action from the outset, 1BR reminds us that a well told and properly structured film can land a far more powerful punch. IBR is about a young woman who finds herself trapped in an LA apartment complex by a cult, unique in design and complexity. That's about as much synopsis as I'll give as I would not want to give spoilers. 1BR is a modern horror story of cults, paranoia and torture. As horror films go, it's nicely paced going in all the right ways (at first). The small doses of violence and gore are carefully, even artfully placed. Nothing is done purely to shock. The pieces fit well together and the performances work. The director as worked hard with the cast to create highly believable performances that sell the premise and make it believable. 1BR moves slowly, grinding suspense out in much the same way Polanski's Rosemary's Baby did, but with a modern and even more relatable angle. By the end of the movie I found myself caught up in the suspense and rooting for the lead. The audience at the LA premiere reacted strongly, especially in the 3rd act. My high rating of 9 out of 10 does make some allowances for what is obviously a smaller film without big stars, but frankly it all adds up to a viewing experience that feels more genuine than what we often see from larger productions. Check it out, give it a chance to work its way into your psyche and I think you'll have a good time!

1BR is probably the closest to a "pure" Horror film that I've seen in some time. Let me qualify that. If you want to be scared by a ghost or monster out of fantasyland or want a time-wasting slasher with a few jump scares, this isn't for you. If you can't tolerate sadistic stuff and are particularly squeamish around body horror, I'd pass as well. I found myself looking away more than once. I think 1 BR is a very significant film for the horror genre because it doesn't hold back anything in the way of manmade evil. It's closer to Invasion of the Body Snatchers and Night of the Living Dead than Get Out or Us, for example (both good films but not in this league at all). It's suspenseful, beyond creepy, and genuinely anxiety inducing in ways the supernatural or paranoid fantasies just can't touch. It's one of those films that I'm glad to have purchased but if someone were to ask me when I'd watch it again... I can't say I'm ready for that commitment quite yet. Many great films aren't a joyride every minute to sit through. All the truth-telling can hurt after a while. Watching the trailer I was skeptical of Nicole Brydon Bloom's ability to carry off the lead in this movie, but she is well-cast and has a sort of muted intensity close to Olivia Hussey's performance in Black Christmas (1974). The rest of the cast is solid, especially Taylor Nichols who is a long way from playing the endearing nebbish in Whit Stillman's early films/ We follow Bloom's character as she arrives on-the-run from a bad previous life with a philandering dominating father and dead mother. She stumbles into an apartment complex whose tenants seem a bit too content for their own good, then shortly (very shortly, this film pulls no punches) things go way off the charts, and we're not talking about walls that drip blood or discovering Jeff Dahmer's your next door neighbor. No, this is a real life nightmare and there's no Freddy to save you from it. What's odd is that I wouldn't call this film "original". 1BR borrows heavily from previously made horror movies and novels, and though it charts familiar territory, it does it with such tremendous earnestness that it's tough to quibble with. If anything, it's flaw might be that it's a bit too perfect script-wise. It's signature song is a nice nod to Danny Boyle's 1994 classic debut Shallow Grave, and shares that film's pitch soot sensibility. As with any extreme work of art, 1BR will polarize people. But if nothing else, 1BR is going to be a stellar calling card for writer/director David Marmor. He definitely understands the genre and what the hardcore fans want, and he isn't hanging onto paranoid totems and crutches to make his point. No, pure fear of each other works just fine in this case.
