Surprisingly... Not Totally Awful.


I actually liked it a lot up till the last ten-fifteen minutes. "Explanations" and ridiculous events like the fridge survival bit, which edges up there with Indy in the fridge. I mean, that fire would have needed some putting out...

Most of the film is rather good, with quirky, if not altogether likable, characters who are nonetheless interesting. The restricted setting - mostly a single apartment and an alley - are intentionally reminiscent of Rear Window and handy in making a low budget film work. All in all, it is technically well made, actors are good, effects are decent... Until things sorta come apart.

I didn't bother watching this or 2 all this time... assuming the worst. So, this was kinda pleasant. I'll watch 2 now.

This has always been my favorite of the trilogy. I like the whole Rear Window style of it.
