After leaving behind a painful past to follow her dreams, Sarah scores the perfect Hollywood apartment. But something is not right. Unable to sleep, tormented by strange noises and threatening notes, her new life quickly starts to unravel. By the time she learns the horrifying truth, it’s too late. Caught in a waking nightmare, Sarah must find the strength to hold onto her crumbling sanity…or be trapped forever in an existential hell.
“1BR IS THE TYPE OF HORROR FILM THAT I LIVE FOR, ONE THAT’S GROUNDED IN CHARACTER, WITH TENSE, DRAMATICALLY UNFOLDING SET-PIECES, AND SCENES THAT MAKE ME SQUIRM WITH EQUAL PARTS TERROR AND DELIGHT.”
– BIRTH.MOVIES.DEATH
“A VISCERAL EXPRESSION OF FEAR AND LONGING, 1BR COULD BE A NEW CULT CLASSIC. WITH INCREDIBLE PERFORMANCES, A SOLID TWIST AND THE POSSIBILITY OF A FRANCHISE SEQUEL, 1BR AIMS HIGH.”
– PASTE MAGAZINE
“REAL-LIFE DETAILS CULLED FROM EX-MEMBERS’ ACCOUNTS OF LIFE IN GROUPS LIKE SCIENTOLOGY AND NXIVM GIVE THE FILM AN EDGY RIPPED-FROM-THE-HEADLINES QUALITY, AS WELL AS REINFORCING THE SHEER L.A. OF IT ALL.”
– AV CLUB
“1BR IS A SMART, SATISFYING THRILLER THAT WILL MAKE AUDIENCES REEVALUATE THE TRUE COST OF ‘THE PERFECT APARTMENT’.”
– BLOODY DISGUSTING
