Tom (Nigel Bach) thinks the house he has just bought was a real steal,
not only is it beautiful and roomy, it's also practically fully furnished
and needs only minimal fix-up before it can be thrown onto the market
again for a healthy profit. Well, that's what Tom thinks at least, as
while he's staying at the place to dress it up, he notices that his humble
efforts are sabotaged repeatedly. At first he figures it's not a big deal,
just some prank probably played by some neighbourhood kids. But he
installs security cameras all over the house to act as a deterrent - which
only it doesn't, the cameras don't even show who's behind all the
shenanigans - and it's not until it's much too late that Tom notices that
whoever's behind what's going on is not some neighbourhood kids but
something much more sinister ... Now this is not a film that
re-invents found footage cinema, but it features a nice build-up (not a
given for the genre), and Nigel Bach in the lead (and only) role sure is
likeable enough to keep one interested throughout, and the issues he's
going through are at least relatable, so what little exposition there is
suffices to keep things interesting. No masterpiece maybe, but a solid
watch.
