Pure horror bliss. When a young couple moves to Romania for Francis’ job opportunity, Julia starts to lose it when she thinks a neighbor is watching and stalking her. Is she in danger or just paranoid? Francis is the idiot husband who works long hours and doesn’t believe Julia is a target.

As the audience, we’re on Julia’s side, but it’s not always clear if the creepy neighbor is really a menace or Julia is just experiencing a series of cultural misunderstandings. In the background, there are decapitation killings in the neighborhood that both add to the fear of Julia being the next target as well as adding to her paranoia.

What makes this movie so good is how it keeps you guessing, keeps you on edge, and pays off big time at the end. The pacing is spot on and even up until the very end, you’re not sure what is going to happen to Julia.
