I love this movie so much

brilliant actors, brilliant editing

Amazing worth wacthing. So good. Biased but well made with many good points.

It's a good bad... and worth a popcorn matinée. While it's easy to lament what could have been...

** THIS REVIEW COULD CONTAIN A LOT OF SPOILERS. I RECOMMEND THAT THE READER VIEW THE FILM FIRST IF THEY PREFER THAT THE FILM NOT BE SPOILED FOR THEM. THANK YOU. **I really liked this film, even though the mass majority leaves it with a 5.7, I say it was a 7.I believe the movie is severely under rated. It was a great story. Not only great, it was realistic. It isn't your everyday slasher/monster movie. It's very original. Juliet Lewis plays a great character, and you know what, she kind of looks like she would be an interior designer, like she is in the movie. She plays the part perfect. The only thing that I DON'T like about the movie, that isn't realistic, is how she just inherited her aunts apartment. You don't just inherit apartments. Unless the law is different in New York, I thought only something you owned directly could be written in a Will? I'm not sure, but if it were a condo it would've been more convincing, which is one reason I gave the movie a 7 instead of an 8. Juliet Lewis is trying to settle down in her apartment, after the murder of her aunt. As she moves her belongings into the apartment, weird stuff starts happening. A neighbor starts destroying the floor from a bottom apartment, rats start showing up by the hundreds, and other weird notes start appearing. Apparently, someone doesn't want her there. At this point anyone would know it's one of the people living in the building. That's a given. It's just who? She meets all of them, and they all seem nice. However, that's not enough to convince her to move into her weather broadcaster boyfriends country home. She wants to stay where she is, and live on her own for awhile. As she does, she continues to experience these weird encounters. She eventually gets a package that reveals a picture of her dead aunt buried under a bunch of packing peanuts. This freaks her out. There's rumors throughout the building that floor floor houses this person who never comes out. A homebody who she thinks is trying to sabotage her. Of course the person is on the fourth floor...Towards the end, she breaks an entering into the infamous apartment four. She discovers who ever lives there is a psycho path. You get to find out who this is, and when you do, you'll be surprised. Although, what I like about the surprise, is that there's a surprise behind the surprise. It's definitely a eye opener to Juliet's character. Juliet Lewis eventually gets in a fight with this person, and a guy comes and knocks the person out from behind. Then, the person gets up again, runs after her, and is threw down the stairwell by her boyfriend who decides to visit. She then decides to finally move in with him on the country side. At the end, a certain person watched what went on in the fourth floor apartment, and painted a picture on a canvas of what he ob served earlier. It was a painting of her boyfriend negotiating with this psychopath. So, the boyfriend is willing to do anything for possession. The certain person he negotiated with was nuts, and used the whole building as a fortress. I will not give the reader all of the the person did, it is worth watching for.An overall summary would conclude that the acting was good and the story was believable. There was just some parts that the viewer would be saying "yeah right." Some logic was just poorly used in the script. All in all, I think this movie deserves more than a 5.7 rating. It's good for a one time watch.

Juliette Lewis takes over the lease on her dead aunts apt. only to find her neighbor below is a pain in the butt. The whole apt building is full of weird attendants and even her neighbors in the surrounding buildings freak her out as she watches them through her window. She suffers a lot before finding out the truth and getting to the bottom of things about the mysterious things that are going on around her.This movie is a thriller, but its not really that thrilling. It has a lot of dragging moments and you are sitting there wanting it to get the point already. It has some twists but has a lot of stuff you will be able to predict as well.The acting is good, Shelly DuVall and Juliette Lewis are amazing and William Hurt usually goes unnoticed and here is no exception, hes one of those bad actors that anyone could play his parts. Tobin Bell is great here too, a creepy old guy in a role years before Saw would make him famous.Nothing on the production side of this stood out, it was just basic. I would recommend it to anyone that likes these types of movies about creepy nosey neighbors and being alone and not feeling safe in your own house.Its not a horror movie as its often promoted as being, its just a straight up thriller/suspense/ drama.. you might like it if you like those types of things.

"The 4th Floor" is about a young woman (Juliette Lewis) who moves into her late aunt's apartment much to her boyfriend's (William Hurt) disapproval. The other tenants in the building are very strange, Jerry (Artie Lange), Martha (Shelley Duvall), and the woman on the floor below her are very shady as well as the man across the street (Tobin Bell). Mr. Collins (Austin Pendleton) seems to be the only normal person in the building. However, odd and eerie things begin happening in the apartment below her, and Juliette Lewis suspects that things are not what they seem. This was much better than I had expected, with an all-star cast and a good script, this movie went a long way. Suspense and mystery made this a win-win movie, with barely a boring moment. Beware of the many red herrings in this movie, almost every character could be a murderer. I strongly recommend this eerie thriller!Rated: R for Violence, Brief Nudity, and Profanity.Grade: C

if u like Juliette Lewis, you'll enjoy this film I love the movies she has been in, she always picks great movies. This is a very colourful film, there are many aspects to this film that are enjoyable The character she plays is unique and entertaining. Another thing that i liked about the movie is that this is a who-donnit type of movie. Through out the movie you'll be asking this question and it's not who you think it's going to be. The end is great, if you haven't seen it, you ought to go get the video or dvd!
