Summary: 5 Stars
Beware of renting in an old building that's being renovated - you never know what all that dust and noise might "wake up". Tobe Hooper is BAAAACK and he is NOT messing around in this scary, gory movie. Set in the Lusman Arms (but filmed at the creepy old Ambassador Hotel - site of many tragedies of its own), a young couple, Nell and Steven (the great Angela Bettis of "May" fame and Brent Roam), move in on the typical "dark and stormy night", unaware that a murder has already occurred in the building. As Steven is a med school intern, he is away a lot, leaving Nell to her own devices in this creepy building with it's MORE than fair share of strange tenants. She hears things, calls the police (who, of course, don't find anything) who think she is crazy, a friend down the hall disappears, she starts doing a little investigating into the Lusman's past and that's where the REAL fun starts. There are several power tool-related murders but Hooper has them lit in such a way that you can't quite make out what exactly is being done but the outcome is obvious (and quite grisly in a few cases). The building itself is a principal character and a very scary one at that - with all the dark hallways, boarded-up areas, the eerie back stairways, plastic sheeted areas for the renovation - LOTS of shadows and plays of light to startle and mislead. The supporting cast is quite good: Rance Howard (father of Ron and Clint) as a long-time denizen of the Lusman, Juliet Landau as Nell's friend, Julia, co-writer Adam Gierasch as Ned the creepy handyman, Sheri Moon ("House of 1000 Corpses") as Daisy, Adam Weisman as the voyeuristic young neighbor Austin who finally believes Nell. Very suspenseful movie with a great "chase" sequence through the uninhabited parts of the building - Tobe DOES love to have his female leads chased by psychos - with some horrifying discoveries along the way all make for a really fun, frightening horror film. Welcome back, Tobe!!!! We missed the hard core fellow from "Texas Chainsaw Massacre".
