(Though after the first in a series of night bumps, I’d like to think I’d be out of there if I were in the shoes of the protagonist.)Įspecially indelible is the inevitable moment in the feature when the protagonist realizes that the other occupants are ghosts or something similar and/or are all wrapped up in some sinister plot catered to them. You yourself don’t immediately expect that the situation’s going to get bad sooner or later for an unlucky character- it’s just a friendly looking complex downtown! - and so the eventual mouth-agape, totally horrified reaction to something evil from the person who buys the place at the beginning of the film matches our own for the most part. As such, there’s an extra freakiness added to horror movies about people who unwittingly move into haunted apartment buildings. To start driving down that road of thinking, you either have to live there yourself for a little while or do a little digging online. See an apartment building in the middle of the city, however, and your thoughts don’t immediately move in a paranormal direction.
