About This Movie

The Super, directed by Stephan Rick, dives into the eerie atmosphere of a rundown NYC apartment building. The pacing is deliberate, building tension as the protagonist, a new superintendent, uncovers the unsettling disappearances of residents. The film leans heavily on practical effects, adding a layer of authenticity that enhances the creeping dread. Performances are solid, with the lead capturing a mix of desperation and determination. What stands out is the exploration of isolation amidst urban life, a theme that resonates through its haunting visuals. It's not just about the horror of the unknown, but the stark reality of human vulnerability in a seemingly normal environment.
