You will never believe it, but the 4th Floor was the first DVD I've ever owned. In fact, I finally got a DVD player this Christmas (a week ago, in 2006). Yes, when it comes to "getting with the times" you can say I'm pretty slow, but this movie will now go down in history as the first DVD I've ever had, and that alone makes the overall rating jump from a 4 to a 5.

This is the kind of movie that's scary in the Scooby Doo style. No, I don't mean the Scooby Doo movies with Sarah Michelle Gellar (who's totally hot, by the way) I mean the old cartoon series. Remember when you had to guess who the bad guy was? It's like that.

The 4th Floor is about a woman who moves into an apartment building, and to her surprise, the entire building features strange people. In fact, not a single person in that building is normal. Out of all these unusual people, only one of them is responsible for messing with the woman who just moved in. The room below from the woman is how the movie got its name, because that's where the crazy person lives.

Supposedly, this crazy person never comes out of their room. So when the woman in the floor above has to deal with the many irritating problems from the person below (such as constantly beating on the ceiling) this is when the woman decides she wants to know who lives in the room below, and confront them. This is where the suspense comes in.

It's almost like a horror plot, but not quite. It's more along the lines of suspense and mystery.

It's an enjoyable movie, worth watching more than once.

Okay except for Juliette Lewis' tendencey to whine. It was also pretty predictable. I figured right from the start that her boyfriend (Hurt) was in on it. He was one screwed up dude, pulling the wool over everybody's eyes.

After reading the 3 reviews, I'd expected The 4th Floor to be fairly good, but it was disappointing. Too many "suspects"....nearly everyone In the movie. I thought it was mostly irritating and only kept watching, expecting it to get better. It didn't.

not bad, don't let the three stars fool you, i like this movie its creepy and suspenseful, reminds me of hitchcock's rear window

THIS IS A GREAT THRILLER/HORROR MOVIE THAT WILL KEEP YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT AS A SINGLE WOMAN FIGHTS FOR DEAR LIFE .HIGHLY RECOMMENDED .FULL SCREEN VERSION PICTURE AND SOUND QUALITY IS VERY GOOD.
