Carly Norris has just moved into a fancy high-rise Manhattan apartment building, a sliver. After having her application accepted very quickly she soon finds out that the previous tenant in her apartment was not only killed, but Carly looks just like her. Signs point to the fact that the killer is someone Carly knows from the building...
The plot tries to tackle some pretty deep psychology by probing into human nature's curiosity and compulsiveness, but only manages to scratch the surface, if that. The film also spends too much time developing as a "who's the killer?" movie to tackle any deeper subject matter. The list of suspects is also surprising limited so any who has seen a few films in the genre will narrow the "mystery" here to only a few key shreds of evidence, though the actual ending might still not be totally expected, it won't be satisfyingly clever either. The film's misguided development brings about some serious questions since there are pretty big changes in character, yet very little happens to actually merit them. In a brief, but interesting scene, Carly is dared to take of her panties in a fancy restaurant as part of a "game." Pretty risky game that would require a good amount of nerves and build-up, yet this is the first (and only) "game" they ever play. These things go on and what is left is an uneven psychological sex-thriller that even manages to deliver only mediocre sex scenes. --- 4/10
Rated R for sexual content and some violence
