Storyline;

Same as Synopsis

Thoughts;

So, the synopsis explains the entire movie. There is no backstory really in the beginning. After the very beginning the movie just goes into what is happening now. All these tenants are moving into the building which was once the slaughter house.

It isn’t until a bit into the middle do we really start to understand that one of the tenants is there to find out history on what happened to his father. It’s him that explains that it was a slaughter house but there were rumors of people slaughter.

From here we see the owner of the building start going “a little crazy”. It’s never actually explained if the owner is the little boy from the beginning or why those things are happening to him.

All in all, the movie was ok. It was a bit slow with a big build up at the end.
