    • Trivia
      Early in the film it is revealed that the woman in the apartment below Jane's is named Alice. Later on the Korean shop owner identifies her as Miss Cooper.
    • Goofs
      When Jane goes pounding on the door on the fourth floor, we see her through the peephole. The first two shots show her standing in an empty hallway, then when she's done pounding and starts to turn away, there are suddenly several bags of garbage around her.

    7/10
    "The Tenant" meets "Rear Window"; excellent until the last 10 minutes.
    When the build-up of a movie is as good as it is in "The 4th Floor", the third act will almost inevitably have to be somewhat disappointing. The director, who is a first-timer to boot, does a very good job of creating a sinister, eerie atmosphere and keeping us hooked, always in doubt about who the guilty party is. Then in the last 10 minutes, it all becomes a routine slasher film, complete with half-baked plot "explanations" and a gratuitous "twist ending". Still, for the most part this an excellent little thriller, and definitely worth your time. (***)
