Across the Hall (2009)

Director Alex Merkin expands his own earlier short film to feature length with this thriller starring Mike Vogel, Brittany Murphy and Danny Pino. A man who thinks his girlfriend is cheating on him calls his best friend to come to a hotel and help him confront the girl and her lover.

I was really impressed by this film, the non linear story telling may feel like a bit of a gimmick to start with but it really helps frame what could have been a fairly unoriginal plot. The way the plot is executed helps the many twists you would expect from a film of this type work. There is plenty of tension and atmosphere in the claustrophobic environment of the hotel. About the only let down is that the performances of the actors are fairly unremarkable.
