Connecticut native Jesse Bradford plays a quiet ex-con who moves into his dead mother's East Village apartment. A cop and his wife and young daughter live next door, and the ex-con often hears fighting going on in their apartment. He also begins hearing odd noises, which the landlord attributes to old pipes. He then begins seeing apparitions, which may or may not be his dreams. He discovers that his mother died of starvation, and a tape recording she left behind reveals she too was disturbed by odd noises and visions. When he finally calls the cops on the abusive neighbor, all hell breaks loose, starting with the fact that the apartment next door is vacant, and has been for quite some time. This is a English-language remake of a foreign-made 2004 thriller, made by the same director. It's definitely one of those vengeful spirit movies Asians apparently love so much. Bradford appears in just about every scene, and does a nice job.
