In terms of creative story telling, acting, cinematography, dialogue this rates 8 stars for me. Story, as viewers probably already have read, centers on a intelligent but highly disturbed condo complex doorman, fixer-upper, greeter, what ever task dwellers ask of him. He lives alone in the basement, has had problems keeping similar jobs in the past and has some serious anger self- esteem issues. Also has a semi-aware yet comatose hospitalized mom with whom he has mommy issues with and in whom he confides his evil intentions just to torment her and be the vehicle by which the audience learns his true nature. But, 6 stars for too many holes in the story such as his background with his mom; how he became so creepy; how he was able to pull so much off, so many times, without being caught, especially when the police fail with what little they know about forensics in solving a death in the building and other investigations; finally, the ending which was clever but not believable. Summation - 7 stars.
