Product Description

Product description

Across The Hall

Amazon.com

At first glance, Across the Hall has the look of one of those "stylish thrillers" with little substance below its glossy veneer. But there's more to this story, which director Alex Merkin and screenwriter Jesse Mittelstadt expanded from its original incarnation as a 2005 short film. Danny Pino costars as Terry, an insecure, short-fused guy who's convinced that his girlfriend, June (Brittany Murphy), is cheating on him--so convinced, in fact, that he has followed her to a funky hotel (one of those spooky places with few other guests and an oddball porter oozing portentous nuttiness) and booked the room across the hall from hers, where he stares through the peephole, armed with a gun and very bad intent. Jesse calls his best bud Julian (Mike Vogel) and confesses what he's up to, which sets in motion a series of plot twists, some fairly predictable (viewers good at such things will certainly see them coming) and some not at all. The action jumps around in terms of both time frame and point of view, but Merkin, who was also the editor, makes it all work. And while the film has its share of timeworn tricks and devices (including cell phones ringing in all the wrong places and the old "did he take the elevator or the stairs?" bit), not to mention a couple of overly convenient plot developments, Merkin handily maintains a kind of noirish tension throughout its tidy, 90-minute running time. Stylish indeed--but good, too. --Sam Graham

    5.0 out of 5 stars Hip, stylish, dark and Noir...it doesn't get much better...
    Reviewed in the United States on August 18, 2010
    Verified Purchase
    *As will appear in the October 2010 issue of Twisted Dreams Magazine, alongside an interview with Brad Greenquist - the Porter.

    Your Mistress Macabre LOVES a good Noir movie. The trouble is - in today's world of CGI and stunt driven over-the-top remakes and some just plain garbage that makes its way to the screen - it's next to impossible to find.

    But Across The Hall is proof positive that a good movie does not have to have theatrical release. In fact, I'm finding this more and more.

    Step aside, Hollywood...your glory days are long behind you, with the rubbish you're greenlighting. Say "Hello" to the future...Independently produced, filmed and distributed movies.

    A premier example of all the right stuff...Across The Hall.

    Wow...what a movie!

    Admittedly, the only reason I even watched this movie is because I'm a huge fan of the magnificently talented actor, Brad Greenquist (if you've read this terrible tome, cover-to- cover like good little ghouls, you've already read his fabulous interview with little old moi!) and like to show my support because I feel he is so underrated in Hollywood.

    Once again he stood out like a lightning bolt in a storm. The movie being so great anyway - that was just gravy.

    In what would be one of Brittany Murphy's last movie performances, at the risk of sounding crass and completely unfeeling (not the first time I've been accused) I have to say... "Brittany honey - what a way to go out!"

    Meet Terry (Danny Pino) a young man who's found out that his fiancée (Murphy) has checked into a hotel with another man for a little tryst.

    Consumed with rage and hurt, he decides to go kill them both. The only thing stopping him, so far, is his best friend Julian (Mike Vogel) whom he calls throughout the movie.

    So what? `Sounds boring' you say, two guys talking on a cell phone throughout the movie? Well, let me tell you, it is much more complicated than that and at the risk of giving the entire movie away, I can't say any more.

    Let's just say that things are not what they seem and with the entrance of the creepy Porter (Greenquist) who endures disrespect from not only his lazy co-workers...but also the patrons that check in and seems to know far more than people wish to know about the rundown hotel he takes meticulous care of...this movie should make Noir history!

    Brad Greenquist adds a calm weirdness to this movie that will chill you. His mannerisms, his slow and methodical actions - let's just say that I'm not too sure I'd stay in a hotel if he was a porter, like in Across The Hall. Oh and that's a good thing - when you can creep me out!

    With a 1930's feel and a tense suspense that - by the time the movie is over - will have you exclaiming aloud (as I did) "NO WAY!" this is one movie not to be missed.

    The only negative thing I can say about this movie is that, at times, it's slow. But...you'll find that building the storyline so that it can all come crashing into place (and boy does it!) is a necessity.

    I give this movie a 9.5 out of a Twisted 10 and must add an, I NEED MORE, for one heck of a movie that this depraved diva of darkness, wishes they'd make more of.

    5.0 out of 5 stars IS THERE IN TRUTH REALLY JUSTICE?
    Reviewed in the United States on May 4, 2013
    Verified Purchase
    For those who enjoy film noir in general and Alfred Hitchcock in particular, this movie is for you. Take two best friends, one adulterous affair, a former girl friend, a weird major bellhop, and an aged once noteworthy hotel with few occupants - shake well - and you have all the makings of an often perplexing yet gripping thriller filled with surprises. The numbers 508, 507, and 304 will take on new meaning as this "roller coaster" of a story unfolds.

    Mike Vogel (recently of Bates Motel, Pan Am, Grind) and Danny Pino (Cold Case, Law & Order) are best friends. The latter's fiance (Brittany Murphy) is cheating on him. Pino knows it (how is not revealed), follows her to The Riverview Hotel where he assumes she will be meeting her lover, bribes the bellhop into renting him the room across from where Murphy is staying, and spies through the peep hole window in his door determined to learn the identity of Murphy's lover. In the meantime, Pino calls his best buddy Vogel to come to the hotel because he needs him. Before all of this takes place, however, we see the arrival of Murphy at the hotel and a sequence of scenes involving Vogel, and separately the bellhop entering Room 507 after removing police tape placed in front of the room's door. We soon realize that we are dealing with a series of flashbacks which initially can seem confusing but all falls into place very quickly. Careful attention must be paid to everything going on, especially any details that may seem unimportant at first. This shifting of time goes on throughout the rest of the film but that's what makes it fun.

    Pino finally thinks that he has caught Murphy's lover. A struggle ensues with Murphy who is accidentally shot and killed with a gun that Pino has stolen from Vogel. Later, Pino wants Vogel to shoot the purported lover for him in order to cover things up and confuse the issue for the police.
    From this point on, there is one twist after another and all is not as it seems, though the viewer already knows this from previous scenes. It is the final twists that give this neo-noirish film its real kick, and it is left to the audience to individually judge whether the final denoument is satisfying and justified.

    This movie definitely did NOT drag and reminded me most of all of Hitchcock's "Dial M for Murder" (Grace Kelley, Robert Cummings), with a hint of "Rope" (Jimmy Stewart) and "Strangers on a Train" (Robert Walker, Farley Granger) - just a "hint"! Enjoy the brew.

    They also could have edited this down to about an hour.

    I'm very glad that some people still know how to make a good movie. I'm also glad I'm not the only person who recognized that this is noir; or at least "neo"-noir. People who think this kind of movie is bad disqualify themselves from the possibility of making worthwhile aesthetic judgments in the first place.

    This film actually exceeded my expectations. It was a little slow in places. Jumps around from past to present and back regularly. But overall its a pretty good film. It reminded me a bit of Best Laid Plans (not quite as good as that though), but still a good film and worth a watch. It really gets going halfway through, but do persist with it as it wont disappoint.

    Def would recommend this film to a friend. Plan to lend it to friends so they can watch it too.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Writer Stands Out In This Film
    Reviewed in Canada on January 5, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    The screenwriter for this movie is the standout in this film. With a small budget, cast of five people, one location, and twist after twist, I quite enjoyed this film. It was more of a mystery and slow burn than gratuitous sex, language and violence. The acting and production value were both very good. Perfect hotel for a noir type film. Could be black and white and still be as entertaining. Recommended for subtle film of murder and intrigue, told in a series of flashbacks that give the film its energy.
