Apartment 212 (2017)
7/10
Gnaw - A cut and bite above your average creature feature!
30 January 2020
Creepy as hell and quite disturbing and not for the squeamish!.

The film is very well directed for a low budget and really takes you on a hellish journey and even though it has a slow buildup I think it is done well and gives more time to building the characters and the tension!

Kyle Gass is a much underrated actor and he shines in this giving such a likeable and personable performance he almost steals the show.

The lead actress however impresses with her genuinely innocent demeanour and sizzles with a genuine unpretentious sexiness that just flows from her effortless performance and this just adds to the pleasure of watching as you really feel for her character; something most films miss the mark with every time! The mark of a good film is when you feel for the characters and the director has accomplished this with aplomb! Very rarely do I see an actress these days that has genuine sex appeal and can actually act but Penelope Mitchell is one to watch for sure.

The film plays out a lot like an episode of Tales From The Darkside and the creature is well done even if it stole a little in the design from the movie Gremlins and for a low budget horror succeeds on my scare-meter.

Was not expecting much but I came out with a lot more than I was expecting!
